William Harrie Spedding the focus of William Tyrell investigation

A washing machine repairman has become the focus of the investigation into the disappearance of William Tyrell after police discovered the man had carried out work at the home from which the toddler vanished.

Homicide detectives have questioned William Harrie Spedding, 63,  and raided his home and business address on the state's mid-north coast after he allegedly gave a quote to fix a washing machine at the Kendall home where William was last seen.

It is understood that Mr Spedding had been at the home of William's grandmother just four days before the three-year-old vanished on September 12 last year.

He has made four posts on his Facebook page about the missing toddler in the past four months including one on December 2 saying "Don't give up looking...." and another five days later asking "Where is he?".

Mr Spedding and his wife, Margaret Spedding, who live with a number of children in their Bonny Hills home, took refuge at a close friend's house at nearby Lakeview on Tuesday night while police seized a number of items from their property and a unit at Laurieton.
