Discussion | Bill Spedding

Australia knows that BS is a POI.

I am not sure how the historical charges came to light, some say because Jubelin was involved in the investigation all these years ago.

I also read that one of the victims, now grown up, made allegations against him and subsequently filed a police report. The validity of this is unknown to me. It might be idle gossip?

Was it pure coincidence that a report of molestation was filed against him by one of his victims at the same time William disappeared?

Was his current wife ever aware of these historical charges that happened back in the 80's?

Whatever the case may be, BS and his wife had 3 boys in their care. From what I understand, these boys are the children of MS's son, and the daughter in law.

Let's say MS was not aware of these historical charges against BS and only became aware of it when charges were recently made against BS. She would have been enraged knowing that her husband did these things to young children. And to top it, she must have furious that her grandchildren were taken away from her because of his actions.

It is alleged that BS went to a cafe with his wife the morning of William's disappearance. An acquaintance of BS downloaded a receipt from his bank account to show that he paid with a card for their refreshments.

Afterwards, it is alleged that BS went to the school for a award presentation for one of the boys in their care.

He offered the cafe and the school as his alibi for the day.

However, some suggest that it could have been only the wife that went to the cafe and the school alone, and merely used his card to pay for the refreshments creating the illusion that BS was also there.

If MS was not aware of his historical charges that caused her grandchildren to be taken away from them, would she not be outraged and do anything in her power to get them back? To do that, she would have said that she went to the cafe alone, paid with his card, and then went to the school alone. His alibi will be in tatters. By distancing herself from BS, she might be able to have her grandchildren back.

Yet, she remains by his side and support him 100%.

MS has been questioned by the police as well?

However, IF MS knew about the historical charges and has no issue with the grandchildren been taken away, can we then assume that she is covering for him and lying about his alibi or be aware of his possible involvement with the disappearance?

If she is covering for him, is it possible that she might have first hand knowledge of the abduction or even be involved? Whatever the case may be, she lost her grandchildren in the process, a issue that must be hard for her to overcome, just for the sake of SP.

My conclusion to this is that MS will not stand by a man who is the reason for her grandchildren being taken away. Blood is thicker than water and she lost these children.

Forensic profiler paints picture of William Tyrrell's kidnapper

Sunday, 13 September 2015 12:50:57 AM

A criminal analyst, attached to the police strike force investigating the disappearance of toddler William Tyrrell, has cast light on the behaviour of his suspected kidnapper.

Yesterday marked the 12 month anniversary of William’s disappearance.

The then three year was playing on the back verandah of his grandmother’s home at Kendall, on the state’s mid north coast, when detectives believe he wandered into the path of his suspected abductor.

Psychological profiler, Sarah Yule, is a key member of Strike Force Rosann, also comprising detectives from the State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad and the Mid North Coast Local Area Command.

Dr Yule is the Police Force’s Senior Forensic Psychologist and manager of its Behavioural Science Team, attached to the Forensic Services Group.

“With the investigation focussing on a possible abduction, there was only a narrow window of opportunity to take William,” she said.

“In addition, the area where William vanished is on the edge of the township near a dead-end street.

“So if no-one but William’s parents and grandmother knew in advance of his visit to Kendall, then you would have to have some other reason to be there and take that opportunity; either visiting, residing or working in the vicinity.

The head of the investigation, Detective Inspector Gary Jubelin, added the kidnapper would have taken some tremendous risks.

“The kidnapping occurred on a Friday around 10.30am,” Detective Inspector Jubelin said.

“It was broad daylight and whoever abducted him risked being seen from the balcony of William’s grandmother’s home as well as neighbouring properties,” he said.

Detective Inspector Jubelin said the inclusion of a behavioural specialist on the strike force has been invaluable.

Dr Yule has almost 20 years’ experience working on major crime cases in New South Wales and has studied with FBI-trained experts and behavioural specialists from the United Kingdom and Europe.

“In cases like these we need to get into the headspace of the person who took William, why they did it, what makes them tick and that’s where Sarah comes in,” Detective Inspector Jubelin said.

“On this first anniversary of William’s disappearance, we would like to make another appeal for anyone with information about the case to contact us.

“We would particularly like to hear about anyone who has been quite deliberate in avoiding the publicity about William’s abduction or in contrast, anyone who has been uncharacteristically, overly interested in the case.”

Toddler William Tyrrell’s disappearance still haunts Kendall residents almost a year later

September 6, 2015

MARION Dalton regularly enjoys a midmorning coffee with her daughter while sitting on the veranda of her Benaroon Dr, Kendall, home — giving her a perfect view of the street where young William Tyrrell happily played.

Iona Bligh often jogs down that same stretch of bitumen and past the nondescript brick home owned by little William’s grandparents.

After a busy morning running her kids to school, Anne-Maree Sharpley was desperate for some quiet time and sat down with a book.

Lydene Heslop also had a hectic morning grocery shopping and was unloading bags from her car before taking them inside.

On that fateful morning of September 12 last year, chance and life conspired to ensure people who would normally have a bird’s-eye view as William and his sister played in the sunshine weren’t there.

Shortly after 10.30am, three-year-old William vanished.

It’s these sliding-doors ­moments that haunt the residents of semi-rural Kendall, who next week will mark a year since the much-loved ­little boy was abducted.

“My daughter lives around the corner and she comes around here and we sit on this veranda having a cup of coffee nearly every morning in the sunshine … that morning she phoned me and said she’d decided to go to my son’s place, so we weren’t out here, so we saw nothing,” Mrs Dalton said.

“That was the one day we weren’t sitting here. Of course it’s on our mind every day … of course it is. It’s changed the whole village.

“I’ve got grandchildren and I can’t allow them to go anywhere without me watching because you just don’t know what’s happened to William.”

The one question that plagues the residents of Kendall is: How did the culprit or culprits get away with it?

Almost tragically, they ­believe a cruel set of circumstances conspired to give someone the opportunity to snatch William without being seen by a single witness.

At 10.35am on September 12, a number of people could have been expected to be there to stop William being taken.

Except on that day, at that time, they weren’t.

Mother Anne-Maree Sharpley, who lives across the road from William’s grandmother’s house, was sitting ­inside reading a book before deciding to go outside her house to “get some sun”.

“I didn’t hear anything, so if the person who took him came down Benaroon Dr, they did it without panicking or driving fast or taking off like an idiot, because I would’ve heard.”

But by the time she did go outside, William had already been taken.

“I’d taken the kids to school and came home and cleaned up and sat down in the quiet with no TV and was just reading my book,” Ms Sharpley said.

“No cars, no cries, no nothing, it was just quiet.

“I’d actually just got a drink and was walking outside to sit in the sun and (William’s mother) was outside the gate.”

Judy Wilson, whose fence sits just 10m from where William was taken, heard him and his sister playing earlier that morning before she headed into town to run some errands.

When she returned, the street was in chaos.

“I wasn’t home and my husband wasn’t home. The only thing I was able to tell police was that I heard the children playing but didn’t see them … I just heard kids laughing and you could tell they were little children,” Mrs Wilson said.

“I don’t think it was an opportunistic grab from someone who just happened to be here ­because we don’t get strangers wandering around.”

Another Benaroon Dr resident, Lydene Heslop, who lives further down the street, had been grocery shopping and ­returned home minutes before William vanished.

She saw nothing out of the ordinary when she drove into the street and pulled into her driveway.

She said she was unloading groceries from her car when William was snatched sometime after 10.30am, just metres away from her home where her youngest child was inside.

She said at 11.30am there was a knock on the door and it was Anne-Maree from up the road and William’s mother.

“I didn’t hear anything, so if the person who took him came down Benaroon Dr, they did it without panicking or driving fast or taking off like an idiot, because I would’ve heard,” Ms Heslop said.

“That’s pretty good luck. Especially at 10.30am on a Friday when there should only be one kid on the street, which is mine.”

Another mum, Iona Bligh, who lives in the next town and drives her kids to Kendall’s school every day, regularly ran up Benaroon Dr as part of her daily exercise routine.

But on that day, she decided at the last minute she had enough time to drive to a popular mountain track in the township instead, before meeting friends for coffee at the local cafe.

“I’d drop my kids at school and run down Benaroon Dr. I was going to run it that morning before I met some girlfriends for coffee at Miss Nellie’s ... the only reason
I didn’t is because I dropped my son at school five minutes early,” Ms Bligh said.

“I kick myself every day.”

The mystery surrounding William’s abduction has not only baffled those closest to the scene, but also the state’s homicide squad, with its ­detectives revisiting the street just last month to go over the neighbours’ testimony once again.

Questions relating to any cars in the area dominated the conversations, as did questions around anyone seen ­visiting the street in the months before the ­abduction, including electricians, couriers and garbage collectors.

William’s grandmother has since moved out of the street, having sold the house to a mature couple just before William’s abduction.

While the town still waits for answers as to what happened to the little boy, parents and grandparents now fear leaving their children unsupervised for even a minute.

Caravan park searched in the hunt for missing toddler William Tyrrell

January 22, 2015

A fibro cabin in a caravan park on the NSW mid-north coast has been searched by police investigating the disappearance of toddler William Tyrell after residents reported hearing cries of a child in the weeks after the three-year-old vanished.

Police searched a cabin at The Haven caravan park at Laurieton, just south of Port Macquarie at the end of last week.

The cabin is one of many properties searched since the three-year-old disappeared from his grandmother's home in the neighbouring town of Kendall on September 12.

Revelations of the caravan park search come after homicide detectives raided a home at nearby Bonny Hills and a unit above a set of shops at neighbouring Laurieton on Tuesday, seizing a mattress and computer equipment.

The owner of the caravan park told Fairfax Media that a resident had called police after hearing a child crying in a cabin where a middle-aged couple from Victoria stayed from September 28 to October 9.

"They heard an infant crying and they thought it was coming from that cabin," the owner said.

"We don't have kids, [nor are there] many children in the park; they are all retired here, so it is an unusual sound," he said.

"Police came here. They wanted to have a look through even though I'd been through that cabin since. We went down because obviously there might have been a body in there or [the police] thought there could be."

The owner said he gave the address of the couple to police and "away they went".

An excavator was on Wednesday at the Bonny Hills house, where police were also emptying a septic tank as officers continued their search of the single-level house in Wandoo Place.

Homicide detectives have spent more than 24 hours searching the semi-rural property, where an elderly couple live.

A grease trap and septic service truck pulled up to the house about 8am on Wednesday.

Detectives were instructing a man and he was later seen putting a large hose into the ground near the front of the house.

Police are sifting through a mountain of bark a few metres from the septic tank as dogs on the property continue to howl.

Two officers were seen using rakes and picking up large clumps with their hands as plainclothes detectives watched.

Resident Dean Pollard said the couple are the guardians of at least three grandchildren.

He said at least 20 police officers and six cars were parked outside the home since 7am on Tuesday.

Next-door neighbour Hannah-Jayne, 18, said she was deeply disturbed that police were searching the couple's home in relation to the toddler's disappearance.

She told Fairfax Media she did not know the couple that well but said one of their grandchildren often played with her dog Wilfred.

"It's really scary," she said. "I hope they find him [William] soon, just hopefully not next door to my house."

Another neighbour said she had met the man and two of his grandsons for the first time at a street Christmas party last year.

It is believed the couple rent the property and moved in a few years ago, neighbours say.

The couple are believed to own a business at the nearby town of Laurieton that was raided on Tuesday.

Spider-Man suit

William vanished without a trace from his grandmother's home in Kendall, just south of Port Macquarie, on September 12.

He was wearing a Spider-Man suit and playing in the backyard with his sister when he disappeared, as their mother made a cup of tea.

A 10-kilometre search of the area surrounding the house failed to find any trace of William.

The search lasted weeks and involved the NSW Police, Rural Fire Service, the State Emergency service and more than 200 locals.

Investigators have searched every corner of the 21 houses in the bushland estate where William was last seen.

Commander of the mid north coast region Superintendent Paul Fehon said recently that police were looking at a number of scenarios.

Superintendent Fehon said that, if the little boy had some form of misadventure in nearby bushland, police would have found something by now.

"We are completely open to any possibility, including human intervention," he said in an interview with Fairfax Media.

"If that has occurred, somebody knows something."

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Tradesman's rural home becomes focus of search for missing boy

7 April 2015

Forensic teams searching for missing three-year-old William Tyrrell have searched the rural home of a tradesman who is understood to have given a quote at the boy's grandmother's house just days before he disappeared.

William vanished from his grandmother's house in Kendall, about 10 kilometres from Laurieton on the NSW mid-north coast, on September 12. He had been playing with his sister at the end of a cul-de-sac located near bushland.

On Wednesday detectives carried out a search at a rural property in Bonny Hills, 20 kilometres from Kendall.

The property is leased by 63-year-old William Harrie Spedding, a pawn shop owner and white goods repairman.

An excavator was called in and the property's septic tank was drained. Police seized a number of items from the home.

Mr Spedding is understood to have given a washing machine repair quote to William's grandmother four days before the boy disappeared.

William was not staying at the home at the time.

On Tuesday police executed a search warrant at a Laurieton pawn shop which is believed to be operated by Mr Spedding.

A small mattress and computer equipment were among the items seized

While police say they have spoken to a number of people about William's disappearance, no-one has been detained or charged.

It is understood an anonymous phone call helped lead them to the Bonny Hills property.

Mr Spedding had posted three messages about William's disappearance on his Facebook page.

On September 13, a day after the boy went missing, Mr Spedding shared a photo of William with the message: "Keep a lookout for him".

On September 30, he shared a photo with the message, "Still missing so everyone keep looking," while on December 2 he shared another photo, saying: "Don't give up looking".

Laurieton local Kerry Buttsworth owns a butchery across the road and said he saw one of Tuesday's searches unfold.

"We saw them taking a lot of gear out of the place. There was computers," he said.

"I believe there was a mattress taken out, and there was quite a few bags of stuff taken out. [It was] put in a police car and taken away."

A caravan in Laurieton was also inspected after reports an infant was heard crying there around the time William disappeared.

The ABC has been told a man and a woman from Victoria had hired the caravan and their details have been passed on to detectives.

Superintendent Paul Fehon from Port Macquarie police said the raids were not considered to be a major breakthrough.

"This is a line of enquiry that we are taking as part of the normal investigation phase for an investigation of this nature," he said.

"A number of items have been taken from both premises and they will be forensically examined as part of a normal police investigation.

"Investigators searched a number of premises in the Laurieton and surrounding areas [on Tuesday] as part of the ongoing investigation into the search for young William Tyrell.

"Forensic investigators will continue a search at one of those premises [on Wednesday]. Police will be continuing to follow up all aspects of investigations."

December 21, 2014

Homicide detectives have taken over the investigation into the disappearance of three-year-old NSW boy William Tyrell, heightening fears over his eventual fate.

William vanished from his grandparents' home in Kendall on the Mid North Coast on September 12.

However, homicide squad Detective Superintendent Michael Willing said there was no evidence yet to suggest the little boy was more likely to have been murdered, News Corp has reported.

"We want to do a thorough investigation to determine what’s happened to William and obviously we need to consider the worst case scenario," Det Supt Willing said.

"But we have no evidence to suggest any particular scenario at this stage."

William's disappearance galvanised the Kendall community, with volunteers turning up in droves to help police and emergency services in their hunt.

CCTV footage from local cameras has been examined and it has previously been reported that police checked in with all registered sex offenders living in the area, but no trace of William has yet been found.
