NSW Police are using a replica Spider-Man suit, similar to what William Tyrrell was last seen wearing, as part of their renewed search for the missing three-year-old.
Thursday marks the fourth day of the fresh efforts to find William, who vanished from the garden of his foster grandmother’s Kendall home on the NSW mid-north coast on September 12, 2014.
During their search on Wednesday afternoon, there was a moment of excitement as detectives thought they had found something.
The piece of potential evidence was intensely scrutinised by police, and was compared to a sample of a Spider-Man suit.
The find turned out to be nothing, however other evidence found in the bushland site was taken away in evidence bags for examination.
The last known photo of young William showed him wearing the Spider-Man outfit on the day he disappeared.
The Daily Telegraph reports detectives are now probing the tragic image against the foster mum’s story.
On the day William went missing, she allegedly told police the boy was wearing shoes because of bindis in the garden.
But in the Spider-Man photo, William is clearly barefoot.
There’s no suggestion the foster mum is involved in the disappearance, only police are investigating.
Garden search
Diggers continued to search the garden of the home in Kendall where William’s foster grandmother lived and where he was staying when he vanished.
Earlier on Wednesday, NSW Police revealed they’d seized a car that once belonged to her.
The grey Mazda was seized from a home in Gymea in Sydney’s south under a coronial order last week, police said on Wednesday.
It’s undergoing extensive forensic examination, which could take weeks.
“The NSW Police will not stop until such time as we’ve investigated every possible lead,” NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Malcolm Lanyon told reporters on Wednesday.
He vowed to “leave no stone unturned” and praised investigators’ “dogged determination” as they continued the search in Kendall, which could take weeks.
Some 30 to 40 people are helping with the search in Kendall, including officers from the NSW Police and the Australian Federal Police, as well as Rural Fire Service volunteers.
Police on Wednesday turned their attention to an area of bushland about a kilometre from the house where William was last seen.
A mechanical digger was used to remove the topsoil, and officers were using ground-penetrating radar and 3D cameras to analyse the ground.
An expert hydrologist and archaeologist are also offering assistance on site.
The findings of a coronial inquest into William’s disappearance, which concluded last year, are yet to be handed down.
A $1 million reward for information on the case still stands.
