NSW Police to determine whether Tyrrell investigation will continue | sallyrawsthorne
Detectives will announce whether the William Tyrrell investigation will be “taken further” at the end of the current search in Kendall, Police Minister David Elliott says.
Specific new information led Strike Force Rosann officers back on the mid-north coast town this week, where officers searched a five-metre square patch of bushland a kilometre from where William disappeared.“Police have obviously established a [strike] force... we expect that [search] will go over at least two weeks. When that is completed, the police will be making an appropriate announcement,” Mr Elliott said on Thursday.
In a major shift in the investigation, police are now focusing on William’s foster-mother as a person of interest in the baffling disappearance of a three-year-old boy playing at his foster grandmother’s house in September 2014. Investigators are working on the theory that William may have fallen to his death from a second-storey balcony, and have undertaken an intensive forensic search at the Benaroon Drive address.
About 100 police and specialist technicians have been digging up the garden and sifting through its soil at the home. Luminol testing, which reveals blood spatter, did not yield any results.Credit:Next week, police will begin searching the area between the home and the nearby patch of bush for any forensic evidence that has been missed.
