William Tyrrell’s foster mum may be charged over his disappearance

Missing boy William Tyrrell’s foster mother may be charged in his death, it may be revealed.

Nine News reported that the 58-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has been at the center of an intensive investigation over the past year.

Police believe they have enough evidence to charge the foster mother with perverting the course of justice and disturbing a corpse and have prepared an exhibit for the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions.

Dressed in a Spider-Man outfit, the three-year-old disappeared shortly before 10:30 a.m. on September 12, 2014 while playing in the garden of his foster grandmother’s home in the small town of Kendall in the middle of NSW’s north coast.

Within hours, hundreds of local residents and emergency responders banded together to search the rural community, in brush, creeks and meadows to William. But no trace of him has ever been found.

The investigation was previously stalled when the findings of a corona investigation that ran from March 2019 to October 2020 were blocked by the police.

Detectives cited “new evidence” that spotlighted William’s foster mother as the reason behind the delay, but remained silent on what led investigators to redefine the woman as a suspect.

William’s foster mother and father have always denied knowing anything about what happened to the little boy.

The threatening indictment comes just one day after what would have been his 12th birthday.

On Monday, NSW Police wrote in a statement on William’s birthday, June 26, that the “determination of the strike force detectives has never wavered as they continue to scrupulously investigate and exhaust every line of investigation.”

“As another William Tyrrell birthday comes and goes – on what should be a happy occasion – NSW Police continue to actively and vigorously seek answers to his disappearance,” the statement continued.

The investigation into the baffling missing person remains Australia’s most high-profile cold cases.

It was revealed late last year that the NSW Crime Commission grilled William Tyrrell’s foster mother, accusing her of hiding the toddler’s body after the boy fell off the porch of the Kendall home.

Extraordinary details emerged in a Sydney court of how NSW Crime Commissioner Michael Barnes and counsel assisting Sophie Callan put pressure on the then 58-year-old during closed-door hearings last November.

The grilling was detailed at a NSW Local Court hearing into allegations that the foster mother had lied to the NSW Crime Commission, which were later dismissed by a magistrate.

The foster mother had appeared in court to challenge a charge that she had provided false or misleading evidence to the Crime Commission – with a senior detective telling the court he believed the foster mother ‘knows where William Tyrrell is’.

The court heard police tell the foster mother ‘we know why, we know how’ William disappeared and his body was disposed of.

In fiery evidence presented to the Crime Commission and played in court at the Downing Center, the foster mother repeatedly denied the allegations about William.

She challenged researchers to excavate the area where they believed the three-year-old’s remains were buried.
