William Tyrrell search to begin in NSW bushland tomorrow
Updated 5 minutes ago
New South Wales Police will launch a large-scale forensic search tomorrow as part of ongoing investigations into the 2014 disappearance of William Tyrrell.
William, aged three at the time, was playing in the yard of his foster grandmother's home in Kendall on the NSW mid-north coast when he disappeared.
No trace of him has ever been found since.
The four-week search, which will be conducted in bushland around Kendall, was announced by police on Tuesday afternoon.
Search experts from the Public Order and Riot Squad are running the operation, which will be extensive.
Police said the initial search around the rural township of Kendall was focused only on finding William - not with a view that there was deliberate human intervention.
That initial search was conducted in nearby forests, creeks and paddocks but returned no clues.
Since William went missing, police have identified almost 700 persons of interest, conducted hundreds of interviews and gathered more than 4,000 pieces of evidence.
NSW Police announced an unprecedented $1 million reward for information leading to William's recovery on the second anniversary of his disappearance in 2016.
William's foster parents have always said they would never give up looking for him and still maintain hope he will one day be found.
More to come.
