William was wearing this Spiderman suit.

Police announce next steps in the investigation of missing three-year-old, William Tyrell.

The Acting Superintendent of the William Tyrell case, Tony Joice, has said all individuals in the town of Kendall, NSW, on the day William disappeared need to come forward to police.

“If you were in the Kendall area, we need to know what you were doing, who you were visiting, what car you were driving, what you were doing there,” Joice said.

“It’s about putting the pieces together.”

William was last seen at his grandma’s Kendall property  on the 12th of September. He was playing ‘chasies’ with his sister at the time, and wearing a Spiderman costume . Since then, police, SES teams, lifesavers, and volunteers have all been involved in the rescue mission to find him.

“We’d like to think we’ll find him tomorrow, but we really don’t know at this stage,” Joice said.
