It has been 10 years to the day since three-year-old William Tyrrell disappeared from his foster grandmother's home in Kendall.
Three-year-old William was playing with his sister on the balcony of the home on Benaroon Drive on the morning of September 12, 2014, when he vanished.
It was in a short time his foster mother went inside to make a cup of tea, according to evidence provided in the coronial inquest, that William disappeared.
He was wearing a red Spiderman suit and had been playing "tigers", the coronial inquest was told in 2021.
He has not been seen since, nor has any definitive evidence to determine what happened.
Strike Force Rosann detectives have been working under the premise that his disappearance was a result of human intervention.
For 10 years, a mountain of growing evidence has been gathered. Speculation, rumours and distractions have also plagued the investigation.
Kendall resident Jenelle Nosworthy told the Port News during the search in 2021 that after years of not knowing, there is hope that William's case will be solved.
"It wasn't something that happened in Kendall, it happened to Kendall. Even if the resolution is a sad one, I hope that there is closure for everyone," she said.
"We're all hoping it will be solved."
Search for answers continues
Strike Force Rosann detectives returned to Kendall in June 2018 for a forensic search of bushland.
Hundreds of NSW police officers also descended on Kendall in November 2021 for a series of "high intensity" searches following the revelation there was new evidence in the investigation.
The search lasted four weeks and unearthed several items that were sent to be forensically examined.
There have never been any charges laid in relation to William's disappearance. A $1 million reward for information remains.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
