William Tyrrell probe 'very much ongoing'
The state's homicide squad is still throwing everything it has at finding missing NSW boy William Tyrrell, who vanished eight years ago today.
William, 3, was last seen at his foster grandmother's house in Kendall, on the mid-north coast, on September 12, 2014.
Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty, who heads the homicide squad, said the investigation under Strike Force Rosann was "very much active and ongoing".
"… and while I won't go into specifics, I can assure the community that various activities, including those under coronial orders, are being undertaken every day," he said.
"We are working with a large volume of information, and it is necessary to methodically explore and exhaust every line of inquiry — and that is a protracted process.
"This is all for William, and if it takes time and effort to get it right, it's worth it."
A $1 million reward for information regarding William's disappearance remains on offer.
Inquest into missing fraudster due to start today
A two-week inquest into the death of missing Sydney fraudster Melissa Caddick is expected to hear evidence about her mental health.
The inquest, due to start today, comes after the 49-year-old's decomposing foot washed up on a southern NSW beach in February 2021.
In November 2020 the investment broker went missing from her eastern-suburbs home in Dover Heights, just hours after it was raided by police.
Corporate watchdog ASIC has accused Ms Caddick of misappropriating $23 million of investor funds, including from her friends and family.
Her parents and husband are expected to give evidence at the inquest.
Police believe Ms Caddick is dead.
Sydneysiders turn out to 'celebrate the new King'
Thousands of Sydneysiders crowded outside NSW Parliament house yesterday to witness the state's proclamation of Charles III as Australia's new King.
The half-hour ceremony included a 21-gun salute and the NSW Police band playing God Save the King.
It followed an earlier proclamation by NSW Governor Margaret Beazley after an executive meeting with the state government.
Members of the public told the ABC they were excited to be taking part in the historic occasion.
"To celebrate the new King, and to celebrate the Queen and her life and her commitment to us as a nation, was very cool to be part of," one woman said.
"It's an opportunity to have a new relationship and start a new bond and move together as two different countries."
Another woman said she had faith in the new King.
"I'm sure he'll do a wonderful job, he's always loved Australia and I'm sure he'll do a wonderful job."
A man said he believed Australia's relationship with the monarchy would remain strong.
"He (King Charles III) has an impactful personality and definitely will have an impact," he said.

Burst water main causes outages in lower north shore
Some businesses in Sydney's lower north shore were forced to close yesterday after they were left with no water, or reduced pressure, when a water main burst.
The incident on the corner of Mowbray and Epping Roads, Lane Cove, impacted supply in the suburbs of North Ryde, Chatswood, Artarmon, Wollstonecraft, Cremorne, Neutral Bay and Waverton.
On Sunday night a water tanker was deployed to the area to help those affected, with reports other tankers were also sent out.
A cafe worker in Lane Cove said they had to cut back what was on offer.
"My boss brought a lot of water from her home, a lot of buckets. We did just the coffee because it doesn't need a lot of water," the staff member said.
Locals told the ABC they had been without water since Saturday but had little information about what was going on.
"I've been out for a day, since last night (Saturday). My work also has no water as well," Jack O'Dwier said.
Naya Cook said people were confused.
"I feel like a lot of people are really in the dark … it's obvious that they're not really being told what's going on and they just want know what's happening and when it will be fixed," she said.
In a statement, Sydney Water apologised for the inconvenience, saying its crews were working hard to "safely restore supply and restore normal water pressure".
