He is nicknamed the “Australian Madeleine McCann”. William Tyrrell, 3, disappeared on September 12, 2014 while playing in his grandmother’s garden in a Spider-Man costume. Back to this mysterious case.
It is in Kendall, in the Australian region of New South Wales, that the case takes root. On September 12, 2014, the day after he arrived at his grandmother’s house, 3-year-old William Tyrrell puts on his Spider-Man costume and goes out to play in the garden with his 5-year-old older sister. The two toddlers play hide and seek and “tigers”. Their roars echo into the house, where his adoptive mother has just returned to pour herself a cup of tea. But suddenly, the roars stop. Little William has disappeared behind the house and will never appear again.
At 10:56 a.m., William’s adoptive mother reports him missing. Hundreds of police officers, members of the State Emergency Service and the community are busy searching, but the little spider-man has vanished. Five days after the disappearance, the door-to-door and the hunts are interrupted. One element, however, puts the police on a first track. In her testimony, William’s adoptive mother says she saw two cars parked not far from the house when her son disappeared. The vehicles, considered suspicious by the whole neighborhood, disappeared shortly after.
Seven years of mystery
At first, the investigators favor the track of the kidnapping in the possible context of a pedophile network. Indeed, according to a survey conducted for the program A Current Affair, about 20 sexual predators lived in the vicinity of Kendall at the time of William’s disappearance. The attention of the police is focused in particular on two sex offenders, who would have spent part of the day of September 12 together. One of the two, already convicted 90 times, will explain having visited his friend at the start of the day before returning home, drunk. The police will discover that the two men were driving vehicles corresponding to the description given by William’s mother. However, they were never worried.
Despite some 1,000 reports recorded over the past eight years, little William Tyrrell remains, even today, untraceable. On Nov. 15, 2021, near a creek in Kendall, police found pieces of faded blue, red, and black fabric that may match Spider-Man’s costume. which he was wearing at the time of his disappearance. This discovery prompted further research, during which Strike Force Rosann detectives stated “search for the remains of the little boy”. Particularly sinister words, which today leave little hope of finding little Spider-Man alive…
