William Tyrrell - Nowhere Child

The Australian

William Tyrrell was a three year old boy who disappeared from the village of Kendall, on the mid-north-coast of New South Wales. Key facts were kept from the public, from day one. A lot of what was reported, especially early on, was false. In the new podcast, Nowhere Child, The Australian’s Caroline Overington delves into a case where notions of class and privilege; opportunity and poverty came crashing together, to create a nightmare for William Tyrrell. Music used in this podcast: Daniel Birch - Blue Lobster, Trees in the Wind, Marimba on the Loose Electric-tric - Sketch 9 Kai Engel - September, Smoldering Swelling - Night I

    Missing William Tyrrell
    William Tyrrell was a three-year-old boy who disappeared from the township of Kendall on the mid-north-coast of New South Wales on 12 September 2014. William was in foster care when he went missing: his foster Mum has said he was there one minute, and gone the next. No trace of him has ever been found. The five-year investigation has torn the NSW homicide squad apart, with allegations of misconduct, mistakes, and miscalculations. We chose the title Nowhere Child: Missing William Tyrrell carefully. William is missing. He's also missed.
