Earlier this year, William Tyrrell’s foster mother was charged with supplying false information to the New South Wales Crime Commission. The hearing has just taken place and Lia was there.

In this episode, criminologist Dr Xanthe Mallett joins Lia to talk about what happened and how, while the charge itself was not relevant to William’s case, it did involve the investigation into his disappearance.

At the time of our previous episode, two months ago, police were undertaking an extensive, and very public, search of a number of areas in and near William's foster grandmother's house in Kendall, NSW. The search concluded after four weeks without any substantial findings, once again leaving two families still desperate for answers.

So what happens now?

With Lia once again is criminologist Dr Xanthe Mallet to talk about the current state of the investigation, and what the next steps might be. 

Also joining in the discussion is media and defamation law specialist Professor David Rolph from the University of Sydney Law School.

Lia discusses all of this and what it means for the future with criminologist and forensic scientist Dr Xanthe Mallett.

The second part of the inquest has been cut short due to the global Coronavirus pandemic, leaving William's loved ones again no closer to knowing what happened that morning in 2014.
