Police announce next steps in the investigation of missing three-year-old, William Tyrell.
The Acting Superintendent of the William Tyrell case, Tony Joice, has said all individuals in the town of Kendall, NSW, on the day William disappeared need to come forward to police.
“If you were in the Kendall area, we need to know what you were doing, who you were visiting, what car you were driving, what you were doing there,” Joice said.
“It’s about putting the pieces together.”
William was last seen at his grandma’s Kendall property on the 12th of September. He was playing ‘chasies’ with his sister at the time, and wearing a Spiderman costume . Since then, police, SES teams, lifesavers, and volunteers have all been involved in the rescue mission to find him.
“We’d like to think we’ll find him tomorrow, but we really don’t know at this stage,” Joice said.

The whole country is thinking of this little boy tonight.

Many Australians at risk of credit default
Over 2 million Australians using credit are at risk of credit default in the next year, potentially affecting their ability to take out a loan.
Credit default occurs when a payment of $150 or more is paid over 60 days overdue. Under a new comprehensive reporting scheme reports of any missed payments of more than 14 days will show on one’s credit history.
The data found 13 per cent of Australians may have trouble securing a loan due to their poor scores.
Violent passenger has forced plane to turn around.
Ethihad flight 470 to Brisbane was forced to return to Singapore yesterday after a male passenger allegedly ripped out his TV screen, and attacked passengers and crew. The man, said to be in his 30s, was restrained by seven men, one of whom was bitten on the arm during the struggle.
ABC News are reporting today that the man showed disturbing behaviour in the airport and should not have been permitted to board the plane.
First ever baby born after uterus transplant
In Sweden, a baby has been born to a 36 year old woman who had received a womb transplant from a 61 year old post-menupausal friend.
The new mother was part of a fertility project at the University of Gothenburg which is helping women born without uteruses or who have had them removed due to cancer to receive transplants from living donors. The women’s own embryos are transplanted via IVF.
The mother and child are both well and have returned home. Seven more women who have received transplants hope to fall pregnant soon.

IMHO, outstanding & respectful.
Very well done
Were that the bird illustrating the story were a dove. Were that it could conceivably be. I can only hope that the family can take some little comfort from knowing that thousands of Australians shed a tear over the last two days. And millions worldwide. And many of us promised to themselves to honour Alan by being a little kinder. And, because a dove just isn't an option at the moment, albeit promises of ongoing aid and kindness, we are supporting Australia's and the world's military efforts to rid the world of this menace - and rid Australia of IS supporters, however many or few there are. RIP sweet, sweet man.
I'm hoping not, but there is just something not adding up about Williams disappearance.
What do you mean exactly?
Yep, I've had a really bad feeling about this since Day 1. I hope to God I'm wrong.
Well, think about it. Sniffer dogs picked up NO trace of him. It's a quiet cul de sac, a car and a screaming 3yo would have been suspicious, or at least noticed by somebody. No one in the town saw nothing unusual. His 4yo sister was out playing with him but couldn't provide ANY info on what happened....
I hope I am wrong, and that there have just been too many cases of family involvement and cover ups of missing/murdered children. But, as I'm sure the police are, ALL avenues must be considered.
It's really important not to impugn a family without evidence. Remember the speculation about poor Jill Meagher's wonderful husband? There were posts all over the web fingering him. Don't finger this family without good reason please. Oh, and if you know something we don't, just go to the police. Don't speculate online.
