About this listen
One minute, a little boy is playing outside his foster nana's house, the next minute, he's gone. How can a three-year-old child simply disappear?
On Friday, September 12, 2014, William Tyrrell—a playful three-year-old boy dressed in a fire-engine red Spider-Man suit—disappears from a quiet street in broad daylight. It's assumed he's lost in the nearby bushland, but despite an intensive search, he's not found, and police start to suspect he's been abducted. No trace of William—not a shoe, not a hair—has ever been found, but now is not the time to surrender. How can a little boy just vanish? We have to find him. From best-selling author and Walkley Award-winning journalist Caroline Overington, Missing William Tyrrell is a moving and compelling exploration of one of Australia's most baffling and heartbreaking mysteries.

It does my head in what happened to William .
Another good book from Caroline I expected more though she does have a healthy love for Gary Jubelin but which is nice I guess he did go too hard in this case thou. Some new stuff was shared with the reader but we still haven't got the full picture. One minute he was there and the next well he wasn't . Not really sure why she was so forthcoming about other people living in the community. There aren't a day or few days that go by and I don't think about what happened to little William somehow I can help but think the people close to him the people that know what happened will never unleash the real truth .

A moving story of a little boy lost.
An in-depth look at the William Tyrell case. Sensitively written. The narration is great. A moving story.

Loved the way this was told. So thorough and respectful to William's families. Many tears were shed while listening to this. Heartbreaking :(

Gripping
Everyone knows the story of William Tyrrell, but they don’t know the full picture. This had me listening at every available moment wanting know more, needing to know what or who had hurt this little boy. Australia will always be looking out for William. This book will ensure people know and will always be looking out for this little boy with the big smile

A bit too superficial
I had to edit my initial review because it was too critical. I initially rated the book through my eyes as a former police officer and criminal barrister. I probably expected too much from this book. I think that the author did a great job of outlining the background of the Tyrrell case, eg explaining the complex family relationships at play. However, my greatest criticism of the book was the glossing over of the deplorable handling of the case by police. The Tyrrell case should be a lesson for future detectives on how NOT to investigate a child's disappearance ie initial destruction of crime scene, extreme tunnel vision, wrong assumptions, poor checking of witness statements, evidence etc. The list of investigative failures by police was seemingly endless. The author should have paid more attention to this and probed deeper into it. There were at least a dozen questions that came out of the Tyrrell investigation that should have been covered by the author. I hope that when I read the transcripts of the coroner's inquest, these questions have been addressed.
