POLICE in Australia will cut down trees in a fresh search for the missing boy dubbed ‘Australia’s Madeleine McCann’ as ‘new information’ has come to light.
William Tyrrell was just three years old when he vanished from his foster grandparents’ garden in 2014 in one of Australia’s most high-profile missing child cases.
His disappearance sparked a frantic search but no trace of the boy has ever been found.
Now investigators are “hopeful” of finding physical evidence in a new search they will conduct starting on Monday morning, reported the Sydney Morning Herald.
The NSW Police Force said in a statement that more details will be given during a press conference at 10.30am AEDT.
According to the outlet new information has led to the new search on Benaroon Drive .
It comes as back in September cops revealed they had a new suspect in the boy’s mysterious case.
Detective Chief Inspector David Laidlaw, had said that further information had come to light after a review of materials gathered by investigators since William’s disappearance seven years ago.
“As our team continue to conduct inquiries and explore all avenues of investigation, our focus has been identifying if anything has been missed, or if there are any details – no matter how small – that need to be clarified.
“Police remain committed to finding out what happened to William, but our most important job here is to bring him home for both families,” he said.
William who was just three years old was playing with his sister in his foster grandparents’ garden when he vanished on September 12, 2014.
He was in the care of foster parents and had been on a visit to the coastal town of Kendall, New South Wales (NSW) on the day he disappeared.
His parents had gone inside to make a cup of tea while William and his sister played hide and seek outside.
When they returned five minutes later the toddler had vanished.
A police investigation into William’s disappearance at the time flagged two suspicious cars seen parked on the street earlier that day.
At the time, William’s biological parents remained unaware for hours as their son was reported missing and a dramatic search for the three-year-old began.
After being told by cops his son was missing, the father, 33, said: “He’s f***ing what?”
The birth father told the inquest he blamed welfare authorities for his disappearance, saying: “They f***ed up.”
He added: “The minister has a duty of care to keep him safe until 18.”
No trace of William has ever been found or no person has ever been charged.
A $1 million reward for information about the missing boy remains in place since September 2016.
William’s disappearance has been compared with the mystery of Madeleine McCann, who vanished from her parents’ holiday apartment in Portugal in 2007, aged three.
