Summary

On September 12th, 2014, 3 year old William Tyrrell was in his Spider-Man costume playing in his foster grandmother’s yard in Kendall, NSW, Australia. He disappeared that morning and despite intense searches, has never been found. In 2021, a renewed search for William began, and police are still determined to find the young boy. Was he abducted by an opportunistic stranger, or was there an accident that was covered up? We don’t know, but one day, there may be answers.

Police are urging anyone with information about the disappearance of William Tyrrell to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au/

You can leave both a rating and review on Apple and then if you're listening on Spotify you can leave a rating and I believe some of the other platforms you listen on you can leave ratings as well.

But it just helps us grow and reach more people when people leave ratings and reviews. I know like I'm not the type of person to normally leave reviews but I try to now because I understand how important it is.
