About this episode

This episode explores the mysterious disappearance of three-year-old William Tyrrell from his foster home and the subsequent investigation's dark turns.

A three year old walked out of his foster home wearing a Spider Man suit and vanished forever. William Tyrrell disappeared from a foster home in Kendall, New South Wales, in September 2014. There were adults nearby, daylight conditions, and no signs of a struggle. Yet the child was never seen again. This episode breaks down the timeline, police decisions, foster care secrecy, bushland searches, coronial findings, and why the investigation took such a dark turn years later.
