Police launch fresh search for William Tyrrell

The search for William Tyrrell will begin again today in Kendell on the NSW mid north-coast, the place where the boy in the Spiderman suit went missing from his foster grandmother’s front yard.

Police announced the new operation yesterday, with the extensive, large-scale four-week search starting today of the Kendell bushland.

William, then aged just three, vanished on September 12, 2014. He has not been seen since.

An extensive search at the time involving hundreds of locals and emergency services workers spent 10 days looking for him, believing he was lost.

The ABC understands that police are not expecting a major breakthrough or a body.

"The initial search, while extensive, was focused only on finding William — a little boy who was lost — and not with a view of deliberate human intervention," police said in a statement.

On the second anniversary of William’s disappearance in 2016, the NSW government announced a record $1 million reward for information leading to his recovery.
