Missing William Tyrell
Synopsis
On Friday 12 September 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.
I invite you to try my book – ‘Searching for Spiderman’. It includes the most recent developments in the investigation and the inquest, which have changed everything considerably since Overington’s book was written. I met up with Caroline a few times over the past year and we discussed how I wanted to write William’s story in a literary style. For me, as a local, it has been a very personal journey. Far too much journalese has been written about this little boy already. Find the book on Goodreads. The print version will be released in July. The E-book is available now through Booktopia, Amazon and The Book Depository. I’d be happy to answer any questions and accept critiques from readers interested in William’s case. Best wishes, Ally.
