Boy in Spiderman costume vanished after mum left him in garden for 5 minutes

The little boy in a spiderman costume vanished in broad daylight, while out playing hide-and-seek in the safety of his grandmother’s garden.

William was living with his foster parents when, on September 11, 2014, they took him and his five-year-old sister for the three hour drive to visit his foster grandmother at her house on the edge of a forest in Kendall, on New South Wales’ north coast. The women, along with neighbours and his father, began frantically searching the property and nearby roads, before calling police who continued looking for William with a team of over 200 volunteers.

Investigators eventually decided that the only way William could have disappeared without a trace in a matter of minutes was if he had been abducted and driven away by someone. At 9am on the day of the disappearance a dark green or grey sedan car drove past the driveway where William and his sister were riding their bikes, before performing a U-turn in a neighbour’s driveway and drove away.

On the first day of the inquest on Monday, William’s foster mother broke down as she described the two strange cars parked opposite her mother’s home, later fearing they had been there to abduct William and his older sister.She said: “I know in hindsight that they weren’t there.Police also believe two persons of interest in the case, both convicted paedophiles, may have met up on the day William vanished.

But despite putting up a one million dollar reward for information, police were never able to find enough evidence to take their suspicions further, or provide answers for William’s family.
