Our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to the men, women and children of Kendall
Amid the first days of the Coronial Inquest the grief from everyone in the courtroom was palpable. As we began to hear the words of those first on the scene on that tragic day and in the days that followed, a light filtered through the darkness we all felt – it came from the hearts of the people of the small community of Kendall.
“Men, women, children, neighbours, strangers, police, off-duty police and their children rushed to help search for William as a little girl being pushed in her stroller by her mother, called out his name. As the minutes and hours ticked by and as word that a child was missing spread, one-by-one they came in whatever clothes they were wearing to comb the streets, drains and rugged, lantana-dense bush surrounding Benaroon Drive.”
“They came in the dozens, then the hundreds joining Police, Firies, SES and Surf-Lifesavers to search for William. Again and again they walked, eyes down, conducting line searches back and forth, shoulder-to-shoulder along the streets and through the scrub meticulously looking for any signs of William in his Spider Man suit while the people of Kendall continued to do whatever they could to help. Some searched from daylight ‘til dark for days on end. Some donated food. Others cooked and prepared meals to feed the hundreds of searchers who’d come from far and wide – all with a single purpose at heart, to help find little William and bring him home.”
“The care and support of the people of Kendall will stay with us always. Our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to you all.” William’s Mum and Dad

The Inquest – the next phase in the search for William
“Not a day goes by that William is not in our hearts and in our thoughts – the grief is overwhelming. On Monday 25 March 2019 we will mark 1655 tragic days since our beautiful little boy went missing, and with it comes renewed hope that the Coronial Inquest into William’s abduction will enable Strike Force Rosann to test the information and evidence they’ve painstakingly gathered to help further their investigation to find out what has happened to our precious little boy.”
“As we embark on this next phase of our search for William, we offer our deepest gratitude to the many who have supported us over the past 4 years, 6 months and 13 days. To those who combed bushland from daylight ‘til dark; the media for keeping William’s disappearance in the public eye; the Where’s William? Volunteers who helped spread the word that William is still missing; the thousands of people who walked and those who shared William’s image across the nation and around the globe; the 105,000 followers of William’s Facebook page who keep our message in the hearts and minds of all Australians; Crime Stoppers NSW and the NSW Police for their undying commitment; but above all, Detective Chief Inspector Gary Jubelin and Strike Force Rosann whose dedication to the search for William is unparalleled – Our heartfelt thanks to you all.” William’s Mum and Dad

Happy 7th Birthday William
Today is William’s 7th Birthday. If he were home, he would be opening his presents and running through the house laughing and playing with his new toys. If William were home, we’d be taking him to school with chocolate crackles to share with his friends. If William were home, after school there would be lots of play and then we’d have his special Birthday dinner with all his favourite foods. There would be the birthday cake he would have chosen and, as he’s blowing out his candles he’d make his birthday wish while we’re singing “Happy Birthday Dear William.” But sadly, William is not at home. Today marks another heartbreaking year, and another Birthday without him. It’s been 1384 days since we last saw William and for every single one of those days our thoughts have been of William – hoping he is being loved, hoping he is being cared for, and hoping that soon William will be found. There is a $1Million reward for information that leads Police to William. That’s 1 Million reasons to call Crime Stoppers NOW on 1800 333 000 before police call on you!
