William Tyrrell disappeared from outside a house near the state forest. How can we be sure that he didn't get lost, and that he's simply not found? In this week's episode, we examine the extensive land and water search for William; the failure of search teams to find a single trace of him; and the dawning realization that he may have been taken. 
 

William Tyrrell was a three year old boy who disappeared from the village of Kendall, on the mid-north-coast of New South Wales.

Key facts were kept from the public, from day one. A lot of what was reported, especially early on, was false.

In the new podcast, Nowhere Child, The Australian’s Caroline Overington delves into a case where notions of class and privilege; opportunity and poverty came crashing together, to create a nightmare for William Tyrrell.
