William Tyrrell mystery no closer to being solved on his 10th birthday
William Tyrrell, the boy in the Spider-Man suit, is still missing on his 10th birthday.
What happened to William remains a mystery, but he is believed dead after a likely abduction from his grandmother's home in Kendall, NSW, in September 2014.
William's foster grandmother died in March, never having found out what happened to her grandson.

She was the last person to see the then three-year-old alive.
The day William vanished, he was wearing a Spider-Man suit and playing at his grandmother's house with his sister.
Hundreds of local residents and emergency service workers searched the rural township, looking in forests, creeks and paddocks.
Several persons of interest emerged, with theories he could have been snatched by a pedophile, but the leads went nowhere.

In September 2016, the NSW Government announced a $1 million reward for information that leads to the recovery of William, which remains on offer.
Since then, detectives have conducted extensive investigations, including several coordinated searches of bushland near Herons Creek and Kendall, but no cold case busting evidence was found.
In March 2019, a coronial inquest was launched into William's disappearance.
Yet more than two years later, the inquest continues to drag on.
Homicide Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty remains hopeful someone with information will come forward.
