I hadn't seen this either NBY .If he was last seen on the Balcony of his Grandmother's Home , how come he wasn't seen going through the House to get outside. No mention of the age of his Sister who was with him and could have been a witness to his disappearance. I might be wrong but I think it might be a family thing.

Apparently his sister is younger than him so isn't likely to be much of a source of information.

Yes, it looks as if the solution to this one won't be far from home.

This report says his sister is four so I would have thought might have been able to give some information.

The search for missing three-year-old boy William Tyrell has been scaled back nine days after he disappeared from his grandmother's home on the NSW mid-north coast.

Emergency services told a community meeting on Sunday afternoon that the investigation would now focus on the many pieces of information received since his unexplained disappearance.

William was last seen about 10.30am on Friday, September 12, at his grandmother's home in Benaroon Drive, Kendall. He was wearing a Spider-Man costume and was playing with his sister when he vanished.

Police and volunteers, including personnel from the SES, RFS and Surf Lifesaving, have scoured an area covering almost 50 square kilometres during the past nine days, but have failed to find any trace of the boy.

Last week police said it was unlikely that William would be found alive and it was now a recovery operation.

Operation Commander Superintendent Paul Fehon paid tribute to the dedication and commitment shown by all those involved in the search and a letter of thanks from William's parents was read to those at the community meeting.

When did he go missing?

William disappeared from the balcony of his grandmother's home in Benaroon Drive, Kendall, at 10:30am on September 12. Police said he disappeared in a five-minute window while playing alongside his sister.
The house where William was last seen is directly across the road from the Kendall State Forest, about 35km south of Port Macquarie.
What does he look like?

William has dark hair and hazel eyes and was last seen wearing a Spider-Man costume.
What has the search entailed?

Police, SES volunteers and members of the public have searched an area of more than 50sq km, including bushland, dams and waterways.
Was he abducted?

Police are treating the investigation as a search for a missing child, but have not ruled out the possibility of abduction.
"Thank you does not seem like the right sort of word to express our gratitude and heartfelt warmth we feel towards each and every one of you," the letter said.

"We have been completely overwhelmed with the way the public, SES, Surf Life Saving, RFS and the police have rallied together to find our little Spider-Man William.

"You didn't know us and we didn't know you, but today we feel that we are a part of your extended community and we are warmed and comforted by the way you have shared our love for William."

The family said they hoped William would be able to fulfil his dream of becoming a firefighter.

"William is only three years and three months old and really still a baby, he has so many more years to live and we desperately want him home," the family said in the statement.

"William up until a month ago was obsessed with all things fire engine and would tell us his name was 'Firefighter William', a future he deserves to fulfil.

"We pray and hope that our 'Firefighter William' comes home soon."

On Saturday Superintendent Fehon again appealed to the public to let police know if they had any information about the boy's disappearance.

"There must be someone out there who knows something about William's unexplained disappearance," he said.

Police have said they cannot rule out the possibility the boy was abducted, and the ABC has been told police are also speaking with all known sex offenders in the region.

However, Supt Fehon said that police have no evidence to indicate this was the case either.

Police are urging anyone with information about William's disappearance to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page.
