Fresh search in Tyrrell investigation
Police have conducted a fresh search on the NSW mid-north coast as part of ongoing investigations into the disappearance of young William Tyrrell.
Officers on Monday searched in the vicinity of Herons Creek, just minutes' drive away from the town of Kendall, where three-year-old William vanished from his foster grandparents' home in 2014.
Police are understood to be conducting further searches under a coronial order, amid an ongoing inquest.
Footage from the scene of Monday's search showed police and volunteers conducting line searches through long grass with the help of a dog.
An inquest into William's disappearance is expected to resume in October after COVID-19 prompted its adjournment in March.
Counsel assisting the coroner, Gerard Craddock SC, told a hearing earlier this month that there were people with information about the boy's disappearance and suspected death who should contact police.
