Nowhere Child

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. Music used in this podcast: Daniel Birch – Blue Lobster, Trees in the Wind, Marimba on the Loose Electric-tric – Sketch 9 Kai Engel – September, Smoldering Swelling – Night I It’s been five months since the Nowhere Child podcast finished, the former detective Gary Jubelin has been on trial in Sydney, we won’t know the outcome until the magistrate comes back in April. The inquest into William’s disappearance is ongoing, with hearings due to resume in March with a result probable in the middle of the year. In the meantime Caroline Overington has finished a book on William’s disappearance. Here she reads the first chapter to give a sense of the book and a later chapter to give you an idea of the kinds of things police did to try and find him.
