NSW Police say a bone fragment has been found during their search for missing toddler William Tyrrell, which will wrap up by the end of the week. A team of 30 have spent 4 weeks scouring bushland near the home of William’s foster grandmother in Kendall on NSW’s mid-north coast, where the 3yo was last seen in 2014. The bone fragment discovered yesterday is undergoing forensic testing. And new evidence found during the search will be presented to a coronial inquest into the toddler’s disappearance. NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said that he hoped the case could be solved before retiring at the end of January. As for William’s foster parents, they will appear in court this month after being charged with the assault of a child in their care (not William). His foster mother remains a person of interest in his disappearance.
