“We’ve been here two years and this is probably the tenth time they’ve been here,” he said, adding this was the biggest of the searches so far.
On Tuesday morning, Police Commissioner Mick Fuller confirmed the homicide investigation was focused on one person.
William Tyrrell remains missing.
“It’s not a cold case. It’s been an active investigation…. they inherited what was a bit of a mess and they’ve really cleaned [it] up,” Commissioner Fuller told Ben Fordham of radio station 2GB on Tuesday.
The Herald reported on Monday that NSW Police sought an apprehended violence order (AVO) against the foster parents of William on behalf of a child linked to the missing boy as police began their new search sparked by fresh information.
Police will allege in court that the child, who the Herald is prohibited from identifying, has bruising.
The couple will appear in Hornsby Local Court next week.
In September, William’s foster parents slammed a report in a Sydney newspaper that claimed investigators were focused on a new person of interest.
“Once again we are forced to watch others objectify William for personal gain … we’ve watched people lose sight of the tragic reality that William was a precious, innocent little boy who was taken from those he loved and who love him deeply,” they wrote in a Facebook post.
“To publish unverified claims, without consideration to the hurt that articles of this nature cause is disrespectful and devastating.”
Police are searching for William’s remains, State Crime Command Director Detective Chief Superintendent Darren Bennett confirmed on Monday.
