Gary Jubelin, the former detective who ran the William Tyrrell investigation, has revealed why he has no regret and how he uses his instincts to corner a suspect.

The former NSW homicide detective revealed how he gets a suspect to open up in the interview room.

“It is about communication, watching for cues and how they relay their answers … their body language,” he told the Seven Network’s Daily Edition today.

“If’ you’ve got genuine empathy and understand the person you’re talking to it opens a whole range of doors.

“You’ve got to be invested in it.”

After leaving the force, Jubelin is giving the public a behind-the-scenes look at how he put so many killers away during his career through his new podcast called I Catch Killers.

Jubelin said he relies on intuition and having an open mind.

“We look at the facts … over 25 years of investigating, we’ve got to keep an open mind as jobs take twists and turns you don’t expect,” he said.

He said it was “extremely frustrating” to no longer be involved in the Tyrrell case.

“I led the investigation for four months. I took it over five months after he disappeared,” he said.

In his own words: Jubelin on ‘stunning’ Tyrrell case conviction

“It has been taken away from me. It does hurt.”

Jubelin reiterated the same sentiment to talkback radio host Ben Fordham on 2GB yesterday when asked how he felt knowing the suspect in the Tyrrell case was still on the streets.

“It doesn't sit well with me,” he said.

“I made a commitment I’d do everything possible to find out what happened to William.

“I hope they commit to it and find a result for the family.”

When asked if he “wore his heart on his sleeve”, Jubelin told Fordham: “I make no apology for that.”

Jubelin also said he thinks about Willam every day.

“I don’t say that in a negative or obsessive way,” he said.

“The angelic photograph of William in his Spider-Man suit ... everyone could relate to it and that's why people want answers.

“Let’s go as hard as we can to find out what happened with William.”

Jubelin was convicted and fined $10,000 for illegally recording conversations with a person of interest in the Tyrrell investigation.

The 57-year-old was convicted on four counts of breaching the Surveillance Devices Act and fined $2500 for each offence.

He was found guilty of using a phone to record conversations with pensioner Paul Savage without his knowledge in 2017 and 2018.

Savage, 74, lived across the road from where William vanished while playing in his foster grandmother’s backyard in Kendall, a small town on the Mid North Coast, in September, 2014.

Savage had denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged in connection to William’s disappearance.

While Jubelin was removed from the team investigating the case and retired from the force, he has lodged an appeal.
