State authorities investigating the disappearance of William Tyrrell have called on the public to “help us out” before the case goes cold.

William was three when he went missing from Kendall, NSW, in September 2014.

An inquest into his disappearance has been running almost two years and will resume in Oct­ober. In announcing the new dates, Robert Craddock, counsel assisting the NSW coroner, said some members of the public were still withholding information about what happened to William.

“There is no doubt there are people out there who have not passed on information they have,” Mr Craddock said

“We remain open to information coming from members of the public. Hopefully people will reconsider decisions about withholding information, call the police and help us out.”

William was a foster child visit­ing his foster mother’s mother at 48 Benaroon Drive in Kendall when he disappeared.

If alive, he would now be nine, a completely different boy to the one who disappeared while wearing a Spider-Man suit.

The inquest has to date taken evidence from William’s foster parents, his biological parents, neighbours and sex offenders who live in the area.

Former lead investigator Gary Jubelin was removed from the case last year, and has since been convicted of misconduct.

He told a Sydney court in February that he had used his own mobile phone to record conver­sations with a so-called “person of interest” in the case because police equipment so often failed.
