Strike Force Rosann, set up to investigate his disappearance, now suspects the boy fell from the balcony and died in a tragic accident,The detectives leading Rosann also suspect William’s foster mother, who cannot be identified, covered up the boy’s death and dumped his body in bushland near the home.
The foster mother has never been charged for William’s death and there is no suggestion of her guilt.she had not been advised that police had recommended charges. She will write to police on Wednesday seeking confirmation.The DPP will be asked to decide whether detectives have unearthed sufficient evidence to justify charging the foster mother.
