SPEAKING of solidarity and the paralysing pain William Tyrrell’s family must be feeling, it was her own nine-month-old daughter that pushed Noble Park resident Emily Antic to Walk 4 William.
Taking a two-kilometre walk on Saturday 12 September – the one-year anniversary of William’s disappearance – with 40 others, Ms Antic said she felt great after the experience.
“I felt like it had spread the word and like my efforts had made a difference,” she said.
Walking around Wachter Reserve in Keysborough, Ms Antic that said since the Australia-wide Walk 4 William police had taken more than 300 new reports and sightings of what could have been William.
“Maybe some people had information but didn’t think it was important enough to report and the walks have spread the message,” she said.
Ms Antic had the walking group write messages in a book which will be sent to the Tyrrell family.
“He was only three years old and the thought of missing my child even for 10 minutes is paralysing for me yet alone a year,” she said.
William was taken from his grandmother’s NSW home on a Friday, about 10.30am, in broad daylight.
Anyone with information, no matter how insignificant, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
