William Tyrrell’s much-discussed,little-known foster mother is now well and truly in the spotlight over the disappearance of the little boy,who would have turned 12 this week.
Detectives believe William’s foster mother covered up the three-year-old’s death and dumped his body in bushland near the home of his foster grandmother.
