Bombshell claims about the events leading to William Tyrrell’s disappearance have been uncovered by the missing boy’s grandmother.
Natalie Collins said William and one of his siblings were removed from childcare early as a ‘surprise’ on the morning of September 12, 2014 – the day he was abducted.
‘They were taken out of preschool early for a surprise visit,’ she toldnews.com.au.
William was taken to a home in Kendall from where he would later vanish, sparking one of the biggest manhunts in Australian history.

Ms Collins said William and another sibling were removed from childcare as a ‘surprise’ on the morning of September 12, 2014 – the day he was abducted
The then three-year-old was last seen wearing his Spider Man costume – an outfit which later became a symbol of his disappearance.
On Friday, Ms Collins revealed she ‘hated’ the outfit because William had been ‘bought better outfits’ by her son Brendan Collins, who is William’s biological father.
She went on to reveal Brendan and William shared a close bond, despite the child being removed from the father’s care.
She said: ‘The last time they saw him, William yelled ”daddy, daddy, daddy” and jumped out of the pram like a kangaroo. William loved his dad. There was a real bond.’

Ms Collins said her son Brendan Collins and William, his biological son, shared a close bond
Brendan, who Ms Collins said had developed a chronic drug addiction following Williams disappearance, was the subject of an arrest warrant on Tuesday after he failed to show up to court on theft charges.
But it can be revealed a different court had remanded him in custody for separate theft charges on the exact same day. Collins was using a different last name.
He pleaded guilty to larceny of less than $2,000 and possessing stolen goods and will soon be sentenced.
Collins had been living with his grandmother Moira in Sydney’s south-west.
‘Look at all the bikes around, I think some are stolen,’ she said.


Brendan Collins is pictured left. He had only recently been released from jail on drugs charges last year when he was revealed to be the missing toddler’s biological father. William’s biological mother Karlie (left and right) was also named for the first time last year as the toddler’s parents
She said police recently visited the family home recently to see Brendan.
The police investigation into William’s disappearance has ruled out the involvement of his biological parents, Brendan and Karlie Tyrrell.
His foster parents have asked not to be named to protect the identity of William’s siblings.
There is a $1 million reward for information leading to William’s discovery.
