Poor little boy has been murdered and somebody keeps throwing the police information. Seems weird that they don't just go to the police and help them . They obviously don't want to be involved, why?

The Homicide Squad are searching dense bushland for the body of three-year-old William Tyrell who disappeared on the New South Wales mid-north coast five months ago.
The boy was last seen playing in his grandmother's backyard at Kendall in September last year.
A large search failed to find any trace of the boy, who was wearing a Spider-Man suit when he disappeared, and it is now thought he did not wander off and get lost, but was taken.
Police operating on a tip-off are searching for a grave about 20 kilometres from where William was last seen.
The search will be conducted in an area around Houston Mitchell Drive and Long Point Road in Bonny Hills over a number of days.
It's led us to believe that the most likely scenario is that he was taken by somebody.
Detective Superintendent Michael Willing
The area of dense bushland is just off the Pacific Highway, about 20 kilometres from Kendall.
A police source has told the ABC that officers are looking for the boy's body.
The search is being coordinated by the Homicide Squad with assistance from the Public Order and Riot Squad, Operation Support Group, Dog Unit and Water Police.
Officers said the resumption of the search was a result of information received from the public.
Police have spoken to a number of people about William's disappearance, but no-one has been detained or charged.

"It's led us to believe that the most likely scenario is that he was taken by somebody," Detective Superintendent Willing said.
"There has been an intervention by a third party there."
In January, a team of homicide detectives, forensic police and officers searched the home of a tradesman at Bonny Hills.
The property's septic tank was drained and police also seized a number of items from the home.
Police have now confirmed the owner of the property, William Spedding, is a person of interest but have stressed it is not the only line of inquiry detectives are following.
They are also still appealing for more people to come forward with information.
"Again, as is the case with these matters, somebody usually knows something," Detective Superintendent Willing said.
"We want that person or those people to come forward and provide us with the information that we need to find out what happened to William." More on this story:
