A new search has been launched in the case of missing boy William Tyrrell 
The boy vanished from his foster grandparents' garden in 2014 His disappearance sparked a frantic search but no trace of him has been found.
Now investigators are “hopeful†of finding physical evidence in a new search they will conduct starting on Monday morning, reported the Sydney Morning Herald.
The NSW Police Force said in a statement that more details will be given during a press conference at 10.30am local time.
According to the outlet new information has led to the search in an area that was not previously investigated in Benaroon Drive .
It comes after cops revealed in September they had a new suspect in the long-running mystery.
Detective Chief Inspector David Laidlaw, said further information had come to light after a review of materials gathered by investigators since William's disappearance seven years ago.
He said: “As our team continue to conduct inquiries and explore all avenues of investigation, our focus has been identifying if anything has been missed, or if there are any details â€" no matter how small â€" that need to be clarified.
“Police remain committed to finding out what happened to William, but our most important job here is to bring him home for both families.â€
William was just three years old when he vanished while playing with his sister on September 12, 2014.
He was in the care of foster parents who took him on a visit to the coastal town of Kendall, New South Wales, on the day he disappeared.
His parents went inside to make a cup of tea while William and his sister played hide and seek outside.
When they returned five minutes later the toddler had vanished.
A police investigation into William's disappearance at the time flagged two suspicious cars seen parked on the street earlier that day.
At the time, William's biological parents remained unaware for hours as their son was reported missing and a dramatic search for the three-year-old began.
After being told by cops his son was missing, the father, 33, said: “He’s f***ing what?â€
The birth father told an inquest he blamed welfare authorities for his disappearance, saying: “They f***ed up."
He added: "The minister has a duty of care to keep him safe until 18."
No trace of William has ever been found and no one has ever been charged.
A $1million reward for information about the missing boy remains in place since September 2016.
The case has been compared to the mystery of Madeleine McCann, who was also three when she vanished from her parents' holiday apartment in Portugal in 2007.
