Several witnesses are still to give evidence and investigators are examining fresh leads.

Counsel assisting the coroner, Gerard Craddock SC, told a directions hearing on June 1 there were people who had information about William's disappearance and suspected death who should contact NSW Police.

"No doubt there are people who have not passed on information they have," Mr Craddock said.

"Hopefully people reconsider withholding information, call the police and help us out."
