Schapelle Corby sticks photo of missing boy William Tyrell to handbag

With dozens of media swamping her on her final exit from her Kuta home, Schapelle Corby raised her handbag into the air to show a picture of missing NSW boy William Tyrell pasted to the side of the black leather.

Cory used the now-famous photo of young Tyrell in his spiderman costume in what appears to be an effort to remind people of his case.

Tyrell disappeared from his grandmother’s backyard in 2014 and is yet to be found.

Tyrell’s family were quick to respond to the gesture, telling The Sunday Telegraph they were surprised to see the footage as they had no prior knowledge she knew about the case.

“We appreciate Schapelle Corby’s concern about William’s disappearance and using this media opportunity to increase awareness that William is still missing,” Where’s William? campaign director Clare Collins said.

“However, William’s family and the campaign have absolutely no association with Schapelle, her supporters or her family.

“We had no prior knowledge of Schapelle’s intention to use William’s image in this way.”

There has been intense media hype around Corby’s imminent arrival back home after spending nearly a decade in a Bali prison for drug smuggling.

It appears that Corby has decided to used that attention for good.

She also started an Instagram account before jetting out of Denpasar last night, sharing an image of herself looking out the plane window with the caption, “boarded”.

What do you think of Corby using William’s photo? Is this a good way to spin the focus on her into something positive?
