From https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7405125/William-Tyrrell-inquest-Man-claims-spotted-boy-wearing-Spiderman-suit-day-vanished.html:
"... He said he was shocked to see a car speeding through his quiet street with an unrestrained child - who he believes was William - in the back seat with his arms pressed against the window. But it took Mr Chapman almost 1000 days - until the inquest resumed this week - for him to reveal what he saw. Mr Chapman told Deputy State Coroner Harriet Grahame at the NSW Coroner's Court he was '100 per cent certain' it was William he saw peering out of the car.
After he spoke, the rest of the coronial inquest was delayed for another eight months without reason. The next round of hearings will now not occur until March 2020. Mr Chapman said it wasn't until later that night on September 12 that he learned William was missing, and questioned if what he saw that morning was worth reporting. He heard police would be conducting interviews with locals one by one, and assumed it wouldn't be long until police were knocking on his door to discuss the incident, The Australian reported. After weeks passed and Mr Chapman realised nobody was coming to question him, he told the inquest he sought out a local police officer named Wendy Hudson who he had known since she was a baby. He found her sister-in-law instead, and asked her to pass on a message that he believed he saw William on the day of his disappearance, but the message didn't make its way to police until 2015.

But a lot of his information is correct.
