Gary Jubelin, 57, revealed in May he was quitting his job after being taken off the William Tyrrell case while he was investigated over misconduct allegations.

NSW Police confirmed on Friday the detective chief inspector had been issued with a court attendance notice to face four offences under the Surveillance Devices Act.
"Following a number of complaints, the Professional Standards Command commenced an investigation in 2018 overseen by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, into the conduct of the officer during the course of his operational duties," NSW Police said in a statement.
"Those inquiries disclosed a number of recordings allegedly made at locations in Parramatta and Kendall in NSW."
Jubelin is scheduled to face a Sydney court on July 30.
In addition to leading the fresh search for missing three-year-old William Tyrrell, Jubelin was involved in investigating the death of Sydney man Matthew Leveson and the disappearance of three Aboriginal children in Bowraville.
Matthew Leveson's father, Mark Leveson, has repeatedly spoken out in support of Jubelin.
He tweeted after the detective's resignation in May that it would be a "massive loss" to the people of NSW and the cases he worked on.
NSW Police said that while Jubelin had submitted his resignation, his immediate employment status was under review.
