I dont know if theres a thread on this already. But i just thought i would make one for this boy..
I didnt know him but his story really does hit home for me.
Daniel was a 13 year old boy who lived on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. He had two loving parents, an older brother and an identical twin brother.
On December 7th, 2003, Daniel went to get the bus to go to the shops and get some christmas presents for his parents and a haircut. He was seen last staning under Keel Mountain Overpass waiting for his bus. His bus was running behind because it had broken down. When a replacement Bus came, it did not stop for Daniel as he was not waiting at an official bus stop. The driver raidioed for another bus to come get him but by the time that bus arrived Daniel had vanished.
Daniels parents, Bruce and Denise Morcombe, had endured 8 years of pain and suffering but never gave up on trying to find their son. They relentlessly fought to keep his case in the media and in the publics mind. They started the Daniel Morcombe Foundation in his honour to try and raise awareness and protect other children. This foundation relies solely on donations from the public (address is http://www.danielmorcombe.com.au) if anyone wants to donate.
In august last year Denise and Bruce and Dean and Bradley (Daniels parents and brothers) efforts to find him paid off. At Glasshouse Mountain, not far from where he dissapeard but remote enough not to find him i guess, 3 bones and 2 shoes were found. These were later confirmed via DNA testing to be those of Daniel. A few weeks later Brett Peter Cowan was arrested in Perth and charged with Daniels abduction and murder as well as depravation of liberty, indecent treatment of a child under 16 and interfering with a corpse.
His parents and family can now have the closure they deserve and they can properly say goodbye to their son, no one can hurt him any more and he is safe with the angels.
Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayrs. After all this time nobody wants to see this monster let off and get away with this. He could go on and do this to anothers precious child. He faces the Life without parole.
