DANIEL JAMES MORCOMBE
Daniel Morcombe or his full name, Daniel James Morcombe, was 13years-old when he went missing, on December 7th, 2003, few more days before his 14th Birthday. It is believed that Daniel was abducted from an unofficial bus stop under the Kiel Mountain Road overpass in the Woombye district of the Sunshine Coast approximately 2 km north of The Big Pineapple on Sunday, 7 December 2003. Daniel planned to catch the 1:35 pm bus to the Sunshine Plaza Shopping Centre for a haircut and to buy Christmas presents for his family, but he failed to return.
Witnesses reported seeing Daniel at approximately 2:10 pm on the Nambour Connection Road under the Kiel Mountain Road overpass. The bus he was supposed to catch had broken down a few kilometres before his stop, and was behind schedule. When a replacement bus eventually arrived, Daniel hailed the bus, but it carried on without stopping, due to its delay and the fact that his stop was only an unofficial request stop. The driver of the bus radioed the depot for another bus to go and pick up Daniel. The bus driver and other witnesses later reported seeing a man standing a distance behind Daniel and another man slightly farther away at the time. When the second bus came a couple of minutes later, Daniel and the man had both gone.
A blue 1980s model sedan, possibly a Toyota Corolla, with yellow New South Wales license plates, is believed to be the car used by the abductor(s). Daniel owned a distinctive fob style pocket watch with "Dan" engraved on it, which has not been found
The Abduction of Daniel was told on this Link:
