Daniel riding his horse
News was publish today, 4th December 2012 by The Australian.
A SHABBILY dressed man was spotted talking to an "uncomfortable" boy believed to be Daniel Morcombe on the day the teenager disappeared, a court has heard.
Witness Gregory Smith told the Brisbane Magistrates Court he was driving along Nambour Connection Road on December 7, 2003, when he saw an early model blue sedan pulled over under an overpass.
A driver was sitting in the front seat and a man was standing near the boot talking to a young boy, Mr Smith said.
He said the scene was odd - it looked as if the boy did not know the man and was uncomfortable while the man was "relaxed".
"I don't think the young boy in question was comfortable, it just had the aura about it," Mr Smith said.
He told the court as soon as he got home, he told his mother he was unsettled by what he had seen. Mr Smith reported it to police on January 24, 2004, after Daniel's disappearance was publicised.
Brett Peter Cowan, 43, is charged with the abduction and murder of the 13-year-old on December 7, 2003. Mr Cowan faces a committal hearing to decide whether there is enough evidence to put him on trial.
He has not entered a plea but his defence team say he intends to contest the charges.
The hearing continues.
