A boy called Daniel

TRUE CRIME AUSTRALIA
About this episode

Missing can affect anyone, regardless of race, gender, social status or age. The reality of that fact hit Australia hard when Queensland boy Daniel Morcombe vanished from a bus stop in 2003. This episode revisits the infamous case, detailing the harrowing years between Daniel’s disappearance and the discovery of his remains. Meanwhile, in the Northern Territory, police search for a needle in a haystack.

Please note: this is an older episode of The Missing from a few years ago. The audio quality is better in series 2 (from June 2023), but the content and story is just as important.
