The Abduction & Murder of Daniel Morcombe

(10:36) - Daniel Morcombe

In December 2003, Australian teen Daniel Morcombe (13) had saved up some money and decided to take the bus to a shopping center to buy Christmas gifts for his family.

Daniel walked to a nearby bus stop. He attempted to flag down a bus, but the driver was unable to stop due to mechanical issues with the vehicle. A second bus followed behind very shortly. Daniel was no longer at the bus stop and was never seen alive again.

The investigation into Daniel’s disappearance was one of the largest ever seen in Australia. At one stage, there was a reward of $1m offered in the case.

In 2011, a sex offender named Brett Peter Cowan was arrested and charged with Daniel’s murder. Cowan had offered Daniel a lift to the shopping centre after the bus failed to stop. Cowan murdered Daniel within an hour of his abduction.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the abduction and murder of Daniel Morcombe.
