Where is Daniel?

Is it just me or does everyone think Bruce and Denise Morcombe are carrying the heaviest cross any parent can be asked to bear?

The brave pair are on Australian Story tonight, telling their story again, trying again to find answers about their missing boy, Daniel.

It will be a compelling show. In the weekend press Denise admitted she has struggled with alcohol in the three years since Daniel disappeared, falling into the trap of just trying to dull the pain.

I think she’s a brave woman to tell that story and a very strong person to break that habit.

Publicising their story is how they keep the public looking for clues in the hunt for Daniel.

The Morcombes say late last year they were contacted by a woman who claims to have been in the car with those responsible for abducting Daniel.

Bruce told Australian Story that the unnamed woman, troubled by her conscience, claimed to know how long 13-year-old Daniel lived after being kidnapped and what he was forced to endure.

She claimed to have been in the car with those responsible for the abduction and told the Morcombes where to find their son.

On tonight's program the Morcombe’s reveal that when they dug at the site nominated by the caller, they found a piece of faded red material. Daniel was wearing a red t shirt the day he disappeared.

Bruce says throughout the investigation, the same names have continued to surface – he says there is a pedophile link to a Mooloolaba unit - there a claims that a quite elderly man is willing to pay drug addicts cash if they supply him with young boys.

But that’s where the trail goes cold.

The Queensland Government has offered a reward of $250,000 for information about the fate of Daniel.

Also this weekend, there’s a formal red tie fundraiser for Daniel at Twin Waters. Country stars Beccy Cole and James Blundell are the entertainment…for tickets, go to www.danielmorcombe.com.au
