Such a sad outcome. I think it's fair to say that all of Australia was hoping that Daniel would be found alive and well. Our hearts go out to you Denise, Bruce and boys, we cannot even begin to understand how you feel today and every other day since your beautiful little boy went missing. Our thoughts are with you. God Bless you Daniel RIP beautiful boy.

When this case was open I was only 17 and finishing ny HSC. I hoped that he would be found safe and sound, but now at 24 I have never felt as sad as I do now. To the Morcombe family my condolences. I cant imagine the sadness amd pain you are in but I hope it starts to answer some questions. RIP Daniel

@stillett12343 what are you saying your a cop and you need stopping from murdering?? because that is how it reads

@stillett12343 they were DNA tested and it said that the remains belonged to daniel

Absolutely heart wrenching discovery. My deepest sympathy and heart felt condolence to the Morcombes.

[stillett12343]

were the bones 16 years old or less, a boy went missing the same place 16 years ago, i saw a video of a team searching woods were the body was originally left, but that was the first boy, people are proving to me that they can murder as members of the police and no one will help me prove that, one of many reasons people are being given my ranks within the police force to stop me preventing the other murders
