Where is Daniel Morcombe? - Series Overview
A decade-long investigation led by grieving parents and a legacy of helping to protect children all over the world.
On December 7, 2003, Daniel disappeared in broad daylight while waiting for a bus on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. His case sparked one of the largest investigations in Australian history and captured the attention of the nation.
Daniel became known nationwide as “The Boy in the Red Shirt.” Police kept coming up short and for years the trail remained cold. Determined not to let Daniel be forgotten, his parents set up the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, kept Daniel’s story in the public eye, and ultimately pressed for a coronial inquest.
This public inquiry became the catalyst for an operation that turned the stalled investigation on its head. In the audacious plot that followed, Australian police took shocking risks and went to extraordinary lengths to unlock the case and bring the perpetrator — finally — to justice.
Through unprecedented access to the Morcombe family and detectives who worked on the case, Where is Daniel Morcombe? reveals the twists and turns of a decade-long investigation and reveals Daniel’s lasting legacy in protecting children all over the world.
Throughout the season, listeners will question – how did this happen? Who is responsible? And how does Daniel’s legacy live on?
Where is Daniel Morcombe? is a production of Sony Music Entertainment, Campside Media and Pacesetter Productions.
