About Day for Daniel

Daniel's story and legacy

Daniel Morcombe was a 13-year-old boy, living with his parents and brothers in Palmwoods on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. While on his way to buy Christmas presents for his family at a local shopping centre, he went missing.

He was last seen wearing a red t-shirt, waiting for a bus at 2:10 pm on Sunday 7 December 2003. He was abducted and murdered. After years of searching and an incredible undercover police investigation, Daniel was finally found in 2011.
