Daniel Morcombe was 13 years old when he vanished from a bus stop in Queensland, Australia, never to be seen again. The ramifications of this crime would be felt around Australia for decades to come. A large-scale investigation was launched almost immediately and quickly led police to several prime suspects, but after years went by with no arrests, it was looking like they may never get the evidence they’d need to solve the case.
