Although Queensland police visited Brett Peter Cowan just days after Daniel Morcombe first disappeared in 2003, it took 8 years, an inquest and an incredibly intricate covert operation for them to find a way to convict him of Daniel’s abduction and murder. Journalist Kate Kyriacou covered the case and wrote a book about the covert operation THE STING: The Undercover Operation That Caught Daniel Morcombe's Killer
