Summary
On December 7, 2003, 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe decided to spend his Sunday shopping at the Sunshine Plaza, hoping to find Christmas gifts for his family. To get there, he would need to take a 20-minute bus ride. As he waited for the bus, unaware that it had broken down, Daniel could never have imagined that a predator was lurking nearby, ready to take advantage of his unfortunate situation.
