I totally agree with you kiwi50. I live on the Sunshine Coast in Qld not far from where Daniel Morcombe was abducted. Bruce and Denise were immediately able to take fast action in the search for Daniel (something that William*s parents were not able to do, subject to the circumstances of secrecy around their identity).
When Daniel first went missing there were flyers printed that were placed in all shop windows, on buses, on bus shelters, on peoples vehicles, on taxis, even on milk cartons, on large billboards all down the Bruce Highway, on peoples mail boxes etc.etc.!!! They left no stone unturned as they even became involved themselves with searching. With all this happening so soon after Daniel went missing, it still took 6 YEARS WITH ALL THIS PUBLICITY from beginning of Daniel*s abduction until COWAN was arrested.
I feel very frustrated that OUR DARLING LITTLE WILLIAM was not given the same opportunity because of the secrecy around his troubled life. I pray for William*s parents every day that WILLIAM will be returned to them, but I am afraid of what the outcome might be. I have followed this Forum from DAY 1.
