AN angry Bruce Morcombe yesterday used the third anniversary of his teenage son's disappearance to pose a series of shocking and cryptic questions to those responsible for Daniel's abduction.
The six questions, handwritten on the side of a door, revealed for the first time the family's belief that Daniel, 13, had been taken by pedophiles who had given him the nickname "Christmas cake" and that his remains might be in a drum buried in scrub next to a new housing estate.
The questions also raised the theory, for the first time, that the Sunshine Coast schoolboy might have been drugged while in a car, that he was alive for some time after his abduction and that he could have been with someone's sister.
"These questions are purposely targeted to somebody that specifically knows the answer or that can relate to someone talking about something specifically on those very pointed questions," Mr Morcombe said.
"We're really appealing for somebody that knows something, whether anonymously or however – (to) post a note, forward a note, scribble a note, tell somebody else . . . we don't care if it's anonymously. We're after Daniel, not specifically the person that did it at this stage."
Mr Morcombe said he had been prompted to put the questions in the public arena after the family received certain private information from members of the community.
"Everything we receive we forward to police," he said. "Much of it police already had – but some information we received paired up separately to what police also have."
Mr Morcombe said his door message was brief "and perhaps a little cryptic".
"Clearly we want this person caught, but we can't damage a potential trial further down the track so we have to be particularly cautious about what we say," he said.
Mr Morcombe said not a day went by when he and his wife Denise did not think about Daniel, especially as his twin brother Bradley reached life's milestones.
"It's great that we enjoy Bradley growing up but it's particularly cutting to have a smile for one boy and heartache for someone else," he said.
Officer in charge of the Maroochydore CIB, Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Schmidt, said police still worked on the Morcombe investigation every day and had conducted up to 20,000 interviews.
" I know it's been three years but that one phone call, that one little bit of information, might be the key we're looking for," he said. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800 333 000.
Mr Morcombe's door, which represents the way to break open the case, has been placed next to Daniel's memorial plinth on the spot he went missing on December 7, 2003, beneath the Keil Mountain Rd overpass on the Nambour Connection Rd.

There is obviously something the police and family know that we dont and the sad thing is from this it seems that the family have resigned themselves to the fact that Daniel is passed away.
