GUILTY Australia - Daniel Morcombe, 13, Woombye, QLD, 7 Dec 2003 - #2

A note to all. We are not going down the speculating about/blaming parents road. They are classed as victims in this case.

The only one responsible for this heinous crime is cowan himself.

You're right on the money there. It was a pathetic need to be accepted into some sort of underbelly which probably appealed to Cowan what with his sick and depraved interests. Even his own aunt said that he was "internally a boy, inside a man's body, desperate for acceptance and attention". What kind of acceptance did he want?! He must have a totally different concept of it, because very few people accept or respect criminals. The only attention he got was plain notoriety.

Having said this, I don't sympathise with his actions at all, I think the guy is just an awful person, but members of the general public who jabber on about their detailed wishes for a violent end for Cowan are simply no good. Instead, let Cowan suffer by sitting in prison for the rest of his life, reflecting on what a failure he has become and what damage he has caused not only the Morcombe's, but his own family: his mother, his father, his three brothers, his ex wife and their three boys. Death is such an easy, quick way out and it should not be applicable for Cowan. I'd like to hear from Cowan's family. Perhaps this Sunday's 60 Minutes special will feature an interview with them. I already know that his ex girlfriend is being interviewed.

BBM

I seriously doubt a criminal such as cowan will have any sort of "reflecting" going on his head. He will be too busy looking over his shoulder for the next 20years.

All his type are concerned about is self preservation = themselves. They have no care or concern at all for anyone outside that.

Irsrising just a question for you, do Psychopaths want acceptance by peers? Was just wondering how it ties Into his happiness at being part of the fake gang.

I don't think it was so much that he wanted acceptance by peers. In my opinion the last sentence says it all. He wanted the "thrill of it all"....just as he wanted his sick perverted "thrills" with young children. And once again, who was he thinking about??...himself!!

But they’d threatened to take away his new life. His mates. The cars and restaurants and parties. The money they threw around. The women. The thrill of it all.

Oh dear! I am horribly embarrassed to admit that my impressions after watching that interview: "What a lovely young man! Fresh faced, engaging smile, slightly cheeky and handsome to a degree:"

Next thought being: How in blue blazes does one recognize a paedophile or murderer?

Appears like they can't see much beyond their sexual depravations.
Put up some sort of public display of normality. Christian Church goer. A proper Marriage. The proper family man.

Appears underneath they think: Bugger the victims and bugger the Law. And bugger the family of the victim. To buggery with everything and everyone.
My question: WHY does the Law protect these people?

No need to mock.

I'm just tired of the media sensationalising this man. The photos of him captioned with 'monster'... it's such an easy way to portray him. Why not show photos of how he appeared most of the time? Clean cut and ordinary looking. It's more chilling and poignant than the tiresome 'perverted freak with a beard and long bushy hair'.

BRETT Cowan’s Sunshine Coast church allegedly *covered up his attempted rape of a 15-year-old parishioner in 1998, five years before he *murdered Daniel Morcombe.

The explosive allegation by a former member of the Christian Outreach Centre at Woombye was that Cowan tried to rape her before a church event in May 1998

Denise Morcombe tells of disbelief that Brett Cowan was let out of jail after earlier attacks

March 16, 2014

DANIEL Morcombe would still be alive had his killer been locked up long enough over the attempted murder of a Darwin boy a decade earlier, his mother says.

Speaking publicly for the first time since Brett Cowan’s sentencing, Denise Morcombe revealed her family’s disbelief that the sexual predator had ever been let out of jail given his depraved history.

This is reliving the Jill Maher murder again.
These murderers should not be discarded back onto our streets. Full stop.

Thanks for this post Marlywings. It's good to finally hear Denise's voice, her opinion on this absolutely devastating event in her/their lives.

Well, that's just disgusting!! Talk about collusion!! They've placed many people at risk by just 'sweeping it under the carpet'. He'd have had access to lots of trusting church members, including children.:facepalm:

The pastor who is now denying any knowledge of it should be deeply, deeply ashamed of himself.:scared:

You know, I've always doubted that Daniel just happily hopped in the car with Cowan (as he claims, amongst his other lies about what happened that day).

Then reading this kind of solidifies that doubt for me. He snatches them, takes them. That's his MO. He may have had a knife or weapon to get a child as large as Daniel in the car but I bet he forced him in....

"He said who wants a golf ball? And the group of us ran up and we all put our hands up and don’t know why but he just pointed to me," Mr Nicholls said.

"He [Cowan] said you have to come into the toilets. And I said no. And then he grabbed me and picked me up and took me into the toilets."

Daniel Morcombe trial: What the jury wasn’t told about Brett Cowan

It can now be revealed that Cowan:

TOOK a seven-year-old boy from a playgroup, sodomized & molested him in a toilet block, then attempted to choke the boy when the child threatened to tell his mother; boy saved by unknown woman (see 60mins tonight);

LEFT a second child, aged six, dumped for dead in an old, rusty car after raping, bashing, cutting & attempted murder in Darwin; bleeding boy staggered into petrol station with life threatening injuries; (his chest had been crushed, he had also been strangled);

ADMITTED to sexually abusing up to 30 children while a child himself by luring them into the change rooms of a local swimming pool.

These incidents have been widely reported post Sentencing of Cowan. However, there is more:-

SEXUALLY assaulted children in the lead-up to Daniel’s disappearance in a series of incidents not reported to police;

FORCED a girlfriend into a bizarre and violent kidnap and rape role play years after killing Daniel; and

SUBJECTED partners to violent sex acts, including repeatedly choking one into unconsciousness.


IMO it's time to ask why these events were not reported earlier? to Cowan's parole officer? police? What was the reasoning behind NOT REPORTING? The adult girlfriends had a responsibility: males may act out/role play their fantasies on their girlfriend/wife/partners because its safe; she/he won't tell etc. The girlfriends know this behaviour is out of the ordinary, threatening, not pleasurable, etc. Jill Meagher's rapist & murderer, Adrian Bailey, reportedly acted out the sexual fantasy which included choking on a prostitute in the weeks leading up to the rape & murder of Jill.(See Jill Meagher thread) JMO.

Do we need to start intervention by educating adult women/men about their bodies being used for male sexual role plays which may harm/threaten the 'well being' of others? Do we start early intervention by including a sexual/mental health topic in secondary education on sexuality for students?

KATE KYRIACOU THE COURIER-MAIL MARCH 13, 2014
HE twice went to jail for snatch and rape attacks on young boys, lost count of how many other children he’d abused and carried out violent and depraved sexual fantasies on the women he dated...

"Peter Littlejohn was working with Cowan at a tree lopping business in Perth in 2010, where the murderer had fled after murdering Daniel Morcombe on the Queensland Sunshine Coast in 2003.

Mr Littlejohn said that Cowan was a bully who picked on other employees including his brother-in-law, so one day he confronted him at the caravan park when he was living.....While Cowan may have been able to overpower little boys, when he picked on someone his own size, it was a different story, Mr Littlejohn said.“He was tall and weedy and basically he knew he was no match.”

BBM Such arrogance!

He ran straight to the police after this guy assaulted him. He's arrogant but cowardly with adult males when it comes down to it......:facepalm:

PS the guy that hit him was ordered by a magistrate to pay Cowan $5000 for hitting him!! Even that seems outrageous - I don't see Cowan having to pay money to his abuse victims.

Channel 7's Sunday Night & 60 minutes tonight are about catching Daniel's killer.

Denise said she doesn't want to see his face or hear his name ever again. Denise & Bruce refuse to mention the murderer by name. I think that's fair enough. I's like to refer to him as the 'filthy murdering pedophile' from this day on.

Is that OK with you Marley? Please, or am I being too nice?
