Police sift through info on missing teen
More than 100 detectives visited over 900 homes and businesses on Queensland's Sunshine Coast hinterland at the weekend in the hunt for clues to the disappearance of the 13-year-old boy.
"There is an enormous amount of information to go through," police spokeswoman Senior Sergeant Julie Elliott said. Senior Sergeant Mike Dwyer, who was in charge of the weekend's operation, said although no specific leads had turned up, information gathered through questionnaires would be followed through, especially in relation to the time Daniel waited for the bus. The bus Daniel had intended to catch failed to arrive because it broke down, a second bus did not stop because the driver was running late. By the time a third bus arrived the bus stop under the Kiel Mountain bridge was deserted. "We've been able to tighten up the time frame of when Daniel was waiting for the bus because of the information we have received," Sgt Elliott said. She said police were also keen to turn up any information on Daniel's fob watch. "Although it was a fairly common style of watch and a lot were made, his was distinctive because it had Dan inscribed on it," Sgt Elliott said. "If someone has found it and thought they had a lucky find it might be lying in a drawer somewhere." Police investigations have also centered on a late model blue car reported near when Daniel was waiting for the bus and on a white courier-style van also seen in the area. A reward of $250,000 has been posted for information about Daniel's disappearance which leads to a prosecution. |
