1. Father of murdered teenager Daniel Morcombe says the chances of William Tyrrell being found alive are “grim”.
Bruce Morcombe, speaking as what would be William’s fourth birthday approaches, has voiced feared that William may not be found alive.
The father of 13-year-old Daniel, who was murdered on the Sunshine Coast in 2003, sent a poignant message to William’s family on Sunday afternoon.
“Everyone is hopeful but logic suggests statistically, as the months go by, he is not coming home.
“We strongly want a good news story to come out of this. We have been there and genuinely hope he will be found alive. I am sure the police are working incredibly hard to find the answers but with no sightings and no physical evidence, it is looking very grim for sure.
“Miracles do happen. Let’s hope there’s one here.”
Mr. Morcombe added that important milestones such as birthdays could be “incredibly upsetting” for the families of missing children.
“Remain positive, that’s all you can do,” he said by way of advice to the Tyrrells as their son’s birthday approaches.
“The police will be working hard; they want to solve it as well. They, I am sure, go to work not filling in the hours; they go to work to find the answers.”
