QLD:Second shoe found at Morcombe search sit=2

Police divers as well as 50 State Emergency Service (SES) personnel and 25 police have
beem looking for the boy's remains.

Searchers found the first shoe in the bushland area in waist-deep mud.

Daniel disappeared in 2003 aged 13 and became Queensland's highest-profile missing child case.

He was last seen waiting for a bus under a Sunshine Coast overpass.

The search effort was sparked by the arrest last weekend of Perth man Brett Peter Cowan,
41, who has been charged with Daniel's murder.

Daniel's father, Bruce Morcombe earlier said the discovery of the first shoe could
turn out to be "a game-breaker".

Police have not revealed to media whether the shoe matches those worn by Daniel the
day he disappeared, but Mr Morcombe believes the find could be a significant piece of
evidence.

The Morcombe family had been told of the latest find, police said.
