Brett Peter Cowan[1][2] (born 18 September 1969) is an Australian murderer and serial child rapist. He was convicted of the murder of Daniel Morcombe, a 13-year-old boy who disappeared from the Sunshine Coast on 7 December 2003.[3] His abduction led to an eight-year investigation involving various suspects. As a result of these investigations, Cowan led undercover police to a potential burial site.
[4] He was charged with the murder that same month, and Morcombe's remains were discovered days later on 17 August. Cowan was sentenced to life imprisonment, (being eligible for parole in 2031) on 13 March 2014 in a trial that attracted worldwide attention.[5][6][7] Cowan had two previous convictions for sexually abusing children, the earliest dating back to 1987.[8][9]
The investigation into Morcombe's disappearance became the highest profile crime case in Queensland's history.[10]
