Australian Story: July 20

This week’s Australian Story is about a small town lawyer who helped solve the biggest criminal investigation in Queensland’s history: the case of Daniel Morcombe.

“The Man Behind the Morcombes” is introduced by Karina Carvahlo, ABC News Queensland.

Peter Boyce is a family man with a strong sense of community, an interest in pro bono work and a fascination with David and Goliath court cases.

When he joined forces with Bruce and Denise Morcombe to investigate their son Daniel’s disappearance, his cross-examinations during the coronial inquest played a crucial role in finally bringing the case to a close.

This is his story.
