QLD:Morcombes finally mourn for Daniel

DANIEL MORCOMBE'S father BRUCE says confirmation that human remains found in Sunshine
Coast bushland belonged to his son was like waiting for a sledgehammer to hit.

He says the confirmation wasn't a big surprise, as they knew it would be miraculous
if the three bones found in boggy bushland near Beerwah didn't belong to DANIEL, who was
13 when he went missing in 2003.

Mr MORCOMBE says he's hesitant to describe the family's feeling as closure, saying
it was more like relief.

The family says they've yet to make any firm funeral plans, but want to wait for all
of DANIEL'S remains to be recovered.
