The parents of murdered Queensland 13-year-old schoolboy Daniel Morcombe have criticised the producers of a new Australian film, saying it is "making money off a heinous crime" and is "disrespectful" to their son.

The Stranger is a dramatisation of the decade-long investigation that led to the arrest of the teenager's killer, Brett Peter Cowan.

Parents of murdered schoolboy Daniel Morcombe foil potential grooming of grandson​

The six-year-old was playing a popular online game in the car when he shared a ‘frightening’ revelation.
“Winston said, ‘Nana, Pa, this person knows my name’ and Bruce and I just looked at each other and said, ‘Oh, OK’,” Denise told 7NEWS.


Immediately, the couple were on alert.

“That doesn’t sound great, that smells like a paedophile online trying to groom Winston and we were pretty frightened,” Bruce said.
“He was trying to build his confidence,” Bruce said, adding this was a common technique used in grooming.

“We sent a message to him saying, ‘Stop contacting kids you online creep’.”

That cache of documents — including police reports, maps, transcripts and website print-outs — has now been destroyed by fire at the hands of Bruce.

“A lot of it’s disturbing material,” he told 7NEWS.

“I’ve probably had a gutful of all the records, all the files we’ve kept.

“It’s time to move on.

“Particularly, I’m trying to protect our family, and the grandkids especially.

Just picked up a copy of 'The Sting'. Kate Kyriacou's book on the police operation that solved the case. Will get into it as soon as l finish Hedley Thomas' book.

Couldn't recommend the book 'The Sting' more highly. Surprised the author was able to not only find out exactly how the undercover cops extracted a confession from Daniel's killer but include it in great detail in her book.
