QLD:Mum hopes gifts will bring Declan home
BRISBANE, April 4 AAP - The mother of a Queensland schoolboy missing for almost a month
hopes he'll return home for his birthday presents.
Declan Crouch, of Machans Beach, north of Cairns, will turn 14 on Tuesday as police
continue the largest search operation in the state since the abduction of Daniel Morcombe
in 2003.
His mum Ruth still believes her son is in hiding, and has not met with foul play, and
desperately hopes the lure of a family birthday and presents will encourage him to come
home.
"We're hoping he might want his birthday presents badly enough to come home," she told
the ABC on Monday.
"He is really obsessed with his iPod touch and is constantly listening to music on
it and downloading things from the internet so we have bought him a stereo you can dock
your iPod on."
Declan was last seen leaving his family's Machans Beach home after school on March 9.
Queensland police have received reports of hundreds of sightings but are still no closer
to finding him.
