Daniel Morcombe's killer is a 44-year-old father who had previously been known to police for molesting children but it wasn?t until Daniel?s death that he became the focus of their investigations.

FINDING Daniel Morcombe's killer should have been "a simple puzzle to solve'', his parents believe.

The Morcombes have revealed their heart-wrenching thoughts on the biggest investigation in Queensland history in an interview with The ­Courier-Mail.

They said that of the 33 short-listed persons of interest, Brett Cowan – codenamed P7 – had been strongly considered by them.

"He was in our top three based on what we had read (about his previous crimes),'' Denise Morcombe said.

Brett Peter Cowan upon his arrest in 2011.

"Until the inquest, he had sailed along under the radar. They (the police) just believed what Cowan said.''

Mr Morcombe said Cowan had stood out because of his "disgraceful history''.

"I felt he was a remarkably simple person to identify and this was a simple puzzle to solve,'' he said.

"He (Cowan) had a terrible history of doing similar things and was the only POI who said he drove in the area at the time.

"He had a huge hole in his alibi and a disgraceful record.

Daniel Morcombe's parents thank police, the public and media for support during the search for their son and the the trial of his killer, Brett Peter Cowan.

"The initial officers who ­interviewed him were aware of the deficiency in his alibi but it was never run out.''

Brett Peter Cowan has been found guilty of murdering Queensland schoolboy Daniel Morcombe in 2003.

The Morcombes recalled the chilling moment they knew in their gut that they had seen their son's murderer.

Mr Morcombe said it was during the 2011 inquest sittings in Brisbane when P7 appeared to give evidence.

"When he (Cowan) walked into the inquest on April 1, we knew … It was bizarre. He had not said a word, but we knew it was him. I think everyone in the room did. We just knew he's a done deal.''
