Shoes discovered at the murder scene of Daniel Morcombe had similar wear patterns to the shoes found in his room, a jury has heard.
Brisbane's Supreme Court has also been told how feral animals may have disturbed the crime scene where police located Daniel's remains.
Daniel was 13 when he vanished while waiting for a bus at Woombye on the Sunshine Coast in 2003.
The boy's remains were found near the Glass House Mountains eight years later.
