Qld: Search resumes for boy feared taken by croc
CAIRNS, Qld, Feb 10 AAP - The search for a five-year-old boy feared taken by a crocodile
in the Daintree River north of Cairns continued on Tuesday.
Five-year-old Jeremy Doble was playing with his brother Ryan, seven, around the croc-infested
river, where his parents run a tour company, when he disappeared after following his dog
into the water on Sunday.
His brother told police he spotted a crocodile in the area moments after Jeremy disappeared.
Police and State Emergency Service volunteers are carrying out a large-scale search
operation of the area, about 100km north of Cairns, but have yet to find any trace of
the boy.
