DAY two of the Daniel Morcombe committal hearing has begun. Follow the hearing with our rolling coverage.

11.40am: The second witness to give evidence, Sunshine Coast Detective Sergeant Graeme Farlow, has taken the stand to talk about his involvement in the investigation.

The court heard Det Sgt Farlow was involved in the initial investigation and was reassigned to the case in 2011, when he was given the role of crime scene manager.

At this time, search teams were sifting through mud, creek beds and foliage at three different crime scenes in the Glass House Mountains.

The detective was responsible for calling in a long list of experts who provided police with assistance on everything from wildlife activity to water movement during the Queensland floods.

Later, police brought in two geomorphologists - experts who gave advice on how far search crews would need to dig to reach the soil level from 2003.

Mr Bosscher said the detective was the person tasked to get the samples from the crime scene to the lab in New Zealand.

''I was the carry person, yes,'' Det Sgt Farlow said.

10.21am: Ms McGovern said a separate gender test on the humerus bone was not able to confirm whether it belonged to a male or female.
