Found Deceased Australia - Jesse Baird, 26, TV presenter and partner Luke Davies, 29. blood located at home, 23 Feb 2024 *arrest*

Is the timeline for the accused movements from Monday night through to Wednesday morning known? I just can't wrap my head around why he wouldn't dispose of the bodies straight away and would be driving with bodies in the vehicle for so long.

I wonder if he was intending to be caught all along and this whole thing is just a sick game to him. The idea of him burying them somewhere remote and then making it look like he dumped them in a body of water to waste time did cross my mind. He was so pissed at his ex he might take real joy from all this, like one big sick show, everyone is a prop, like in a Hollywood movie where he would stalk real life movie stars. <modsnip>

Sounds sick alright, if he took the weapon back to the police station, it means he stopped there with dead bodies in the van, going off the suggested chain of events, I think the bodies were buried or in water Monday night.

Correct, action must be taken if there's any information provided on the call, whether there is a response on the line or not (see ACMA - no response to triple zero) the caller location can usually be traced by an AML if available, otherwise a general area within multiple cell towers (which is what sounds like happened for them to not have a specific location in Paddington to go to). Because it's classed a concern for welfare check + they've got his registered phone details they went to LD's Waterloo address. I believe this has become somewhat of a priority response for LE due to the lack of/delayed response and background checks done with the Liverpool DV that occurred last year.

New information. After the press conference leaving the impression that there was no action taken about the 000 call, this says there was.

Police sent car after triple-zero call from alleged murder victim’s phone

Police sent a car searching for the source of the triple-zero call, but because it was registered to Davies’ home in Waterloo, patrolled Paddington without specific information to go on.

Is it just me but I can’t see how this investigation has been “botched”? I get that there are issues with the perp and the service weapon but what about with the investigation?

I wonder if his family and colleagues are helping with that. imo. What kind of investigation mistakes can have your case thrown out here in Oz?

I'm surprised that it's only been a week, and it's already being referred to as a potential "botched investigation." Are they thinking they'll never find the bodies? Seems like they're doing alright. The POI is already in custody.

Yes, I'm with you.

I also believe that Lamarre is much smarter than he appears. From fragmentary information, his plan becomes apparent. First, he had been nurturing a revenge plan for months, monitoring Luke and Jesse, and carefully choosing the best time of day to strike. He opted for a busy morning when everyone is occupied and reluctant to interrupt even if they hear gunshots. It worked; none of the neighbours reacted.

Furthermore, his movements around the city may seem chaotic on the surface, but they are undoubtedly calculated to throw off any trails and create a confusing picture. Currently, the police are searching for bodies in the ponds on the farm. Maybe that's what he wanted? He knew the police would trace what he bought and who he came with. He intentionally left a multitude of traces, none leading to the crime victims.

It's entirely possible that he rented two vans, using one to roam the city aimlessly and the other to transport the bodies, disposing of them in the ocean - a place teeming with sharks. The police are fixated on one van and the farm with the ponds. It would be the perfect place to hide the bodies if he didn't shoot his victims but quietly poisoned them. I hope I'm wrong. It's so unfortunate for the guys - so young, beautiful, and happy... IMHO.

They only split up 2 months ago. It was in an article I read yesterday. That is some intense planning in just 2 month"s time. It must've been all he thought about, day and night.

'We need space to grieve': Mardi Gras details decision to uninvite NSW Police

NSW Police says it is "disappointed" at the decision to withdraw its invitation to march at Saturday's parade — one Mardi Gras organisers say was "not made lightly".

I would've thought that the event would be inclusive, but what do I know. Apparently you need a special invitation.

I would've thought that the event would be inclusive, but what do I know. Apparently you need a special invitation.

I think it's totally fair to ask the police not to attend this time. It's only been a week, and I can't imagine the community will want to march with an entity investigating themselves for an officer suspected of a double murder, no matter who the victims may have been.

Distrust in the police was also high in the UK after Sarah Everett's murder. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to distance yourself from an authority which have failed to police even themselves, let alone protect the public.

And it looks like they’re at a party or event. The crowd is trending older - I wonder if it’s a family event? Kind of dispels the ABC report earlier that they had an ‘encounter’ and only a few dates.

Jesse Baird 'was never in a relationship' with alleged double-murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon

Mr Baird had apparently been enjoying life in Sydney until August last year when he told Mr Thorpe he had 'been followed home by a cop car'.

'Jesse called me... He was frantic,' Mr Thorpe said.

'He said, "Corey, last night, this morning, I was sleeping in my bed and I had the feeling someone is standing over me, at the end of my bed watching me, and when I woke up they stole my phone and wallet. I bolted after them in Paddington."

---

Mr Thorpe later texted Baird, 'How did you go with old mate,' then joked, 'You still alive?' Mr Baird texted back, 'I sent the message that I showed you and I got a bloody whole written letter back.'

TV star Jesse Baird's final text to celeb cop accused of murdering him

Police have described Baird's relationship with Lamarre-Condon as an 'off and on' romance that ended before Baird began dating flight attendant Luke Davies.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Jesse Baird was never in a relationship with his alleged murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon, says a close friend - who insists the celebrity chaser-turned-cop was infatuated with the Studio 10 presenter and wouldn't take no for an answer.

However, Corey-Dean Thorpe, a good friend of Mr Baird's who was previously in a relationship with him for five years, told Daily Mail Australia this was not true.

He said Lamarre-Condon had feelings for Mr Baird that were not reciprocated, and that Baird was eventually forced to end their friendship when the serving NSW Police officer posted videos on Instagram falsely suggesting they were a couple.

Last November, Mr Thorpe even assisted Mr Baird in drafting a text message to Lamarre-Condon telling the senior constable he had overstepped the boundaries of their friendship and they should no longer see each other.

The text concluded: 'I would appreciate it if you could refrain from contacting me.'

This makes sense. I found it hard to believe he was ever in a relationship with that creep.

I wonder how he had a key to the house, I find that odd if they were not in a relationship. Unless he took a set of the keys without permission and had them cut when they were friends at the time.

He looks really unhappy and trapped. The photo reminds of the one of Katherine Knight and her boyfriend/ future victim.
