Porepunkah shooting: Two officers dead and another wounded after shooting at High Country property, Victoria, Australia #2

[BreakingNews]

It's interesting that no one has put their hand out for the reward yet. Maybe no one is harbouring him. Mali and the eldest son seem the obvious ones who may know something. If I was Mali, I'd be cashing in and starting a new life. Surely they all fled the caravan at the same time. I still don't understand how they weren't seen leaving. 10 police, surely the place would have been surrounded. MOO

Jumping in and thanks to everyone for the updates.

Still hoping D. Freeman is caught soon with no other loss of innocent life.
Maybe if and when he's captured he should change his surname to 'Jail-man' ?
I know... silly.
Seriously, he comes across as evil to the core and somewhat deranged as well.
A dangerous combination.
Omo.

Exactly right and if police thought that way when they went to his bus with a search warrant then imo none of this would be happening.

I wonder if the police will keep a constant eye on Mali. I suspect if they are bugging her phone etc then they'll only have a warrant to do that for a limited amount of time. Perhaps there was some sort of arrangement to meet at a certain place on a certain day in the future?

Do we know if Mali wasn't seen when she and children fled the scene of the shooting? I'd find it very hard to believe that the police didn't know where she and the children went. They weren't exactly hiding when they were arrested.

When the call was made for the family to hand themselves in, Mali called in to the police station on the day of the shooting. The police then they released her only to have her arrested a night or two later and I would have thought that would have been after they bugged the place she was staying in. Then they said they'd let her go and might charge her with something later. IMO it seems to me like the whole Freeman family are smarter than the police.
I don't think the police knew where any of them went after the shooting and that simply beggars belief.

I highly doubt they didn't know where she went, personally. Possibly rather perplexed that she and the children would run away and not offer any assistance.

I wouldn't have thought the Freeman family are smarter than the Police. My opinion is the opposite. The Police are looking for someone that has killed two people who reacted in a way that i would consider to be the opposite to being smart. Mali has also acted in a way that i would consider to be the opposite to smart.

MOO

Police have deployed nearly 100 extra officers to conduct an “additional sweep” of bushland in Mount Buffalo

The latest search at Mount Buffalo comes a day after police converged on a property in Goomalibee – an hour west of Porepunkah – and intercepted a man in the town of Undera, a further 80 kilometres west.

Both the property and the man intercepted were cleared of involvement in the Freeman case.

Police said Thursday’s operation at Mount Buffalo involved specialist search dogs from Queensland Police.

Hmm, I thought they'd already been using dogs? I wonder what kind of specialist search dogs? Cadaver dogs?
