“Police involved in the massive manhunt for fugitive Dezi Freeman believe he is very much alive and has left Victoria.”

“Daily Mail can now reveal officers involved in the initial search for Freeman in the wilderness have been told by force command they believe the fugitive escaped the initial police dragnet.

'He got away. The belief is he somehow escaped and is now holed up safely across the border,' a source said.

While it remains unclear what state police believe Freeman may be hiding in, it has long been feared he received help from supporters in the days and weeks following the tragedy. “

Imagine the State of Victoria spending all of that money and they still have nothing...

Imagine the State of Victoria spending all of that money and they still have nothing...

Exactly. Right or wrong, this search will cost Victorian taxpayers.

It would be very sad if finding a cop killer became all about money.

It is Filby's fault that the money needs to be spent.
Not that he cares about that, having likely accepted govt payments (tax payer money) for years while railing against the govt.

Bombshell revelations about Dezi cop killings​

“Bombshell new details have emerged of the moment Dezi Freeman escaped and the tragic final moments of two police officers he shot dead.

The Australian has reported an eyewitness account allegedly recorded by Freeman’s middle child that revealed how it all went down on the Freeman’s family’s Hino bus on August 26.

“We have a search warrant,’’ an officer shouts, referring to an alleged child sex offence.

“Can you please not barge in? I have a kid, please,” Freeman’s wife, Amalia – or “Mali” – pleads as cops tell Freeman, 56, to come out.

The recording shows they used a crowbar to try to force their way in as Freeman yells at police to stop.

Three family members, including a young child, are trapped in the bus as the shouting ensues for close to 30 minutes.

In a final act, Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson, 59, throws his body, feet-first, into the upper part of the door.

He is shot dead along with his colleague Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart, 35.

Freeman also points a homemade shotgun at a fourth officer, but the weapon misfires.

His family scatter after a third officer is hit. They are shaken up but ultimately make it to Porepunkah after being picked up near the orchard.

The third officer cowers, wounded, under the bus, as the remaining seven police scan the scene.

Freeman escapes carrying a police handgun, and possibly two other weapons including a makeshift shotgun.”
