VICTORIA Police have completed a five-day targeted search of Mount Buffalo National Park in the continued hunt for fugitive Desmond Freeman but found no trace of him. Taskforce Summit detectives, supported by specialist units, searched nearly one square kilometre of dense bushland, conducting line searches and clearing caves for evidence or Freeman’s body.
Freeman is wanted over the murders of two Victoria Police officers. Since August, hundreds of officers and more than 1,950 intelligence leads have been involved in the search. Police urge anyone who sees Freeman to call triple zero. A $1 million reward remains on offer.
