Overview
- Victoria Police completed a five-day targeted operation in Mount Buffalo National Park last week, scouring less than one square kilometre with line searches and cave clearances.
- Specialist assets included the drone unit, the dog squad and two NSW Police cadaver dogs, yet no trace of Dezi Freeman was found.
- The investigation has been assigned to Taskforce Summit as police maintain an enhanced presence around the park and local area.
- Detectives have assessed nearly 2,000 intelligence leads with support from hundreds of officers across Victoria, other states and New Zealand.
- A $1 million reward remains available for information leading to Freeman’s arrest, after the August 26 killings of two officers and the serious wounding of a third.
