Overview

  • On June 12, police executed a search warrant at a Dandenong property, seizing multiple mobile phones for forensic examination.
  • Investigators are pressing an anonymous caller who provided a pseudonym to contact Crime Stoppers with further information.
  • In April, Victoria Police released a digital composite of a suspect’s face after reviewing CCTV of two men fleeing the Truganina scene in a dark SUV.
  • Police believe the January firebombing that killed Tangey, 27, and her family’s golden retriever was a case of mistaken identity tied to the illicit tobacco dispute.
  • Detective Inspector Chris Murray said the inquiry is solvable and authorities are moving closer to identifying those responsible.
