Fugitive Found Dead in Australian Nature Reserve
Police say forensic testing linked the decomposed remains to the suspected triple killer, while a firearm and the vehicle are being examined.
- On Monday, May 11, 2026, National Parks and Wildlife Service personnel discovered an abandoned ute containing a decomposed body in Roundhill Nature Reserve, ending a 109-day manhunt for 37-year-old Julian Ingram.
- The manhunt began after January 22, 2026, when Ingram allegedly shot dead Sophie Quinn, John Harris, and Nerida Quinn in Lake Cargelligo; he was on bail for domestic violence at the time.
- Investigators confirmed the vehicle belonged to Ingram, locating his driver's licence inside the ute. Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland stated a large calibre firearm and shotgun were recovered near the body.
- Local priest Father Paul Kumasaka said residents are "relieved from the uncertainty," with the discovery ending months of anxiety in Lake Cargelligo and providing long-awaited closure to the community.
- Police will conduct a post-mortem in Newcastle on Friday, May 15, 2026, to determine the cause of death, while Strike Force Doberta reviews whether the discovery site was missed during the 109-day search.
