Fresh Tests Done in Hunt for Dezi Freeman
Police investigate whether a gunshot near Rayner Track was fired by officers or another source as community seeks clarity in ongoing search for Dezi Freeman.
- On November 5, Victoria Police conducted firearm testing near Barrett Lane and Rayner Track after reports of a single gunshot about 11.45am and urged anyone who heard it to come forward.
- Police say the report follows an August incident when a single gunshot was heard near Dezi Freeman's Rayner Track property shortly after he allegedly killed two officers.
- Authorities have extensively searched dense bushland between the Buckland River and Mount Buffalo but found no trace of Mr Freeman, and a $1 million reward remains on offer for information.
- The community reacted with renewed grief as the sound of shots and police roadblocks reminded residents of Porepunkah and Bright still mourning Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Vadim de Waart-Hottart.
- The $2.5 million support package exists but strict eligibility left many Alpine region businesses unable to access aid despite 24 grants being awarded so far.
