Last night, police concluded their investigation at the Thologolong property where a double police murderer met his end in a hail of bullets on Monday.
For three days, detectives and forensic teams meticulously searched the expansive 35-hectare estate, seeking any evidence that might reveal if the fugitive had received assistance during his seven-month evasion from law enforcement.
Now that the crime scene has been cleared and secured, new aerial photographs starkly reveal the dismal conditions in which Freeman had been surviving.
On a makeshift table next to a portable stove and a dirty dish, two pairs of sunglasses—similar to those Freeman had been seen wearing in past images—were found.
Bullet holes riddled a small boat situated behind a container, suggesting the fierce conclusion of Freeman’s final confrontation.
Two large gas cylinders and a kitchen sink, featuring a drying rack with crockery and pots, suggest someone had been living in the shipping container, or intended to stay, for a prolonged period.
Also of interest to police were several chairs dotted across the front of the container, including two positioned side-by-side.
Police left behind fingerprint dustings from several items of interest, which will be tested in the hopes it will help detectives track down Freeman’s associates.
It’s unknown whether the set-up, or any of the items on the property were owned by Freeman, were transported there by an associate, or belonged to the owner of the property.
Those are questions police are hoping to get answers to when the property’s owner, who has been living in Tasmania for several months, returns to Thologolong in the next few days.
