Concern over missing Sydney TV presenter and partner

Police are concerned for the safety of a missing Sydney TV presenter and partner after blood-stained clothes belonging to them were found in a bin.

Blood-stained clothes belonging to the missing couple were found in a bin and police are worried for their safety.

A 28-year-old police officer has been accused of murdering Australian TV personality Jesse Baird and his partner Luke Davies, who have been reported missing. Detectives initiated an urgent search after discovering the couple’s bloodied belongings in a trash bin near Sydney.

Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, identified as Baird’s former partner, was being pursued by authorities and surrendered himself on Friday.

Detectives have yet to locate the bodies of the victims or determine the cause of death. According to police, they allege that the couple was slain inside Jesse Baird’s residence in Paddington, an inner suburb of Sydney, on Monday, after which their bodies were transported using a white van.

Witnesses informed investigators of hearing “shouting” and a “verbal altercation” on that morning, and CCTV footage captured the rented van at the scene later in the day. The van was discovered in southern Sydney on Friday morning.

New South Wales Police reported finding a bullet matching Beaumont Lamarre-Condon’s service weapon at the Paddington crime scene, along with a “significant” amount of blood and disturbed furniture.

Although Lamarre-Condon failed to report to work on Tuesday, his service weapon was later located in a police station safe, stated Det Supt Daniel Doherty during a press briefing.

Additionally, police recovered blood-stained clothing, a phone, and credit cards from an industrial bin in Cronulla, 28km (17 miles) from the crime scene, along with various items from a residence in Balmain.

Det Supt Doherty mentioned that Beaumont Lamarre-Condon is suspected of having traveled to Newcastle, located 170km north of the crime scene, following the alleged homicides.

Detective Superintendent Doherty stated that the information gathered from Beaumont Lamarre-Condon thus far has “not assisted” the investigation, while tips from the public have proven to be invaluable. He reiterated the appeal for anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing the importance of locating the bodies not only for determining the cause of death but also for providing answers to the grieving family.

Mr. Baird had served as a presenter and red carpet reporter on Network 10’s morning show Studio 10 until its cancellation in December, while Mr. Davies worked as a flight attendant for Qantas. Their social media accounts, filled with cheerful photos, have been inundated with condolences since their disappearance.

Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, who joined the police force in 2019, previously worked as a celebrity blogger, boasting encounters with stars like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Miley Cyrus. His interactions with celebrities were highlighted in Australian media, including a magazine feature questioning if he was “Australia’s biggest fan?”

Detective Superintendent Doherty refrained from specifying a motive for the alleged crimes but noted that the police officer’s relationship with Jesse Baird had ended “a couple of months ago,” which is a significant line of inquiry.

Beaumont Lamarre-Condon was denied bail and appeared in court on Friday afternoon.

It’s a really worrying situation and I know a lot of people in the community are hoping for their safe return. The police are actively searching for them, and there’s been an outpouring of support on social media to help spread the word. It’s times like these when coming together as a community makes all the difference. Let’s keep our thoughts with their friends and family, and hope for a positive outcome. If you have any information that could help, please reach out to the authorities. Stay safe and look out for one another. Take care, everyone.
