Fugitive Freeman: Rambo of the High Country?
24 Nov
Summary
- Freeman vowed he would do anything rather than be caught by police.
- He told his wife he would see her in heaven before fleeing.
- Police are conducting the largest tactical operation in Australian history.
It has been 90 days since Dezi Freeman allegedly killed two police officers and a third was injured during a warrant service at his property. Freeman, compared to Rambo, has become a ghost in the high country as a massive manhunt enters its third month, with no confirmed sightings since August 26.
Freeman had previously vowed he would 'do anything rather than be caught by police' and even suggested suicide if cornered. As he fled, he reportedly told his wife, 'I'll see you in heaven,' before disappearing into the dense bushland near Mount Buffalo. Police are conducting the largest tactical operation in Australian history to find him.
A $1 million reward remains for information leading to his arrest. Despite extensive searches of caves, mine shafts, and rugged terrain, his whereabouts are unknown. Speculation about his fate ranges from suicide to being harbored, but authorities are pursuing all leads in this challenging investigation.
