Former Channel Ten red-carpet reporter Jesse Baird and his partner Luke Davies have been missing since Monday, last seen in Sydney's upscale Paddington area.
The footage shows Luke, 29, and Jesse, 26, entering their AUS$3 million (£1.56 million) terrace home on Brown Street, believed to be the last sighting of them.
Police have identified Constable Beau Lamarre, a celebrity blogger turned cop, who had a past relationship with one of the missing men, as a person of interest. Lamarre, currently on sick leave and having deleted his Instagram account, has not been located.
Concerns have been raised by Luke's friends about potential stalking by another individual.
Lamarre, known for mingling with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez, joined the New South Wales police force in 2019.
Just a year into his job, a video surfaced of the cop tasering a man in the face during an intense arrest, despite his mother's former senior position in the force. He was later cleared by an internal investigation.
The celebrity chaser mentioned he was undergoing VIP protection training with NSW police. On February 15, he was spotted driving a grey Tesla in Sydney's east, following Kourtney Kardashian.
Lamarre gained attention after coming out as gay at a Lady Gaga concert in 2014, when he threw her a note on stage. Gaga read it aloud, revealing his sexuality to the crowd of 15,000, and later invited him backstage.
Following the discovery of a pile of bloodied clothes in Cronulla, Sydney, police launched a manhunt for the missing couple.
Detective Superintendent Jodi Radmore informed reporters today that blood, along with blood-stained furniture, was discovered at the property by the New South Wales police.
The amount of blood found suggested a significant or major injury had occurred.
Neighbors reported hearing shouting from the rented Paddington terrace early Monday morning, but this information was only relayed to the police on Wednesday.
Radmore explained that witnesses reported a verbal argument, which was not reported to the police initially but was mentioned during police canvassing.
Among bloodied clothes in a skip in Cronulla, credit cards, wallets, a mobile phone, and an $8000 watch were found. Additionally, three cars belonging to the men have been seized, and their bank accounts have remained untouched since the weekend.
While police are exploring all leads, they express grave concerns for the safety of both men. Continue reading
