Police said today they are believed to have found the remains of Baird and Davies Stuffed into two surf bags at one remote place in Bungonia160 km south of Sydney.
Beau Lamarre-Condon, 28, who was previously in a relationship Bairdturned himself in to the police on Friday and had been accused of two murders.
The accused killer refused to cooperate with police, but eventually revealed where he left the couple’s bodies.
However, one further disturbing update the case came today.
Baird is said to have told his friends that one night last year – about six months ago – he woke up and saw a gloomy figure next to his bed. 9 News reported.
It is understood the former Channel Ten presenter did not report the chilling incident to police.
Police believe Baird and Senior Constable Lamarre-Condon were still seeing each other at the time it occurred.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Dave Hudson said: “There has been activity reported at that house which in retrospect appears suspicious.
“But at that time, in August last year, I understand they were still in a relationship.”
Police have been searching for Baird and Davies around the clock since last Monday, when multiple gunshots were heard at Baird’s property in suburban Sydney.
Blood-covered clothing was found in a bin and a bullet cartridge was found at the scene.
Police now believe they have recovered their rubble-covered remains from a second property in rural Bungonia near Goulburn – more than 180km from where the couple was said to have been murdered in Paddington.
Police found the remains in two surfboard bags, along with “other items of interest.”
Investigators allege Lamarre-Condon killed the new couple in Baird’s shared home using his force-issued gun after his relationship with the TV host “didn’t end well.”
They also claim that the accused killer then rented a white van to dispose of their bodies.
“Today we believe we have located two bodies at that location,” NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb told reporters.
“The families have been informed. We are confident we have found Luke and Jesse.”
She added: “Every day, every hour was an agonizing wait. So I’m relieved for the families… That’s what parents want, they want to know where their kids are.”
Chief Inspector Daniel Doherty said: “There appears to have been an attempt to cover the bodies with stones and rubble.”
The bodies were found “at the entrance of the [Bungonia] property” – 20 minutes from the original search location, DS Doherty added.
Baird’s family looked somber today, hiding their faces as they arrived at the crime scene in two cars.
His devastated loved ones spent half an hour at the site where the remains were found.
Lamarre-Condon will remain in custody until he appears in court on April 23 as police continue to investigate.
Baird’s terrifying final Instagram post before his death, he and Davies pretended to be a happy couple during a performance just days before their alleged double murder.
The grinning young couple were dressed in matching pink outfits during Pink’s Summer Carnival Tour in Sydney.
Baird also posted a video of himself dancing and singing in the rain.
Heartbroken friends of Baird have now shared a tribute to the former presenter in the comments below, which became his final post.
One said: “My heart is broken. Such a talented, kind, smart, funny, positive, intuitive person who changed my life the day you contacted me to appear on studio ten.
“I am so sorry to hear the devastating news.”
Another wrote: “This is so devastating. My love goes out to all of these two’s loved ones. It breaks my heart.”
