Daniel Paul Heazlewood lived a wealthy lifestyle, wore a $10,000 designer watch, dated women at expensive restaurants and learned to fly planes on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Apart from his job as a roofer, no one really knew where the money came from, nor did they know the horrifying secret of Heazlewood and the life he had left behind 200km away on the Gold Coast.

Heazlewood had changed his name to Daniel Blake and wanted to charm women with the rules he had written in a “What Dating Dan Looks Like” list on a whiteboard.

The list included candlelit baths, beach trips in a 4WD, kissing and ‘biting… often’ and ‘any sex ranging from passionate to rough (high sex drive, lasts a long time)’.

His dating guide worked, and women thought “he seemed like the guy who had it all.”

‘He was muscular, neatly dressed and always had cash on him. Would eat and drink,” an acquaintance told Daily Mail Australia.

The truth about who he really was only fully emerged on Australia Day, when Heazlewood allegedly lost control and brandished a crowbar at one of his friends.

The police were called. It was not until almost a month later that a warrant for his arrest culminated in an appearance before the Maroochydore Magistrates Court and he was taken back into custody.

In reality, the ‘romantic’ tradie was a convicted murderer who took his own mother’s life because he was ashamed that she was a ‘bogan’. He then bought a shovel from Bunnings and put her body in the boot of his car, a court heard.

He was caught murdering his mother, Linda Sidon, only nine years after her death in 2009, and has never been able to say exactly where he dumped her body in the scrubland of the Numinbah Valley, southwest of the Gold Coast.

After serving just 29 months behind bars, Heazlewood left prison, changed his name and started a new life on the Sunshine Coast where, until his final arrest, few who knew him realized he was an ex-con who was on parole for manslaughter and interference with his mother’s corpse.

Now Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal Heazlewood is back in a Queensland prison, and friends have shared what could be the 37-year-old’s sinister secret about how he killed his mother.

Heazlewood is currently in custody at the Brisbane Correctional Center on the crowbar charge and is believed to have breached his parole for the charge relating to his mother’s death, which is only expiring April 2025.

He is due to appear in court early next month on one charge of ‘going armed to cause fear’.

Heazlewood murdered his mother when he was 22 years old in the Ashmore, Gold Coast duplex they shared on or about June 20, 2009.

He then kept it a secret for years, as if she had returned to her native New Zealand.

After killing her in what detectives initially described as murder, he bought agricultural lime in an attempt to decompose her flesh and bones because he had seen it ‘in a film’, a court heard.

He then drove 36 km to Pine Creek Road in the Numinbah Forest and dug a shallow grave in a creek or waterhole.

It wasn’t until 2018 that he would admit to police that he killed his mother, but he claimed it was in self-defense, resulting in a minimum sentence of just four years and nine months.

In a police interview he said his mother had come at him with a butter knife during a fight and “I had my forearm like around her neck and we were arguing and then she stopped moving,” the court was told.

Heazlewood was eligible for parole and walked out of prison in February 2021, first to the Brisbane suburb of Carina and then to Maroochydore.

He told people who befriended him on Instagram that the reason he only had about 30 followers is because he had just moved from the Gold Coast and was “starting over”, laughing off a new friend’s question when he was just in had been in prison. .

He started taking flying lessons and boasted about his intention to become a pilot.

One of his new friends revealed that the killer had a phobia of drowning, to the point that he couldn’t watch movies with drowning scenes.

He blamed his mother for the phobia, saying she made him watch a drowning video.

But one of the people he befriended said they suspected there was another reason: that instead of his armed mother dying in battle, he had “drowned” her and left her in the water in the undergrowth abandoned.

‘I can’t help but have a bad feeling about it. I believe it is something sinister,” the friend said.

When authorities searched parts of the 116 square kilometer Numinbah Valley for Ms Sidon’s body following Heazlewood’s confession, they concluded it might never be found due to the fact that water levels had risen and her bones might have been washed away.

Heazlewood dated several women after his release from prison but proved “incredibly toxic” and was “emotionally abusive and manipulative”, they said.

When new friends eventually found out Daniel’s real name and Googled him, he admitted to killing his mother but made excuses.

One woman “went home and couldn’t stop vomiting,” but took pity on him after he told a story about “being abused as a child by both his mother and father, in and out of foster care.”

However, Heazlewood’s stories of an abusive childhood do not fit the narrative and Ms Sidon’s family said he was never in foster care.

Mrs. Sidon, a 46-year-old cleaning lady, continued to house, feed and care for her son even as he grew up and began to despise her.

As a man in his early twenties, he boasted to friends that it would be “so easy to break her neck” and denigrated his mother as “a bogan, a whore and a ***.”

Ms Sidon had told her father in New Zealand that Heazlewood had ‘beat her up a lot’, and it was he who informed New Zealand authorities of her disappearance in late 2010.

Police charged Heazlewood with murder in 2015, but reduced the charge to manslaughter in 2018. was convicted by the Supreme Court of Queensland.

He served only 29 months in prison.

He faces a possible maximum sentence of two years if found guilty of the charges related to the alleged crowbar incident.

Coronation Street has cast Absolutely Fabulous actress Helen Lederer in a guest role as the love interest of the show’s oldest character, Ken Barlow.

Known as once the greatest lothario (Bill Roache) and desperate to prove he can still conquer the ladies at the age of 91, Ken takes up speed dating.

After being single for almost a decade following the death of his beloved wife Deirdre in 2015, he catches the eye of fellow dater Elspeth (played by comedian Helen, 69).

Ken attends the speed dating event with ex-son-in-law Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and leaves the taxi company owner devastated when, despite his advanced age, he manages to outdo him in the romance department.

Speaking about the role, Helen, who will be released on Wednesday, March 27, described her character as ‘progressive and sassy’.

She also admitted that one of the biggest benefits of playing the role was the opportunity to act opposite Bill, who has appeared on the soap since the first episode in 1960.

Saying: ‘I had met him once before when I was sitting next to him at an event and I thought what a lovely man he was and so handsome. So it was a joy for me to be offered this short role.”

And despite only appearing briefly, Helen teased that Ken had taken Elspeth’s number during their scenes and that she could very well return to the soap if he called.

As well as playing Catriona in Ab Fab, the actress has also appeared in Hollyoaks, Celebrity Big Brother and Agatha Christie’s Marple.

It comes after the actor was given a three-month deadline to pay off his huge tax debt, making ‘property sales’ possible on Monday.

William reportedly earns £250,000 a year playing Ken Barlow in the long-running soap, but has racked up half a million in debt to the tax authorities.

He struck a deal to settle the £588,015.18 bill in 2018, but according to reports last month he has only paid £41,666.65 so far.

Bill wants to sell some property to pay off debts The sun reported in February that a potential buyer had pulled out of a deal.

The High Court has now granted him a twelve-week extension to ‘enable the sale of property’.

Bill failed to appear at a specialist hearing, where HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) lawyers said the amount the actor owes – which was not disclosed in court – has been reduced as a result of payments made.

Jacquille Jarrett, for HMRC, said Bill had requested a twelve-week adjournment, which was unopposed, to ‘allow the sale of property’.

Retired Insolvency and Companies Court judge Stephen Baister approved the adjournment and said Bill’s case will return in June.

“Wonderful,” Dr Baister said at the end of the hearing, which lasted less than a minute, at the High Court in London.

Bill is best known for his portrayal of Ken Barlow in the ITV soap for more than 60 years after making his debut in the first episode in 1960.

He has been married three times during his sex decades on the show, with Deirdre (Anne Kirbride) being the most memorable.

They first married in 1981 and their relationship was rocky, to say the least.

Shortly after first tying the knot, Deirdre had an affair with Mike Baldwin (played by Johnny Briggs) after finding Ken boring.

And although the relationship miraculously survived, it soon came to a devastating end when Ken had an affair with his secretary Wendy Cozier (Roberta Kerr) in 1989.

They divorced in the 1980s but remarried in 2005, which ended tragically after her off-screen death in 2015, in the wake of actress Anne Kirkbride’s death.

Before Deirdre, Ken was briefly married to Janet (Judith Barker) in 1973.

After the death of his first wife, Ken married Janet shortly thereafter so that his twins would have a loving mother.

But the pair were often at odds, with Janet not keen on having the children at home and also disappointed by Ken’s lack of ambition.

In 1977, Janet showed up on Ken’s doorstep and asked him to take her back, but he refused, leading to her committing suicide.

Valerie (Anne Reid) was Ken’s first wife and mother of Peter (Chris Gascoyne) and Susan (Joanna Foster).

They married in 1962 and were in love until her devastating accidental death in 1971.

Ken then agreed to teach in Jamaica and the family prepared to emigrate.

While getting ready for her own going away party, Valerie was electrified by a faulty hairdryer.

Bill, who holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s longest-serving TV soap star, was inducted into the Queen’s New Year Honors list in December 2021 for his services to drama and charity.

Kristen Stewart has become more comfortable over the years now that her dating life is public.

The actress recalls struggling during her first high-profile romance with Twilight Co-star Robert Pattinson.

“I wasn’t hiding anything. I didn’t talk about my first relationships becoming public because I wanted things that are mine to be mine,” she told the newspaper Sunday Times in March 2017. “I hated how details of my life were turned into commodities and sold around the world. But with so many eyes on me, I suddenly realized [my private life] affects a larger number of people than just me. It was a chance to give up a piece of what was mine, to make even one other person feel good about themselves.”

She was later linked to model Stella Maxwell before she got engaged to a screenwriter Dylan Meijer in 2020.

The Oscar-nominated actress discussed how dating in the public eye affected her journey with her sexuality.

“The first time I went out with a girl, I was immediately asked if I was a lesbian. And it’s like, ‘God, I’m 21 years old.’ I felt like maybe there were things that hurt people I’ve been with. Not because I was ashamed of being openly gay, but because I didn’t like giving myself to the public in some way. It felt like such a theft. This was a period where I was quite reserved,” Stewart explained In style in November 2020. “Even in my previous relationships, which were straight, we made every effort not to be photographed doing things – things that weren’t going to be ours. So I think the added pressure of representing a group of people, of representing queerness, was something I didn’t understand at the time. Only now can I see it.”

Joey Laurens is just like Us when it comes to rooting for his brother Matthew Laurens and girlfriend Chili‘s romance continues.

“I just want him to be happy,” Joey, 47, shared exclusively We weekly from Matthew, 44, on Friday, March 15, as he continued his partnership with Listerine for its Clinical Solutions line.

Joey commented that he wants his youngest brother, Andrew “Andy” Lawrencealso ‘be happy’, and shares that Matthew already has that with Chilli (real name Rozonda Thomas).

“Matt is happy and that makes me happy. And that’s exactly what it is. It really doesn’t go any deeper than that,” Joey explained. “But it’s cool to see them together and they have something really cool, so we’ll see what happens.”

The Brother love alum told Us that he’s “definitely” excited to see Matthew lean into this new chapter in his life. Matthew was first linked to Chilli, 53, in January 2023 after spending the holidays together in late 2022.

“It’s all about just trying to be happy. You have to be with the right person,” Joey said, adding that he has been “married a billion times” because he is a “hopeless romantic.” (Joey married Samantha Cope in May 2022 after divorce from wife Chandie Yawn Nelson in July 2020.)

He hinted that even if things don’t work out, like Matthew’s almost three-year marriage to Cheryl Burkewhich ended in January 2022, you have to keep trying.

“You feel sad when something doesn’t work, but you know you should be happy,” Joey said Us, and repeats: ‘You want them to be happy, you just want to be happy. And life is short.”

Although Joey knows a lot about the lives of his siblings, he said working with them on their “Brotherly Love” podcast was eye-opening at times. “We haven’t worked together like this in a while, and it’s been a lot of fun,” he said.

“We talk about all kinds of things, things that we wouldn’t really talk about in normal life, and we get sucked into conversations, depending on the guest, about things that we wouldn’t talk about,” Joey continued. “There is no spin and there is no filter. And I think that’s what people enjoyed the most.”

Authenticity is something Joey strives to bring to all of his ventures, including his recent partnership with Listerine Clinical Solutions.

“I’m that guy who uses the electric toothbrush, then I floss, and then I use Listerine,” Joey said Us about his dental routine, explaining that after he talked about Listerine on his family’s podcast, the company contacted him and told him about their newest product.

Listerine Clinical Solutions was developed by dentists to “address and help prevent the most important oral health problems,” according to the brand. Joey, for his part, has started using Listerine Clinical Solutions Antiseptic Gum Healthwhich made him say ‘Wow’, just like his Blossom character did it week after week in the ’90s.

“In a week. It felt better,” Joey said Us of his gum health. “And the first time I used it, no joke, I mean it sounds cheesy and [like] I made it up, but it’s true. I looked at myself and thought, ‘Wow, that works.’ It felt better.”

He revealed: “I don’t do this a lot. I don’t like brands and lines, but this was so real and so organic, and it’s real because I used it. My kids use it. … It just made perfect sense.”

Valerie Bertinelli has a new man in her life.

Saget shared three daughters, Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer, with his ex-wife, screenwriter Sherri Kramer.

Speaking to those who may have been dealing with the same “incredibly complex, difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that are emerging throughout this process,” she said, “there is absolutely no room for judgment.”

‘Everyone experiences it differently, and it is very personal. Whether someone moves on a month later or ten years later, it doesn’t take away from the love and relationship you had with your partner.’

She later opened up about her relationship with Meyer.

The pair made their debut as a couple at a Grammys viewing party in February.

“I was worried about how I was going to move on and find someone who appreciates what I’ve been through and understands that Bob will always be a part of my life,” she explained.

Although she didn’t mention Meyer by name, she said, “I’m very fortunate that I was able to find someone who has room for that, who appreciates it and gets it, and who is strong enough and confident enough to know that Bob will always be . part of my life’.

She said the Happily actor, a divorced father of two adult daughters, “always asks questions about it [Saget] and keeps him part of the conversation, and that means so much to me, because I knew I was going to have to find someone who just got it.”
