Police Continue Nationwide Hunt for Dezi Freeman After Rural Shootings

Police continue their extensive manhunt for Dezi Freeman, accused of killing two police officers and injuring another near Porepunkah in Victoria. Despite lifting travel restrictions to allow residents to return to normal, authorities remain vigilant and active in searching the rugged terrain, including caves, rivers, and plantations. A new theory, prompted by Freeman's own YouTube videos showing him kayaking on the Buckland River, suggests he may have escaped using a kayak, leading police to expand their search to this area. Investigators are also focusing on a secretive hideout known as 'Buffalo Creek' in the Mount Buffalo region, a location not found on maps and known only through a single photograph and social media posts. Police have offered a $1 million reward and have not ruled out any possibilities regarding Freeman’s status, including whether he is still alive or being harbored. The search involves multiple state and national police forces, reflecting the serious nature of the pursuit.
