A man will be questioned by police investigating slain cop killer Dezi Freeman's time on the run, following an early morning interstate search operation.
Freeman triggered one of Australia's largest manhunts after he killed Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart and Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson at his home at Porepunkah, in Victoria's High Country, in August 2025.
The 56-year-old fled the scene and evaded capture until he was traced to a remote property about 150km away at Thologolong, near the Victoria-NSW border, in March, when he was shot and killed by police.
On Tuesday, Victoria Police executed search warrants at three rural properties at Buckland, Stanley and Lucyvale, in regional Victoria, shortly after 6.20am.
At the same time NSW Police executed warrants at four residential properties at Greenwich Park, Tarlo, Wombeyan Caves and Umina Beach.
