Overview
- Ingram remains at large as specialist teams continue a wide-area search around Lake Cargelligo and Mount Hope in extreme heat.
- Police confirmed a reported sighting at a rural property about 3 kilometres south of Mount Hope on Kidman Way during the night of January 24–25.
- Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland ordered a level two critical-incident investigation into police handling, bail decisions, and how Ingram accessed firearms, led by the Homicide Squad with LECC oversight.
- Court records show an officer granted Ingram bail in November despite noting safety risks, with CCTV later showing him reporting to the station on January 22 under bail conditions.
- Police believe he still has access to vehicles and outside assistance, warn they will prosecute anyone helping him, and a surviving victim has detailed ongoing nerve injuries and travel needs for treatment.
