Police Probe Trespass After Video From Dezi Freeman Hideout Surfaces

The upload renews scrutiny of the case, raising concerns about trespass and evidence.

Overview

  • Victoria Police confirmed late Monday they are investigating an April 16 trespass after a YouTube video showed people inside the Thologolong site where Freeman was found.
  • The Chaos Chronicles channel posted the interior footage, which drew tens of thousands of views, and the filmer says he entered to retrieve a drone that crashed on the private property.
  • The video shows a rough setup with vitamins, methylated spirits, a battery and generator linked to solar panels, bedding and clothes, a heater and a wind‑up radio, and the filmer complained of a strong chemical smell from gas used during the March 30 siege.
  • The property owner denies any link to Freeman and is not suspected, a source close to him told the ABC they are weighing legal action over the trespass, and Victoria’s premier said the filming hurts the slain officers’ families.
  • Separate police inquiries continue into how Freeman stayed hidden for about seven months and whether he had help, and a former homicide detective noted police have limited control once a crime scene is handed back to the owner.
