Overview
- Victoria Police said briefs of evidence against the trio were not authorised after an independent review found insufficient proof to proceed.
- A 42-year-old woman and a 56-year-old man from Porepunkah were interviewed on suspicion of indictable obstruction of police, and a third person was questioned over an alleged attempted theft.
- Taskforce Summit continues to lead the investigation and search operations, with a sustained police presence in Porepunkah and Mount Buffalo National Park.
- Freeman, 56, disappeared after two officers were fatally shot and a third was injured during an August 26 search warrant at a Rayner Track property.
- Police have said they strongly believe Freeman may be dead, yet a reward of up to $1 million remains for information leading to his arrest, and the public is urged to call 000 or contact Crime Stoppers Victoria with tips.
