1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting In with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Overnight, we did get an update on the two bodies

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: of Jessebaard and Luke Davies. They were found at one

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: pm yesterday by police. One man who is down at

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: Bongonia at the moment is Alex Henk's from Channel nine

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: and he joins us now. Alex, thank you very much

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: for your time, buddy.

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: That's all right, good team.

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: Alex. Thank you for joining us and obviously giving us

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: the update and where things are at the moment. Can

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: we go back to yesterday? Can you tell us exactly

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: where the bodies were found and located?

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is really a rural area. This is bush.

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: I guess it's a simple way of putting at tall trees,

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: long grass it is. It is really a back country road.

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: It's just that sort of BUNGANI. I don't know if

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: you guys know this area very well, but it's about

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: in half an hour outside of Golden. Not much traffic

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: coming along this road. The properties are large, but it's

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: been found that they've been found, as we know, in

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: surf board bags, which is just shocking, just along the

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: fence line, just sort of off this road. We know

23
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: that all detectives. They went and questioned, you know, the

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: alleged killer, and he told them where the bodies could

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: be found. And look at it didn't take long. Authorities

26
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: went straight there, located them and then we sort of

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: know the rest, don't we set up? That is the

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: million dollar question. It was only you know, forty eight

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: hours ago we were searching a dam on the other

30
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: side of Bungnia. But as we know, or the theory

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: I guess, is that he dumped the bodies in or

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: around that damn the first search location, then returned several

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: hours later to move them again. So look, it's sort

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: of on the way back towards Sydney from the first

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: location of the second location. So the theory that the authorities

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: are working off that he simply panicks. You've better remember,

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: this alleged killer hasn't had much sleep. He probably hasn't

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: eaten much as well. He's not thinking straight and to

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: sort of panic and scramble. It seems like the way

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: he did displace scend as good as any.

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: It's peace for the families now as well, Alex. That

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: the bodies have been found obviously horrific news, but have

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: you seen any family members arrive on the scene.

44
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we have. It was about eight o'clock last

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: night in a convoy led by police. One of the

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: families arrived. It was a family of Jesse Faird. We

47
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: understand that they went into the crime scene and saw,

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, their loved ones, love loved one's body, which

49
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: is pretty Yeah, it's pretty traumatic, to be honest with

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: you guys. It's crazy stuff. We know that the other

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: family as well, Luke Luke's family, they've been invited. Whether

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: or not they'll take up that invitation, I guess, is

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: still to be finalized. But the bodies have now been

54
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: removed as well. That sort of happened late last night,

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: but forensics and stuff are still on scene.

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: Can I say, Alex, can you tell me? I mean,

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: when we first found out the accused wasn't cooperating with

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: police at all or helping with the investigation, and then

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: you know, he ended up I believe his lawyer, they

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: became president. He was then sort of assisting and helping

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: with police. Was it just for legal reasons or just

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: being a psychopath he didn't want to that's.

63
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: What we've been told. Legal reasons. I don't know. I

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: don't know. Sort of what that means. But we know

65
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: that in some cases because it's obviously you know it's

66
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: a police officer that's been accused of this. He could

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: have been taken and walked through the main yard of

68
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: silver Water and then said, look, if you don't cooperate,

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: this is where you land up. And they don't like cops.

70
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: There's a few theories going around of how detectives do

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: their job, but they've described it as legal reasons, and

72
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: whether that's true or not, I guess it will come

73
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: out in court. But it does seem strange, doesn't It's

74
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: just another one of these questions that really hasn't been

75
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: answered as to why to go to so much effort

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: to sort of cover up your crime, then to hand

77
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: yourself in and then to not cooperate.

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, bit of alex with the families arriving at the

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: scene yesterday where the bodies were found, was that for

80
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: the purpose of the family in peace for the family

81
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: or were they actually required to identify the bodies on site?

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not a requirement. But what essentially happens is

83
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: police give them an invitation. Do you want to come

84
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: to the scene, do you want to see the bodies

85
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: and they can sort of pull out at any stage,

86
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: depending on how they're feeling and how close they want

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: to get that. Yeah, we've been told that Jesse. Jesse's

88
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: family did go in and see the bodies, and but

89
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Luke's family, Yeah, they yet to do that. Well, and

90
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: we know now that the bodies have been merged, so

91
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: they might be doing it later at a police station

92
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: confronting shocking. Yeah it is.

93
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: It's shocking news overnight, but the bodies have been found.
