The development 6 00:00:25,415 --> 00:00:28,135 Speaker 1: comes as police released images from the eighty four year 7 00:00:28,175 --> 00:00:32,095 Speaker 1: old's ring doorbell camera from February first, the day she disappeared. 8 00:00:32,455 --> 00:00:35,214 Speaker 1: The images show a man wearing a balaclaver and gloves 9 00:00:35,214 --> 00:00:37,974 Speaker 1: who appears to be tampering with the camera. It hasn't 10 00:00:38,015 --> 00:00:40,334 Speaker 1: been confirmed whether the man in the images is the 11 00:00:40,375 --> 00:00:43,775 Speaker 1: man who's been taken into custody.

There was speculation 20 00:01:07,295 --> 00:01:10,375 Speaker 1: that Conservative Faction liberal Angus Taylor would step down from 21 00:01:10,375 --> 00:01:12,615 Speaker 1: his role on the front bench today in order to 22 00:01:12,695 --> 00:01:15,815 Speaker 1: launch a challenge against current leader Susan Lee, but sources 23 00:01:15,815 --> 00:01:18,495 Speaker 1: are now saying he will likely make that move tomorrow. 24 00:01:18,695 --> 00:01:21,855 Speaker 1: Party conventions require anyone in a leadership role or the 25 00:01:21,895 --> 00:01:25,135 Speaker 1: shadow ministry to step down from their portfolio before launching 26 00:01:25,175 --> 00:01:27,935 Speaker 1: a challenge.
