Three days after Jesse Baird and Luke Davies died, a friend says Beau Lamarre-Condon arrived at her home in tears and told her he’d come to say goodbye.
Later that night, she says she watched him scrub a van, as he told her there was blood he couldn’t get off.
In this episode Wayne is joined by court reporter Charlotte Karp to unpack Fiona Rosso’s testimony, the messages and voice notes Beau sent to a man he’d met on Hinge, and how a detail he remembered from a country road helped detectives finally find Jesse and Luke.
Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one count of aggravated break and enter. His defence says the men were fatally shot during separate struggles involving his police-issued gun.

Erin Patterson has lost her bid to overturn her murder convictions, and instead will now serve life without parole.
Victoria’s Court of Appeal rejected her challenge to the verdicts, including arguments over the jury’s accommodation and the evidence used against her. However, the prosecutors succeeded in their motion for a tougher sentence, resulting in her 33-year non-parole period being removed.
In this episode, Wayne and Caroline examine why Erin Patteson’s appeal failed, and look at what this means for the mushroom killer.

A friend of Beau Lamarre-Condon has told the court that the former police officer arrived outside his work and told him he had killed two people, before asking him to help clean up.
But in a secretly recorded prison conversation played to the jury, Lamarre-Condon challenged his friend’s account, saying he had misheard him.
In this episode, Wayne and Stephen examine the friend’s testimony about the months before and days after Jesse Baird and Luke Davies died, including claims that he watched Lamarre-Condon fire his gun in the Royal National Park, and that he searched for somewhere to dispose of bloody clothes. However, the defence challenged the friend’s memory, credibility and understanding of what happened. The friend denied giving false evidence.
Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one count of aggravated break and enter. His defence maintains that Jesse and Luke died during separate struggles involving his police-issued gun.

Jesse Baird’s housemates thought it was strange when two surfboard bags appeared in their backyard. They didn’t open the bags, and believed the pool of red liquid may have been a mixture of water and rust from the outdoor furniture.

The surfboard bags stayed in the backyard overnight. When the housemates checked the following morning, they were gone.

Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder and one of aggravated break and enter. His defence says that Jesse and Luke both died in separate struggles involving Beau Lamarre-Condon’s police issued gun.
