Renewed search for Dezi Freeman wraps up without success
A renewed hunt for accused police killer Dezi Freeman has concluded without search crews finding the fugitive.
More than 100 specialist police officers, volunteers and cadaver dogs spent five days combing through the Mount Buffalo National Park this week.
Police determined the search area through intelligence received about a gunshot heard in the region in the hours after the deadly police shooting.

Detectives previously revealed they strongly believe the fugitive is dead, and his remains are in the area.
Freeman has not been seen since August 26, when he is accused of shooting dead two police officers and injuring a third.
Neal Thompson and Vadim De Waart-Hottart were killed by gunfire as a team of police executed a search warrant on Freeman's property on the morning of August 26.
Freeman, a self-declared sovereign citizen who is believed to have been the shooter, fled the property and has not been seen since.
A Victorian-first $1 million bounty has been offered for information leading to his arrest.
