Police allege that after Lamarre-Condon rented the white van, he drove it to the Sutherland Shire and threw some of the dead men’s belongings into the skip bin not far from Cronulla police station. He did not report for duty on Tuesday or Wednesday. Baird’s friends also claim they were receiving texts from Baird’s phone until well after 11pm on Tuesday, suggesting, police believe, that Lamarre-Condon may have kept and used his phone. Police believe Lamarre-Condon may have been hiding at a relative’s house in Balmain until news of the deaths started breaking on Thursday afternoon.
