Dezi Freeman: The Hunt | Ep 3 | The force that never gave up
Description
The hunt for Dezi Freeman wasn’t just a manhunt. It was a battle on hostile ground.
Police moved into a community that didn’t trust them, didn’t want them there, and in some cases, openly opposed them. As tensions rose, investigators pushed on, determined not to lose their grip on the case.
In this episode, 7NEWS journalist Michael Usher and Crime Editor Cassie Zervos reveal the resilience of the officers who stayed the course, and the deeply confronting evidence they uncovered, including allegations of child sex abuse and hundreds of child exploitation files found on Freeman’s computers.
Dezi Freeman: The Hunt is a 7NEWS and LiSTNR co-production.
