CCTV shows fugitive hours before alleged triple murder
CCTV footage of alleged shooter Julian Ingram reporting for bail at a police station hours before three people were found dead in a town in NSW’s central west has been released by police.
The footage comes as the search for the alleged Lake Cargelligo gunman nears one week.
Police have today revealed they believe the 37-year-old is still alive and possibly being assisted by someone.
NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said high heat in the area meant police were actively searching for Ingram “in the most extraordinary conditions”.
“This is the fifth day of over 40-degree temperatures, yet our police have been unwavering.”
Police have been searching properties and public land, scouring an area the size of metropolitan Sydney, in the seven days since the shooting.
Officers have carried out more than 100 searches in vast country near Griffith.
Earlier today, police conducted a line search in Murrin Bridge on the Lachlan River, a known camping area about 12 kilometres out of town.
They are looking for any evidence that Ingram camped at the location, or the ute he was last seen driving.
Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland said members of the public had been “very forthcoming with their information” following one confirmed sighting of the alleged offender at Mount Hope earlier this week.
“We believe that [Ingram] is still alive,” Holland said.
“Our plan is to track him down and bring him forth before the courts.”
Holland said Ingram’s experience in the Lake Cargelligo area and in areas around Mount Hope while working with the council could be helping him evade police.
“He’s aware where the water sources are, he’s aware where the hidey holes are, such as caves.”
Holland said that officers from the public order and riot squad are set to join the search this weekend.
He also said that police have not ruled out the potential of Ingram being assisted by a member of the community.
“We will be confident to say that he is possibly receiving help from people he knows in the community.
“Given the temperatures involved, he has to have access to food and water.
“He’s out and about and moving around.
“I would suggest that he is using a vehicle.
The NSW Police Commissioner has asked anybody who could be assisting Ingram to “think about the broader community”.
“What he has [allegedly] committed here is an atrocity.
“What was certainly alleged is something that is completely unacceptable,” Lanyon said.
Lanyon reassured the Lake Cargelligo community that the police force is behind them as the search for Ingram nears one week since three people were fatally shot.
“My commitment to you as the commissioner of the NSW Police is to keep you safe.”
Lanyon said a significant policing presence will continue to oversee the rural town as authorities continue to scour the area.
The shoorting unfolded before 4.30pm on January 22, with police finding Ingram’s ex-partner Sophie Quinn, 25, and her friend John Harris, 32, inside a car with gunshot wounds.
They were treated but died at the scene. Quinn was heavily pregnant and was due to give birth in March.
Shortly after, police responded to a second shooting at Walker Street in the same town.
Police found a 50-year-old woman and 19-year-old man shot in the driveway of a home.
The woman, who has been named as Sophie’s aunt Nerida Quinn, died at the scene, while the man was taken to Canberra Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Ingram is described as being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander appearance, about 165cm-170cm tall, with a medium build, short dark hair and brown eyes.
The 37-year-old also has several tattoos on his arms.
Anyone who sees Ingram is being urged not to approach him and to contact police immediately.
