A mystery triple-0 call was received by emergency services on the morning alleged killer cop Beau Lamarre-Condon is accused of shooting dead Ten’s roving reporter Jesse Baird and his Qantas flight attendant lover Luke Davies.
But the call at 9.54am last Monday from Mr Baird’s phone in his home disconnected before anyone spoke and detectives did not follow it up, NSW Police admitted today.
The call came through four minutes after neighbours say they heard shots coming from the $3million rented terrace home in Paddington in Sydney’s east.
But police say no-one reported the gunshots to police until quizzed by detectives days later.
Deputy Commissioner David Hudson said investigations were still continuing into the number of shots fired but neighbours’ reports varied from ‘one to several’.
‘Four minutes after the shots were fired, there was a Triple-0 call made from Jesse’s phone, however it disconnected,’ he said.
‘Nothing was said or heard from my understanding…very brief.’

In a lengthy press conference on Monday morning, police outlined detailed new evidence in the alleged double murder.
The hunt is still continuing for the bodies of the two men, with divers scouring dams in the Southern Tablelands after Lamarre-Condon allegedly travelled to a property there last week.
Police also revealed they believe Lamarre-Condon had previously sneaked into Mr Baird’s home and wiped key contacts and messages from his phone after a bad break-up between the Mr Baird and the celebrity chaser-turned-cop.
Mr Baird, a presenter and producer on Ten’s Studio 10, had previously told friends he feared he was being stalked at his home and had seen a shadowy figure in his bedroom one night.
‘My understanding was [the relationship] was an on and off-again,’ said Dep Comm Hudson.
‘Some of the behaviour of the accused which will later come out in court was probably indicators of predatory behaviour.
‘The relationship, which ended at the end of last year, did not end well.
‘We believe that the accused had attended Jessie’s home address. We believe that he had utilised a key to enter those premises.
‘We believe that he took possession of Jesse’s phone and deleted contacts and messages out of that phone before before leaving the premises.
‘At this stage we are piecing all that together through witnesses.’

Dep Comm Hudson said there was a number of ‘entrances to the premises’ of Mr Baird’s home that had not been reported to police at the time.
But he said detectives would investigate claims Mr Baird made a written report to Bondi Police about a break-in to his home last August.
He added that Lamarre-Condon frequently hid the fact that he was a serving police officer when meeting people.
He added: ‘The accused was not totally forthcoming about his employment with his acquaintances.
‘There were many people that we have spoken to who were unaware that he’s a police officer.’
