Dan Shearin tried to take dead girlfriend’s money, family claim

The obsessed boyfriend of a woman who plunged to her death from his 11th floor balcony tried to withdraw money from her bank account the morning after she died.

Dan Shearin, 45, was denied access to his girlfriend Breeana’s account after she fell from his luxury Gold Coast apartment in January 2013.

Shearin – who has a history of apprehended and domestic violence orders against him – argued some of his money was in the 21-year-old’s account and he should have been granted access, Sunday Night reported.

His girlfriend’s mother Elaine Robinson said the bank called her after Shearin was denied access, saying the convicted stalker became furious. 

‘I got a call from the bank and they said that Dan had rang up irate and that he had gone to take money out of the account and the account wouldn’t let him take any money,’ Ms Robinson said. 

‘He said he was next of kin and that he wanted the money from the account … that was the morning after [Breeana’s death].’

Shearin said on Sunday that bank records would prove his money was in Breanna’s account, although he reportedly didn’t provide the records to the program when repeatedly asked.

Despite failing to withdraw the funds, he apparently went on to host a rowdy party in the same apartment his girlfriend fell from days earlier, building security manager Gordon Cassidy claimed. 

Mr Cassidy said he responded to a noise complaint on the night and found Shearin ‘laughing and carrying on’ while drinking alcohol with friends.

‘They’re all drinking and he goes “yeah, what’s up, mate? Oh, thanks for helping us out the other night.” … I thought it was weird,’ he told Sunday Night. 

Shearin then boarded a flight to Bali to go on the vacation he had booked with his girlfriend of 38 days – one week after she died.

He said he needed time to heal after he watched Breanna – who he bombarded with 1,439 text messages in a month – drop to her death from metres away inside his apartment. 

Shearin has an extensive police history dating back to 2004, including an unlawful stalking charge which he pleaded guilty to in February 2016, Sunday Night reported.

‘I wouldn’t say [I am] a dangerous man, I’d say an a***hole,’ Shearin said about his police history. 

Breanna, who was legally blind, fell from the balcony of the H20 Broadwater complex at 10.35pm on January 29, 2013, after returning from cheerleading practice.

Just ten minutes earlier she had received her final message from Shearin. 

No one was ever convicted over her death, but Shearin spent 10 days in prison after pleading guilty to using a carriage device to harass and menace her.

The cruise ship entertainer was jailed and labelled a ‘pig’ by a judge for bombarding Breeana with the messages.

The court heard evidence that a text message sent to Ms Robinson before she died read: ‘You’re more interested in TV, food and everything else but your partner. 

‘That’s why everything’s ruined. Your priorities are f***ed up’.

In another text message sent to Ms Robinson that was heard in court, Shearin said: ‘You’re a complete f***ing moron. I don’t want a stupid, dumb c***’.

The case was due to be assessed by the coroner in November last year, but a month later he instructed detectives to review evidence connected to Ms Robinson’s death.

Speaking through his lawyers at the time, Shearin said he welcomed the review and was looking forward to closure for everyone involved.
