On Friday, Lamarre-Condon, 28, handed himself into cops.

But investigators are still searching for Mr Baird and Mr Davies' bodies.

Cops fear the suspect may have killed the couple at Mr Baird's home in Paddington before moving them to a remote property in Bungonia more than 180km away.

Police say Lamarre-Condon could have transported the bodies in a white hire van.

Police fear Mr Baird's and Mr Davies' bodies may have been submerged in a dam at the remote site.

Cops are probing whether Lamarre-Condon later returned and moved the bodies again.

The same day, Lamarre-Condon was seen buying an angle grinder and weights from different shops, cops said.

They believe the angle grinder was used to bust the gate open.

As well as searching the area in Bungonia, police divers were seen searching a waterway 335km away in Newcastle on Saturday.

Police allege Lamarre-Condon used his police gun to kill Mr Baird and Mr Davies at the former TV host’s home in Paddington, Sydney, on Monday night before dumping their bodies.

Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty said the cop was on duty at the time - but called into work sick on Tuesday after the alleged murders.

The detective said "a large amount of blood was located" at the crime scene - along with a bullet matching Lamarre-Condon's work-issued gun.

 Mr Doherty also confirmed that a white Toyota HiAce was found on Friday morning in Grays Point in Sydney’s south.

Lamarre-Condon previously dated Mr Baird and cops have been told that their break-up was “bitter”.

Mr Baird reportedly expressed concerns for his safety and said he was being stalked.

Mr Doherty said there were "no warnings or flags to us in relation to his behaviour or any relationship breakdown".
