  • 117 - The Trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon - “A Favour”

    Friends of Jesse Baird have reported receiving text messages from him in the days after he died. Now, a friend of Beau Lamarre-Condon has alleged in court that she was asked to dispose of a phone, which he claimed contained stolen police files.

    The court has also heard from another of Beau Lamarre-Condon’s friends, who claims she agreed to go on a drive with the former police officer. She said she did not know that they would be gone for hours; or that the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies were supposedly in the back of the van, as prosecutors have alleged.

    Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder and one of aggravated break and enter. His defence maintains that Jesse Baird and Luke Davies both died in separate struggles involving his police issued gun.

  • 115 - The Trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon - The Bodies in the Backyard

    Jesse Baird’s housemates thought it was strange when two surfboard bags appeared in their backyard. They didn’t open the bags, and believed the pool of red liquid may have been a mixture of water and rust from the outdoor furniture.


    They had no idea that the bags contained the bodies of Jesse, and his boyfriend Luke Davies.


    The surfboard bags stayed in the backyard overnight. When the housemates checked the following morning, they were gone.


    In this episode, Wayne and Stephen examine the testimony of Jesse Baird’s housemates, both of whom gave evidence at the trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon. They also break down the evidence given by a detective who was a close friend of Beau Lamarre-Condon, who claimed he asked her strange questions about tracking phones and hire cars before Jesse and Luke’s disappearance.


    Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two charges of murder and one of aggravated break and enter. His defence says that Jesse and Luke both died in separate struggles involving Beau Lamarre-Condon’s police issued gun.

    In this episode, Wayne and Stephen examine the claims coming from friends of Jesse Baird and Beau Lamarre-Condon, which the jury heard over the last week.

    They also discuss the disturbing forensic evidence from inside Jesse’s home, including hidden bloodstains and an allegedly covered bullet hole.

  • 113 - The Trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon - Accident or Execution?

    Former NSW police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon is accused of fatally shooting television presenter Jesse Baird and his partner, Luke Davies, at Baird’s Sydney home.

    Beau Lamarre-Condon and Jesse Baird had previously been involved in a relationship. Prosecutors allege that after it ended, the former police officer developed an obsessive fixation with the presenter. They claim that fixation culminated in Beau Lamarre-Condon entering Jesse Baird’s home disguised as an Uber Eats rider, shooting him and his new partner with a police-issued pistol.

    Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one count of aggravated break and enter. His defence claims the men died during separate struggles involving the gun.

    In this first episode covering the highly anticipated trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon, Wayne is joined by court reporter Stephen Gibbs to break down what has emerged during the opening days of proceedings, using voice actors recreating key moments from inside the courtroom.
