Investigations continue into sightings - Local News - News - General - Daily Liberal

Investigations continue into sightings
02 Mar, 2011 04:00 AM
The search for Australia’s most wanted man Malcolm Naden continues.

Macquarie Local Area Command Acting Inspector Peter Neville confirmed officers were involved in an search operation on a remote property west of Port Macquarie on the weekend.

“Police conducted a search operation looking for an Aboriginal man wanted in connection to stealing offences out our way,” he said.

“Investigations into the matter are continuing.”

Two possible sightings of Malcolm Naden were made last Wednesday in Birdwood, 77km west of Port Macquarie by a woman and her grandson.

Inspector Neville said the thought that the man involved in their manhunt was Naden is “purely speculation”.

Naden, who would now be 37, is wanted by police in relation to the death of 24-year-old mother-of-two Kristy Scholes in Dubbo and the alleged aggravated indecent assault of a 15-year-old girl in 2004.

Naden is a suspect in the disappearance of Lateesha Nolan who was last seen on January 4, 2005.

Naden is 177cm tall, 85kg with medium build, brown eyes, a shaved head and possibly a moustache or beard.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Information can be given anonymously.

If it's purely speculation, then on what basis can you - the Liberal - claim it to be Naden? Where have your standards gone? Something's changed.

@Standards...What claim? It is only a report as given to them. Only changes I see are good ones.

Pfft. Explain to me where in the quotes from the cops they say it's Naden. That it's possible Naden comes from the DL, and no where else. Where did they find that info?

It's not clear. It's not explained. So are we supposed to assume they're correct just because they say they are?

@ Standards. So then I take it you dont wish to be informed or kept up to date with a subject that is very much of interest to people here. It might be a no story to you but please note that the Daily Liberal have wisely used the words "possible" and "speculation'.

Local search for state's most wanted man - Local News - News - General - Wauchope Gazette

Local search for state's most wanted man
02 Mar, 2011 11:59 PM
HEAVILY armed police are involved in the manhunt for one of the state's most wanted men, Malcolm Naden.

Police received a possible sighting of the fugitive at Birdwood last Wednesday and police converged on the area immediatley.

Police have confirmed they were looking for a man seen on a remote property, believed to be Naden.

The State government last week doubled its reward for Naden, who would now be aged 37 years.

He is wanted by police in relation to warrants issued in 2005 for murder and aggravated indecent assault of a child.

He is alleged to have murdered Kristy Scholes, a 24 year old mother-of-two in Dubbo, in the state's central west, on June 21 or 22, 2005.

Naden is a suspect in the disappearance of his cousin Lateesha Nolan, who was last seen on January 4, 2005.

The fugitive also is wanted for the alleged aggravated indecent assault of a 15-year-old girl in Dubbo between May 12 and 15, 2004.

The ex-abattoir worker and experienced bushman was last year suspected to be living in dense bush near Curricabark, about 200km south-west of Port Macquarie.

In January 2009, Naden surfaced west of Wauchope.

Announcing the doubling of the reward, NSW Police Minister Michael Daley said Naden was "an alleged murderer and child molester - and he should face a jury of his peers."

Naden is 177 centimetres tall, 85 kilograms, with medium build, brown eyes, shaved head and possibly a moustache and or beard.

Police yesterday confirmed a number of officers were involved in the operation conducted by the Mid North Coast Local Area Command.

A number of items have been seized and taken for forensic investigation.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Information can be given anonymously.
