FUGITIVE Malcolm Naden appears to have escaped another close call after coming face to face with a resident of a remote property outside Nowendoc.Scores of heavily armed police have spent several days at the property after the resident, who lives in Merewether, reported the break-in when he arrived to check on the homestead.
The Newcastle Herald also understands that the man may have laid eyes on the suspected double murderer before he scampered back into bushland.
The incident occurred ‘‘in the past couple of weeks’’ and there are unconfirmed reports food had been taken from cupboards and was being prepared.
It is the first confirmed sighting of Naden since he slipped past two police officers when they confronted him at a remote Niangala property on December 21.
The officers saw Naden as they approached the property, but he slipped out a back door as they called for backup.
Police have confirmed there had been other reported break-ins since Christmas, although the remoteness meant it was difficult to accurately pinpoint a time when Naden had passed through.
More police were called up to the Gloucester headquarters of Strike Force Durkin following the latest sighting and police intelligence suggests that Naden was remaining in and around the Nowendoc area despite having had to elude police.
He has been on the run for more than six years and is suspected of being involved in the disappearance and suspected murder of his cousin Lateesha Nolan, and the murder of another woman, Kristy Scholes, at Dubbo.

The hunt for Naden stepped up after an officer was shot in the shoulder as police closed in on a campsite on December 6.

Fugitive hunt tops Ned Kelly search 

  There's nothing quite like shooting police to get the law's undivided attention.
