I wondered the same thing when Sarah Harris mentioned that he was going to start a new job in a few short weeks.

Good that itās the police commissioner providing updates. Considering the situation itās the correct approach

BB I agree.
I just hope they can find them so friends, family and colleagues ans the wider gay community can say goodbye. I didnāt know them personally, maybe its because Iām gay and going to turn 40 soon but I am still struggling why this case has upset me so much.
I am so angry at this whole situation, I just hope justice will be served.
Sarah and Hamish did very well last night, couldnāt help but feel her pain.

It was mentioned on 7News Adelaide last night that Mardi Gras organisers are considering a way to commemorate their deaths in an appropriate way.

At the long media briefing we heard some aspects of the timeline including for the first time that there was a triple 0 phone call made from Jesseās phone at 9:54 , about 4 minutes after shots were heard; but it was brief and disconnected.

I couldnāt agree more with what you have said here.
I think it has upset the wider LGBTQIA+ community. Iāve felt sick about this since Friday when it was confirmed they were murdered. The whole thing is just so sad.
Hopefully they can be found and be laid to rest.

and I imagine with Sarah being a big True Crime podcast/show fan she would be thinking about what she can and cant say in regards to it and sensitivities of the families.
That should go without saying for any professional journalist

Yes, everyone is talking about it. Its definitely had an affect on the wider community, right around Australia.

This is making me angrier and angrier each day.
If neighbours heard gunshots why didnāt they call the police?
If Jesseās phone got disconnected why didnāt they send a car over to check? I understand it would have been too late to save them but at least theyād have had their bodies and the murderer in custody a hell of a lot sooner.
I think the NSW police actually have a lot to answer to for on this one.
Iāve been in a situation like this, you hear a bang, you donāt really register what it is and just write it off as a random noise and carry on. Then later you find out what it is and it clicks thatās what you heard.

Thatās fair. Maybe we need to be living in a world now where itās better to be safe than sorry and report everything even if you are unsure.
Again, it wouldnāt have saved them unfortunately but I just feel like Jesse and Luke have been let down.
Police way too slow to act on this one.
Iām wondering where the 2 female roommates were for days?
This is really sad if it was a desperate attempt by Jesse to call authorities after being shot. 
Thatās probably the case. Itās easier in hindsight to say they shouldāve done something but they prob didnāt think too much of it at the time. Looking back they have probably realised what it was.

I remember a while ago that it was reported that more than half the calls to Triple 0 in Australia are a misdial, prank or non-emergency call. They were trying to ask the public to take more care.
While they do their best to respond to those non emergency calls, their time is taken up with responding to emergencies.
Also, it was easier to identify where the caller was calling from when everyone used landlines. Harder to determine the exact location when using a mobile phone.

Yeah, youāre right. Guess Iām just trying to find answers in all of this tragedy.
I reckon knowing the person that allegedly did it heās kept the phone. Thereās been reports he broke into Jesseās house on multiple occasions and used his phone to delete messages etcā¦ I donāt know how if most phones are fingerprint or face ID unless cops have a secret code?
I donāt get why theyāre giving out all this information like itās usueles for the public to know? All itās going to do is make it more difficult for a fair trail. But maybe thatās the point?
lots of people still have older phones that donāt have these.

There is an option for callers to 000 who are unable to speak to press 55 which will alert police to return the call. Unfortunately if thereās no response the call is disconnected as it may be likely to be unintended (Iāve personally managed to to pocket dial Triple 0 once).
