Almost a month after two police officers were shot and killed in regional Victoria, the accused gunman – Dezi Freeman – is still at large.

Victoria Police have deployed thousands of officers, searched more than a hundred properties, and offered the biggest reward in Victorian history – with no result.

People have also been combing Freeman’s Facebook history, which plots a journey from nature photos and family updates, to calling police “Gestapo cowards” and who deserve “Nuremberg 2”.

Today, reporter for Crikey Cam Wilson on what Dezi Freeman’s years of posts reveal and whether there’s a pattern we can recognise before it boils over into violence.
