The former detective at the head of the William Tyrrell case has shockingly claimed he was unable to handover critical information on the investigation to NSW Police after he was taken off the case.
Gary Jubelin said higher ranked police refused to let him hand over any of the knowledge he had built up over more than five years at the helm of the case after he was convicted of illegally recording a suspect during police investigations.
“The turn of events which have seen me talking to you here today were not anticipated. I’m not at liberty to talk about it but I maintain I did something I believed I was entitled to do but there were ways it could have been handled that could have been different,” he told Kyle and Jackie O.
“One thing I will say is I was never able to do a handover. I had knowledge that I have not been able to hand over to investigating police.”
The former NSW homicide detective, made famous by the Underbelly TV series, has launched a new podcast called I Catch Killers.

In his own words: Jubelin on ‘stunning’ Tyrrell case conviction
He admittedly sat stunned in court recently as he was convicted for his investigation of Tyrrell’s disappearance.
He was fined $10,000 and convicted for illegally recording conversations with a person of interest in the Tyrrell investigation.
The 57-year-old was convicted on four counts of breaching the Surveillance Devices Act and fined $2500 for each offence.
Magistrate Ross Hudson said that the offending struck “across the heart, nature, extent and purpose” of the act.
Former NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Nick Kaldas, Crown Prosecutor turn defence barrister Mark Tedeschi QC and Greens MP David Shoebridge all provided references supporting Jubelin.
He was found guilty of using a phone to record conversations with pensioner Paul Savage without his knowledge in 2017 and 2018.
Savage, 74, lived across the road from where William vanished while playing in his foster grandmother’s backyard in Kendall, a small town on the Mid North Coast, in September, 2014.
He became the target of an intense police operation to determine if he knew about or was involved in what happened to William. I Catch Killers, a new book with Gary Jubelin.
Savage had denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged in connection to William’s disappearance.
Jubelin was removed from the strike force investigating William’s disappearance six months before he was charged with breaching the Surveillance Devices Act last year.
He resigned from the force last July.
