Notorious figure Richard Pusey remains unaccounted for more than a month after police declared him a wanted man.
Once referred to by a judge as “probably the most hated man in Australia”, Pusey has eluded authorities for weeks and has two active warrants against his name.
In early November, police released two images of Pusey, asking the public to dob him in if they know where he is.
The 45-year-old is wanted for contravening court orders.
The images of Pusey reveal a starkly different looking man to the one involved in the Eastern Freeway tragedy.
In one image, he has dark shoulder length hair and in the other his hair is greyed and in a bowl cut.
Police are still searching for Pusey, who they say is known to travel across the state by vehicle and public transport.
Pusey’s last social media post was of a moving train on October 17.
Previously he has been an active online user.
Pusey was jailed for filming the aftermath of the horrific crash that killed police officers Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor, First Constable Glen Humphris, Senior Constable Kevin King and Constable Josh Prestney in April 2020.
Magistrate Michelle Mykytowycz sentenced him to 10 months for the crime which she said denied the officers dignity in death.
“It is hard to conceive of a more serious example (of using a carriage service in an offensive manner),” Ms Mykytowycz said at sentencing.
Pusey was driving the Porsche the officers intercepted prior to being hit and killed by drugged-up truck driver, Mohinder Singh.
He survived because he was urinating off the side of the freeway.
Pusey is caucasian in appearance and about 190cm tall.
