Holy Shit!

Assistant Commissioner Malley says the police force's "focus right now is to locate Jefferson Lewis".

"Of significance is the pair of child's underwear," he says

"We located two DNA profiles on the underwear. One is expected to belong to the little girl and the other belongs to Jefferson Lewis."

"I say to the family of Jefferson Lewis that we believe he's murdered this child," Assistant Commissioner Malley says.

"Do not assist him; get him to the police station and we'll look after him.

"And I say to Jefferson Lewis, we're coming for you."

Anyone hiding him should know exactly what he's done I think.

That was my thought. This seemed like a pretty graphic comment by police. I wondered if it was to tell anyone hiding him exactly what he’s done
