Mount Hope Sighting Triggers New Searches in Hunt for Julian Ingram

Police say the fugitive is likely armed and familiar with remote terrain, complicating a vast property-by-property search.

Overview

  • NSW Police deployed tactical units, PolAir and drones to multiple properties near Mount Hope after public reports of a possible sighting, which remains unconfirmed.
  • Investigators updated the suspect vehicle to a white single-cab Ford Ranger trayback with registration DM-07-GZ and council markings, and urged the public to report any sightings or footage.
  • Officers have widened the manhunt across districts including Euabalong and cleared several properties as temperatures in the mid‑40s raise concern the suspect may move at night.
  • Police describe 37-year-old Julian Ingram as armed and dangerous and ask residents not to approach; they believe he is on his own but cannot rule out assistance or a vehicle switch.
  • The shootings, treated as a domestic violence case, killed Sophie Quinn, 25, John Harris, 32, and Nerida Quinn, 50, while 19-year-old Kaleb MacQueen remains in a serious but stable condition as questions persist over how Ingram obtained a firearm without a NSW licence.
