The TV presenter who was allegedly murdered with his partner by his cop ex-lover had just landed his 'dream job' in the days before he died.
Former NSW Police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon, 29, is accused of shooting dead Jesse Baird, 26, and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, at Paddington in Sydney 's eastern suburbs in February 2024.
But Daily Mail Australia can now reveal Jesse had just accepted a new role as producer on reality series The Real Housewives of Sydney ahead of its third season, and was due to start in March last year.
'He had just signed on in January,' said Jesse's friend and former colleague, showbiz reporter Craig Bennett.
'He was ever so excited about it because he loved the show.'
Jesse had previously worked worked as a presenter and reporter on Network 10's Studio 10, Totally Wild and Gamify, and was an AFL goal umpire.
'He'd been let go by Network 10 when Studio 10 was axed in November 2023,' Craig said.
'But Jesse was great on camera, but also an accomplished producer, and he was immeasurably excited about this new frontier on Housewives.
'He never got to see that dream realised. He would have gone a long way in reality television.'
Jesse had produced Studio 10 segments involving Craig and TV doyenne Denise Drysdale - and Craig joked that after wrangling 'two divas like us', a cast of Sydney housewives would have been a walk in the park.
'Denise is not morning person, but when she was working with Jesse she just melted,' he recalled. 'He would have taken to Real Housewives life like a duck to water.'
This comes as Daily Mail Australia reported Lamarre-Condon has offered to reveal new details about the case to investigators and prosecutors.
The 29-year-old has not entered pleas to two counts of murder but says he has information about a second person he claims helped dump Mr Davies and Mr Baird's remains, according to a source close to Lamarre-Condon.
'Lamarre-Condon wants to do the right thing for the families and is happy to assist investigators with information about who else played a part in the incident,' the source claimed.
'So far both the DPP and the officer in charge have failed to reply to the offer made by Lamarre's legal team for assistance.'
The source claimed that a witness had told investigators they had waited at the fence line of the Bungonia property where the bodies were first dumped for 15 to 20 minutes.
Phone records indicated Lamarre-Condon and the witness were at the farm for almost two hours, the source claimed.
Police also located two sets of white overalls at the scene where bodies were located which indicates it was a two-person job,' the source said.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said: 'As this matter is before the court, we are unable to comment.' A spokeswoman for the DPP said the same thing.
Lamarre-Condon has spent more than a year in prison since the shootings, which were allegedly the result of a months-long campaign of 'predatory behaviour' targeting Mr Baird.
The onetime celebrity chaser reportedly briefly dated Mr Baird before the TV presenter began a relationship with Mr Davies.
Suspicions of foul play were raised after possessions belonging to the dead men were found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla, leading police to Mr Baird's blood-smeared terrace.
The case returned to Downing Centre Local Court last month after confidential discussions between prosecutors and the alleged killer's Legal Aid lawyer Alex Curnick.
Both sides agreed 'things are progressing,' magistrate Megan Greenwood was told.
A forensic psychiatrist's report was also tendered after Lamarre-Condon was assessed in previous weeks.
Lamarre-Condon has not entered pleas to two counts of domestic violence-related murder, and one count of break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence.
He was sacked by the NSW Police Force in March 2024.
Lamarre-Condon joined the force in 2019 and previously ran a celebrity blog, posing in photos with dozens of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.
