Police involved in the massive manhunt for fugitive Dezi Freeman believe he is very much alive and has left Victoria.
Freeman has not been seen since August 24 when he allegedly shot dead officers Vadim de Waart-Hottart and Neal Thompson as they helped execute a search warrant on his property in Porepunkah in Victoria's high country.
The alleged murders sparked a massive police hunt that saw officers scour bushland in and around Freeman's wilderness retreat located in the shadow of Mount Buffalo.
On October 14, seven weeks after the tragic events at Freeman's home, Victoria Police declared sections of the Mount Buffalo National Park would remain closed due to fears that he remained there.
At the time, police made it clear the hunt for Freeman was still on, but offered no clues on what they believed happened to him.
Daily Mail can now reveal officers involved in the initial search for Freeman in the wilderness have been told by force command they believe the fugitive escaped the initial police dragnet.
'He got away. The belief is he somehow escaped and is now holed up safely across the border,' a source said.
While it remains unclear what state police believe Freeman may be hiding in, it has long been feared he received help from supporters in the days and weeks following the tragedy.
The revelations follow Victoria Police Commissioner Mike Bush's claims a week ago that they remained in the dark about what happened to Freeman.
'Is he still alive? We don't know. Is he alive and still in the area? We have no real information to suggest that,' he said.
'Or has he been unable to leave the area and is being looked after by others?
'We don't know - all of those are assumptions, possibilities, and we plan a resource for those three.'
Areas of the Mount Buffalo park still closed include The Big Walk, Reservoir Road and Ballroom tracks, and Rocky Creek and Mount McLeod tracks and campgrounds. It remains unclear when they will reopen.
Word of Freeman's possible escape follows reports specialist cadaver dogs brought in from interstate had turned up nothing in the search area.
The dogs, which specialise in sniffing out human remains, were brought in from Queensland as police refocused their search on the Mount Buffalo National Park after raiding the property of a police officer near Benalla late last month.
Members of the Special Operations Group have searched caves, mine shafts, huts and rough bushland during their search.
Officers have been pictured conducting line searches in the high country and searching through dense bushland.
Speculation Freeman had taken his own life emerged this month when his brother James 'Jimmy' Filby hit social media declaring he believed he was dead somewhere on Mount Buffalo.
Mr Filby is reported to have said he hoped Freeman was 'now at peace' but feared he spent his last hours 'cold, lonely, fearful'.
Hundreds of Victoria Police officers and specialist resources from across Australia and New Zealand have been involved in the search for Freeman.
Police have spoken to more than 800 people, searched hundreds of properties and investigated close to 2000 pieces of intelligence, including public tips.
Daily Mail previously reported the search is estimated to have cost taxpayers up to $100million.
Police have even offered a $1million reward for information leading to Freeman's capture, which is the largest financial offer in Victoria's history for facilitating an arrest.
If anyone could have escaped on the mountain, Freeman's son Koah claimed it was him, comparing his survival instincts to those of John Rambo from the 1982 Hollywood classic First Blood.
Koah told the Herald Sun last month he had 'no doubt' his dad could survive on his own.
'No doubt, no doubt at all. I'm not sure if you have ever seen the movie Rambo, especially the first Rambo movie, it's like that but 10 times the capacity,' he said.
'The Mount Buffalo National Park is his second home. He's been there since he was 16 just going hiking in places no man has ever stepped foot in.'
Koah said he and his dad used to watch Rambo 'together sometimes'.
'I don't know if it's a favourite movie, I guess it's hard to have a favourite movie these days,' he said.
In that movie, Rambo - played by Sylvester Stallone - escaped a massive police manhunt in the wilderness under the presumption he was dead, only to return later armed with an M60 machine gun.
Victoria Police did not respond to Daily Mail's questions about Freeman.
Freeman is described as being Caucasian, 183cm tall, medium build, short dark hair and brown eyes.
He was last seen wearing dark green (khaki) tracksuit pants, dark green rain jacket, brown Blundstone boots, and reading glasses.
Anyone with information on Freeman's whereabouts is urged to phone triple-zero or head to the Victoria Police website for further information.
