Kay Reid, the mother of AFL premiership players Ben and Sam Reid, says her home has been raided by police as part of Taskforce Summit’s investigation into the movements of Dezi Freeman, who is described in reporting as a police killer. Reid tells outlets that detectives visit her and her family in connection with the inquiry, and she confirms that police search her property as part of efforts to establish where Freeman and related associates travelled or stayed.
Reid also describes her family’s long-standing connections to Freeman’s circle, saying her and her husband Bruce’s ties to Freeman and Freeman’s family date back about two decades. She further recounts details of what she says investigators told her during their contact and references evidence-sharing actions surrounding the inquiry.
The reports agree that Reid is a regional Victorian businesswoman and that the police operation targets information about Freeman’s movements. They also concur that the same core allegation is central to Reid’s account: that her home is searched while detectives seek to understand Freeman’s whereabouts and links before and after he became a fugitive.
