Police Express Grave Concerns After TV Presenter Jesse Baird And Boyfriend Luke Davies Go Missing

NSW police said they are investigating the “suspicious disappearance” of former Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird (26) and his boyfriend Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies (29).

Baird is a former Ten Red Carpet reporter. “Their disappearances are being treated as suspicious,” a NSW police spokesperson said in a statement on Thursday.

On Wednesday February 21, around 11 am, the police were alerted after a staff member at a nearby venue found some suspicious items in a skip-bin on Wilbar Avenue, Cronulla. The police found possessions belonging to Davies and Baird – reportedly bloodied clothing, a mobile phone, credit cards and car keys. Police inquiries led them to Baird’s Paddington home, where they were confronted with a “significant” amount of blood, Detective Superintendent Jodi Radmore told media persons. 

NSW police said they had entered Baird’s home in Brown Street, Paddington, around 1 pm on Wednesday, February 21, and had “immediately established a crime scene.” There were signs of a “struggle” and according to Radmore, “some sort of incident more than likely occurred at the Paddington address”. Neighbours said they had heard a “verbal argument”, but it was not reported to police at the time. 

The police said they had “grave concerns” about the couple’s safety. 

Disappearance Being Treated As Suspicious

Police then entered Davies’ home in Waterloo. “He has not been located and his disappearance is being treated as suspicious,” a NSW police spokesperson said in a statement. 

“Information indicates they (Luke and Baird) were in Paddington on Monday, February 19, 2024. Luke has not been seen since his family has been unable to contact him and he has not been at work,” police said. 

Davies is Caucasian in appearance, 170cm-175cm tall with a medium build, brown hair and brown eyes. Baird is of Caucasian appearance, 180cm to 185cm tall with a muscular build, brown hair and brown eyes. The police said it was not known what Baird and Davies were wearing at the time of his disappearance. 

Police had earlier said they were trying to determine the location of Baird, who they believed could assist with inquiries.

Police have appealed to anyone with information about Baird and Davies’ disappearance or the investigation to contact Waverley Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
