A third person may be involved in the puzzling disappearance of a TV presenter and his flight attendant partner.
Former Channel Ten reporter and AFL goal umpire Jesse Baird, 26, and his Qantas flight attendant boyfriend Luke Davies, 29, vanished from Sydney’s east on Monday and have not been heard from since.
Their disappearance is being treated as suspicious after possessions belonging to both men were found in a skip bin in Cronulla on Wednesday, leading police to Mr Baird’s blood-stained share house 30km away.

Police said they executed a search warrant and “seized a number of items” from a Balmain home about 11.30pm on Thursday.
Shouting had been heard by neighbours on Monday but was not reported to police until they arrived at Baird’s home in Paddington.
Baird’s WhatsApp account was active as late as Tuesday night, leading detectives to appeal for him to come forward if able.
“If Jesse’s seeing this, we’d ask him to contact us, as well as anyone that might know the whereabouts of Jesse,” Detective Superintendent Jodi Radmore told reporters on Wednesday.
But she was open to the possibility someone else was involved.
Detectives said inquiries had led them to believe a third man may be able to assist with the investigation.
“Police are currently trying to locate him,” a statement said on Wednesday night.
“Detectives will continue to look at all past relationships and associations.”
As well as presenting on the morning program Studio 10, Baird had taken to the field of AFL and VFL games as a goal umpire.
Photos from his and Davies’ social media accounts show them together at a Pink concert in Sydney during the previous week.
One snap of the pair taken at the lighthouse at Palm Beach earlier in February reads: “Perfect start to a long weekend”.
