Locals are feeling the financial scars of a massive search for accused cop killer Dezi Freeman as visitors abandon the region and business bookings are cancelled.
Victoria Police have issued a new plea and warning in the search for Dezi Freeman, now working to pressure people they say know where the accused cop killer is.
As a manhunt continues for Dezi Freeman, the suspect who police allege fatally shot two officers and seriously injured a third, the identities of the two fallen officers have been confirmed.

Fugitive gunman, Dezi Freeman, previously referred to the police in court evidence as 'frigging Nazis' and 'terrorist thugs' and once tried to arrest a magistrate.
