"Acting Det Supt Andrew Marks on Monday urged the public to share any footage they may have of the grey Toyota Corolla, which was found burnt out in Westmead last Tuesday. Marks said officers also discovered evidence inside the car that had been linked to an abandoned and derelict property in Dural, where it was believed Baghsarian, 85, was held at some point after his kidnapping."
"That vehicle was not burnt out totally, and we were able to establish some forensic links from items inside that car that we can link back to the property in Dural and also to Mr Baghsarian, he said. This case is not our normal kind of investigation in relation to a kidnapping and a hostage. I suspect that those that are involved were planning to burn that vehicle and everything inside it."
"Baghsarian has been missing since three men bundled him into a dark-coloured SUV outside his Sydney home just before dawn on 13 February, and police believe he was the victim of a case of mistaken identity. Police said on Friday that hope is fading to find Baghsarian alive, but they would not give up trying to locate him. Detectives had previously said they believed the widower was alive, after videos of him restrained in an unknown location emerged."
Forensic evidence linked to Sydney grandfather Chris Baghsarian was found in a partly burnt grey Toyota Corolla discovered in Westmead. Items in the vehicle matched evidence from an abandoned, derelict property in Dural where Baghsarian, 85, was believed to have been held after his abduction. The Corolla was sighted in Glenorie on 14 February and police have expanded searches of surrounding bushland. Baghsarian was taken by three men into a dark-coloured SUV outside his home before dawn on 13 February in an apparent case of mistaken identity. Hope of finding him alive is fading despite earlier footage showing him restrained.
