Beauty and the Geek Star Charged: Police Release CCTV in Search for Boyfriend's Remains
The search for the remains of a man allegedly murdered by his girlfriend, a former reality TV star, continues as police release new CCTV footage. Tamika Chesser, who was the runner-up on the 2010 season of Beauty and the Geek in Australia, has been charged with the murder of her boyfriend, Luke Day.
The shocking case has captivated the nation, with authorities intensifying their efforts to locate Day's body. Chesser, 34, appeared in court earlier this month where she was formally charged with his murder. While she has not entered a plea, the allegations against her are serious and have sent shockwaves through the reality TV world and beyond.
New CCTV Footage Released
Police have now released CCTV footage in the hopes of generating new leads in the investigation. The footage, which has not been publicly detailed, is believed to show Chesser and Day in the days leading up to Day’s disappearance. Authorities are urging anyone with information about Day’s whereabouts or the events surrounding his disappearance to come forward.
“We are continuing to appeal to the public for assistance as we work to piece together the events leading up to Mr. Day’s disappearance,” said Detective Inspector Andrew Carrigg. “Any information, no matter how small, could be crucial to this investigation.”
The Relationship and Disappearance
Chesser and Day reportedly met online and had been in a relationship for several months. Day was last seen in late 2022. His family reported him missing, prompting a police investigation that quickly escalated. Initial inquiries focused on Chesser, and she was eventually arrested and charged with murder.
Beauty and the Geek Connection
Chesser’s appearance on Beauty and the Geek, where she was paired with a “geek” to help her gain confidence and social skills, has brought renewed attention to the show and its participants. The show, known for its heartwarming premise, has been overshadowed by this tragic case.
Investigation Ongoing
The investigation remains ongoing, with police focusing on locating Day’s remains and gathering evidence to support the murder charge against Chesser. The case highlights the dark side of relationships and the importance of vigilance. The public is encouraged to contact police with any information that may assist in the investigation.
