The story, to be fronted by reporter Charles Wooley, is understood to be scheduled for March 11.

Producer Danny Keens yesterday declined to confirm a definite broadcast date.

“At this stage we are still filming,’’ he told the Daily Liberal.

Naden has been on the run for more than six years. He is wanted on warrants for the January 2005 disappearance of Dubbo woman Lateesha Nolan, the June 2005 murder of her friend Kristy Scholes, a 2004 aggravated indecent assault on a teenaged girl and the December 2011 shooting of a police officer.

A $250,000 bounty has been offered to anyone who can help police catch Naden.

A 60 Minutes crew was in Dubbo last week to record segments for the Naden story.

Lateesha Nolan’s father, Mick Peet, was the focal point of filming.

60 Minutes flew Mr Peet and his wife and children from Bundaberg to be part of the program.

They arrived at Dubbo on Friday afternoon and were interviewed and photographed by the Daily Liberal.

At that time Mr Peet was unable to speak on the record about the 60 Minutes story because of contractual obligations.

Yesterday he spoke freely about the current affairs program and the pain of returning to his former home.

“Coming back to Dubbo was very difficult,’’ Mr Peet said.

“I tried my hardest to be strong but ended up breaking down in front of the camera crew.

“Charles Wooley was very good - he seemed to understand the agony we have lived every day since Lateesha disappeared.

“Walking along the Macquarie River where her wallet was found last October I experienced a really eerie feeling. I had visions of Lateesha being thrown into the water or buried in a makeshift grave.

“I hope and pray every day that Malcolm Naden will be taken in alive.

“He has already demonstrated a readiness to use firearms to evade arrest.

“I hope the hunt doesn’t end in a shoot-out because we need Naden to tell us what happened to Lateehsa.’’

Mr Peet and his family flew out of Dubbo on Monday morning.

They continue to monitor the manhunt from their Bundaberg home where 15kg of newspaper clippings collected over the past six years are stored in a large suitcase.

“I will never give up looking for Lateesha,’’ Mr Peet said.

“Continued media attention increases community awareness of the Naden manhunt. Hopefully someone will come forward with information that leads to his capture.’’
