Police swooped on ex Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn when they heard him talking to ... trends now
Ex-Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn was arrested in Victoria's high country after police heard him talking to himself about suicide.
Lynn, 56, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court this week charged with the murders of secret lover campers Russell Hill, 74, and Carol Clay, 73.
On Monday, the detective responsible for listening to 3150 secret recordings captured from Lynn's wagon - a blue Nissan Patrol he later resprayed beige - revealed special operations group officers descended on Lynn in helicopters after he heard the accused killer talking to himself about possible self harm.

Detective Leading Senior Constable Daniel Passingham said Lynn had been expected to travel to the Grampians in Victoria's west when he heard him talking to himself on the other side of Victoria.
In a statement released on Monday evening, it was revealed the experienced detective became concerned when he heard Lynn speaking in a 'depressed state'.
'Lynn made comments of his time coming to an end, that Melanie (his wife) had three boys to look after her, a good rum, whiskey or cocktail would be good,' Leading Senior Constable Passingham stated.
The detective said after listening to Lynn for more than 3000 recordings, he knew something wasn't right.
'I had a feeling he was going to commit suicide,' he told the court.
Lynn had been armed with a high-powered centrefire rifle on the unexpected trip.
Within half-an-hour of the SOG officers taking off, Lynn was in custody.
Daily Mail Australia is unable to report on exactly what Lynn told police during his epic four-day record of interview after Magistrate Brett Sonnet agreed to implement a gag order on it.
A suppression order was also placed on and a statement Lynn provided after yet another secret recording by police.
What can be revealed is that the 3000-question interview went for a gruelling nine hours and 18 minutes - the longest Senior Constable Passingham had ever conducted.

At its conclusion, the court heard Lynn allegedly provided them with a detailed 'mud-map' describing the location of where he allegedly dumped the bodies of Mr Hill and Ms Clay.
But it is an interview that may never go before a Supreme Court of Victoria jury amid claims by Lynn's defence that it is inadmissible.
Leading Senior Constable Passingham told the court he had earlier heard Lynn pondering the alleged murders while driving up to the Wonnangatta Valley shortly before his arrest.
'He expressed (it) while travelling up across the high plains just prior to his arrest on that day between Glenmaggie and Licola,' he told the court.
Leading Senior Constable Passingham further revealed Lynn and his wife had been caught on tape watching a 60 Minutes program about the missing campers.
In court documents released last week, prosecutors revealed that homicide detectives had been investigating Lynn for about a year before finally arresting him in November 2021.
The Missing Person's Squad detective said police had made thousands of recordings of Lynn in his car in the 11 months before his arrest in Victoria's high country.
