South Australian police have revealed key clues in the hunt for who is responsible for the online threats to Glenunga International High School.
New chilling photos and details about an online alias have been released, months after police dropped charges against an 18-year-old boy.
The threats, which first came to light in May, allegedly detailed plans to attack the school using bombs, knives, and a vehicle, and included a threat to pour boiling oil on a student at a bus stop.
Police have revealed an online alias “Brian Cole” and appeared to have access to a shared computer after 9pm between November 19 of last year and May 13.
This computer had the gaming platform ‘Steam’ and the game ‘Black Myth: Wukong’ installed.
Police are now seeking help from the public to find the suspect.
“We’re seeking to be more overt and seek the assistance of the public to try and identify the individual,” Deputy Police Commissioner Linda Williams said.
“All lines of inquiry are still open to us, we’ll follow the evidence as to where that takes us.”
Investigators believe “Brian Cole” may have experienced a change in living circumstances around May 13, 2025, potentially leading to reduced computer access.
As part of the renewed investigation, students were shown a collection of images during a school assembly run by detectives.
These images included a spider with its legs severed and arranged to resemble the school logo, and a picture containing the handwritten words “CHARLES FROM HERO”.
Police have also released a list of common words and phrases allegedly used by the suspect, including “steal the souls” and “I have spells which are just for the hero”.
This information, along with the images, has been shared with students and staff at Glenunga International High School in the hope that someone will recognise the handwriting or phrases used.
