Forensic evidence linked to Sydney grandfather Chris Baghsarian has been found in a burnt-out car, with police searching bushland for any further clues 11 days after he was kidnapped in a suspected case of mistaken identity<\/a>.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Marks would not confirm what forensic evidence was found in the car that had links to Baghsarian and the Dural property.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/strong>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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Sign up: AU Breaking News email<\/sub><\/a><\/p>\n Marks said the car was also sighted in Glenorie on Saturday 14 February, the day after Baghsarian was kidnapped.
