They’re appealing for anyone with any information to get in touch.
It comes after Sandilands revealed he received a death threat following the downfall of The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
He shared just how dark the days following Sandilands’ KISS FM exit got, in episode three of his docuseries At Home With Kyle Sandilands.
The new docuseries is only available to view on the Kyle Sandilands Live app. It gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at what the past three months have really been like for Sandilands: the good, the bad, and the dangerous.
Episode three of At Home With Kyle Sandilands dropped at 6pm Friday, July 31
In it, Sandilands revealed that he received a death threat several pages long that essentially said, “If you go back on and do any work on any platform, we’re going to kill you.”
Sandilands’ manager of more than 15 years, Bruno Bouchet, said that in all his time of working with Sandilands, he’s never seen a death threat quite like this.
“While you may think you’re staff and security conscious in a big building no one is ever going to know every person who should or should not be there,” the letter read.
“I had a look around the other week, it was all quite lax in letting me through security screen points and doors.
“I had a great time scouting out your floor and the car park, and if I hear those two turds on the air again I’m looking forward to visiting again with a few things to make hunting you all down a bit more fun for everyone.”
While death threats are never something to sneer at, Sandilands explained that this one had a particularly “menacing” quality. Sandilands noted they described unique details someone would only know if they had been inside his workplace.
“The unnerving part was the detail in the letter that had said they’d entered the building, my offices, and gained access through the different security protocols and wandered quite aimlessly around the building,” he said.
Sandilands has worked closely with Bruno Bouchet for a long time. It was Bouchet that insisted they take the letter to police. Instagram
“[They] sort of wrote down details where you knew they had actually accessed the building and hoe easy it is to get to me … that’s a full f—ing lunatic.”
At first, Sandilands dismissed the letter, not too concerned after being close to people who’ve had “assassination attempts” on them and having received death threats before, although not quite as detailed.
But, Bouchet and the rest of the team insisted Sandilands report the letter to police.
“Because of the details, the police were quite concerned, as was Bruno, my management team, my legal team. And that makes you think, ‘oh, f—,’ you know? You see things all the time of home invasions, and people that are a little loose in the head,” Sandilands explained.
Sandilands’ primary concern was protecting his wife, Tegan Kynaston, and their son, Otto, from the threat. Instagram/@tegan_sandilands
The former radio star said he told his wife, Tegan Kynaston, very casually over dinner in an attempt not to worry her.
He said that Kynaston is adjusted to “the lunatic fringe that’s out there”, explaining that she was recently “accosted” in a park by a person claiming to be involved with The Mad F—ing Witches activist group.
“If it was just me, I would be like, whatever. But the family threat, or loved ones, it had to be taken very seriously,” he said.
