David Masters: Police issue warning to Skye Wallis as sons dream shattered

The son of a Queensland police officer killed in an alleged hit and run dreamt of one day joining his father on the force – a wish that has been shattered to pieces.

Heartbreaking details of how David Masters’ son would never serve alongside his dad were revealed by the police union as a woman alleged to be a passenger in the stolen car that hit and killed the top cop faced court on Monday.

Senior Constable Masters was attempting to stop a stolen car on the Bruce Highway near Burpengary on Saturday morning when he was allegedly mowed down.

The driver, who police allege is Skye Anne Wallis, and passenger Kari O’Brien are alleged to have kept driving after the incident.

Ms O’Brien, 24, is facing charges of murder, arson, robbery in company and unlawful use of a motor vehicle following her arrest on Sunday.

Police are still looking to locate Ms Wallis, 33.

She is described as 170cm tall, caucasian, with dyed silver hair and brown eyes.

Queensland Police Union boss Ian Leavers told Sunrise the officer’s death had devastated Masters’ childhood sweetheart wife Sharon and his son, Jack.

“One of Jack’s wishes was to join the police force and work with his dad and sadly, that’ll never happen for Jack,” Mr Leavers told David Koch.

“It’s just one of those things which should never have happened.”

Mr Leavers issued a stern warning to Ms Wallis, urging her to turn herself in.

“We know who you are, we’ve got an active homicide investigation, hand yourself in,” he said.

“The community at large are just appalled by what’s happened.

“Hand yourself in because you’re going to be caught.

“It’s not if – it’s when we’re going to get you, and you will be before the courts.”

Ms O’Brien did not appear during a brief mention at Caboolture Magistrates Court on Monday.

Duty lawyer Grant Young asked for a lengthy adjournment to obtain the brief of evidence.

There was no application for bail and it was formally refused by Magistrate James Blanch.

Ms O’Brien’s matter will return to court on August 2.

Tributes have poured in for Senior Constable Masters, who leaves behind his childhood sweetheart and son.

Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll said he was a highly regarded officer and his death was a terrible loss.

“I spoke to his colleagues and spent some time with them at Deception Bay, and they have got nothing but wonderful words today: hardworking, capable, a beacon at the station, much loved by everyone at the station and across the community,” Ms Carroll said.

“Sadly, this incident demonstrates the dangers our officers face when working to keep our community safe each and every day.”
