Divers are searching dams in regional NSW for the bodies of a young Sydney couple allegedly murdered at an inner-city home by a serving police officer.

NSW Police have begun their second day scouring a series of dams off Hazelton Rd at Bungonia, southeast of Goulburn, after a crime scene was set up on Sunday.

Police Commissioner Karen Webb said officers were "working around the clock" but were yet to find the bodies of former Ten reporter Jesse Baird, 26, and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29.

"There's someone out there that knows where those bodies are," she told Sydney radio 2GB on Monday.

Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, a NSW Police officer, has been charged with two counts of murder following the men's disappearance.

Police allege Lamarre-Condon, who was previously in a relationship with Mr Baird, used a white van to transport the mens' bodies and visited the area near Goulburn.

Divers had previously been seen searching a waterway at Lambton, Newcastle.

Police also believe the 28-year-old constable was in the Newcastle area on the night before he handed himself in at an eastern Sydney police station on Friday.

Lamarre-Condon was arrested later that day and is being held in custody after not making a bail application on his initial court appearance for the twin murder charges.

The couple's disappearance was deemed suspicious when blood-stained possessions belonging to both of them were found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla on Wednesday.

The discovery led police to Mr Baird's blood-smeared share house, about 30km away in inner-city Paddington.

Premier Chris Minns said the couple was taken "way too soon" and called for the investigation to be allowed to proceed as normal.

"There's an ongoing investigation and we need that to take its course and we want it to be thorough and complete," he told 2GB on Monday.

Ms Webb on Sunday asked the community for patience as police work to determine what happened.

"I can reassure Luke and Jesse's loved ones, and the people of NSW, that we are working around the clock to find those answers," she said in a statement.

Ms Webb extended her "heartfelt condolences" to the families and friends of the missing men and said she shared "the sadness and shock about the alleged nature of Luke and Jesse's deaths".

Former Network Ten colleagues of Mr Baird paid their respects on social media while the AFL, for whom he was recently acting as an umpire, said their thoughts were with the men's families and the umpiring community.

Mourners continue to lay floral tributes outside the Paddington terrace where police allege the murders took place.

Lamarre-Condon, who up until days ago had an active social media presence, joined the police force in 2019.

Photos posted online show the former celebrity blogger posing with dozens of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.
