Detective inspector Andrew Saunders described the sighting as credible, indicating that police believe it to be Tom Phillips and his three children, who he does not have legal custody of. Patrols began throughout the area on Thursday night, and search efforts were initiated the following morning, though no further sightings have occurred since. 'While we cannot go into detail, we want to reassure the public that we have the resources in place to respond to any information or reports of sightings that come in,' he added.
Phillips and the children were last spotted together in a video filmed by teenagers on the Marokopa farmland, showing a man believed to be Phillips carrying a backpack and his three children wearing camouflage gear. The police are prioritizing the safe return of the children to their family, highlighting the urgency and seriousness of the situation.
