New Zealand police have initiated a renewed operation in the remote North Island area, aiming to find Tom Phillips and his three children, missing since December 2021. Phillips, who does not have legal custody, fled into the wilderness following a family dispute. Officers are conducting inquiries in the Waikato region, particularly around Marokopa and nearby settlements. The challenging terrain has made it difficult for authorities to locate them, leading to widespread public intrigue regarding their survival and avoidance of capture in a sparsely populated area.
Police are ramping up efforts to locate Tom Phillips and his three children, who have been missing in the Waikato wilderness for over three years.
Detective Andy Saunders stated that this new operation near Marokopa isn't based on recent sightings but is part of the ongoing investigation to find Phillips.
The remoteness of the Waikato region has complicated police efforts to track Phillips, raising curiosity about how he has evaded detection for so long.
The isolated Marokopa settlement's rugged terrain and close-knit communities have left New Zealanders puzzled about Phillips' ability to stay hidden with his children.
