Returning to our lead story now, the search for Tom Phillips and his three missing children.
The stolen ute Phillips was driving was found earlier today and there have been reports the Armed Offenders Squad has been in Marokopa after.
The 36-year old and his three children ten year old Jayda, eight year old Maverick and seven year old Ember have not been seen since they disappeared from the tiny coastal town in December 2021.
Joining me now is the Mayor of the Otorohanga District, Max Baxter.
