A fugitive father and his three children, who vanished three years ago, have been spotted hiking through remote bushland on New Zealand’s west coast.
Tom Phillips and his kids—Ember, 8, Maverick, 9, and Jayda, 11—were filmed by two hunters around 6:30 pm on October 3, in a grass field by Marokopa, a town on the country’s North Island.
This is the first sighting of the four since their disappearance in December 2021, following a previous vanishing related to a dispute between Phillips and the children’s mother. The police are now keeping a close eye on the fugitive and have issued a warrant for his arrest.
