The search for Erika Rodrigues Coelho near Queenstown remains active, despite the physical search being paused for now.
This remains a missing person enquiry and we are keeping an open mind as to what occurred, so any information provided by members of the public will continue to be considered. It’s important that people get in touch if they think they may know something, no matter how small, as it could help build a clearer picture of what has happened.
