The scene examination of the camping areas believed to have been used by Tom Phillips and his children is nearing completion today.

The investigation team is continuing to work at pace with poor weather forecast for the next few days. They are working through areas of dense bush and difficult terrain where the sites were located.

Waikato Acting District Commander, Inspector Andrea McBeth says while the scene examination is wrapping up, this phase of investigation work remains in its early stages.
