The search is continuing for an Auckland tramper missing in a Waikato forest for nearly a week.
The 79-year-old was with a group setting bait-lines in the Pureroa Forest when she became separated from the party on Saturday, March 23.
She is described as medium height, of a slim build, and around 167cm with grey hair. The woman was last seen wearing trail type shoes, black pants, and possibly a silver jacket.
“Police would like to thank land owners who have assisted Police and Land SAR in accessing and searching areas of their land and everyone who has provided information to assist in our search,” Detective Inspector Graham Pitkethley said.
“We ask trampers or hunters that were in the area on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 March to contact police on 105.”
“We would like to remind any hunters or trampers who are planning to be around this area, during the start of the Deer Hunting roar session, to be extra vigilant due to the increase of people searching in the area and to contact Police on 111 if they see anything that may help to find the missing woman, and reference P058194666.”
