Family members of the missing Marokopa man and his children are hoping Police's increased efforts make a difference.

For two weeks Police are offering an $80 thousand reward for information and will consider giving immunity to people assisting him.

The now eight, nine, and ten year olds, along with Tom Phillips, have been missing since 2021 and are believed to be in western Waikato.

Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking that they’ve increased the reward because they want to generate more support and information from the community.

He said that they want to get the kids back, as the situation can't be good at all.

Labour’s Ginny Andersen agreed, saying that while the offer of potential immunity is concerning, the main concern is for the children.

She said that in her opinion its warranted, given there’s three kids out there and they want to ensure they’re alright.
