Tom Phillips spotted by hunters in 'credible sighting'

Checkpoint

Marokopa fugutive Tom Phillips and his three children have apparently managed to evade police yet again after a "credible" sighting by hunters who passed them in bush, filming the family on their phone. The close encounter happened last Thursday at about 7pm. Palmerston man John McOviney said his 16 year old grandson was one of the hunters who saw Phillips near Coutts road north of Awamarino in Waikato. Australian David Craig was a former Detective Superintendent and federal agent, and spoke to Lisa Owen.
