Tom Phillips has racked up an extensive list of charges in three years, but has managed to evade police the entire time.
New Zealand police are renewing the search for Tom Phillips, a fugitive father who disappeared with his three children in 2021. The search will focus on the Waikato region, where they were last seen. Phillips, who does not have legal custody, has a history of disappearing into the bush with his children. Sightings have been reported, including one by teenage pig hunters in October 2024, but searches have been unsuccessful. Phillips is also accused of robbery and shooting incidents.
