Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Authorities in New Zealand on Tuesday released photos and more information about one of the camps where Tom Phillips and his three children were hiding before he was killed in a shootout with police on Monday.
Phillips had been on the run since December 2019, when he entered the New Zealand bush with his three young children. Until the manhunt came to a close Monday with his death, only brief sightings of them had been reported in the 3 1/2 years.
Authorities said the camp was found about a mile from where Phillips was shot dead in Piopio, a North Island town, located about 280 miles north of the capital Wellington.
Several firearms were located at the camp, New Zealand Police said.
