Jayda (L), Maverick (C), Ember (R).

Waikato Police announced a $80,000 reward for information that leads to the location and safe return of missing children Ember (8), Maverick (9) and Jayda (10) Phillips.

The children have been missing since 12 December 2021, when they were taken by their father, Tom Phillips, to a location unknown but thought to be in Western Waikato within Marokopa or the surrounding areas.

‘Police have concerns for the welfare of the children who have been living in isolation for the past two-and-a-half years, with no connection to others and without formal education and health care. Tom Phillips does not have legal custody of the children. He is sought by Police and there is a warrant for his arrest,’ said Acting Detective Inspector Andrew Saunders.

‘Today Police have deployed a team to Marokopa as part of a new phase of the missing person investigation. Police will be visible in the community over the coming days and we encourage anyone with credible knowledge of the whereabouts of the Phillips children and who is prepared to assist the investigation team to make themselves known to our officers.

‘We believe that Tom and the children are being assisted and we’re urging anyone who’s doing this to please stop, do the right thing and tell Police what you know. We are committed to finding these children and we’re willing to take the step of offering a reward if it will prove the tipping point to help people put the children’s welfare first.

‘It is hereby notified that a reward of up to Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000) will be paid for material information or evidence which leads to the location and safe return of Jayda, Maverick and Ember Phillips.

‘The Commissioner of Police will determine the amount of the reward and will apportion it if there is more than one claimant.

‘Immunity against prosecution will be considered for anyone who has committed an offence in assisting Tom Phillips, if they provide information or evidence which leads to the location and safe return of the children.

‘The offer will remain in force until 25 June 2024.

‘The Phillips family liaison has been advised of this development in the operation and Police remain in close contact with the family.

‘Information can be provided to the investigation team by contacting the 105 reporting line, quoting the file number 211218/5611, or by emailing to the dedicated email address op.curly@police.govt.nz.

‘We wish to reiterate that Tom Phillips faces charges in relation to aggravated robbery, aggravated wounding, and unlawful possession of a firearm as a result of a criminal investigation separate to the missing persons investigation.

‘Police consider him to be armed and he should not be approached. Sightings of Phillips should be reported to Police by calling 111 immediately.

‘Information can also be provided anonymously to CrimeStoppers by calling 0800 555 111.’

  1. Push someone into a corner and the reactions are predictable.
    Tom probably knows what will happen to his children once Orangi Tamariki (CYFS) gets hold of the kids, and who knows what other maximum sentences he will incur due to the bank robberies, etc.
    Victims of the New World Order- forcing families into isolation, hiding-out in the bush, and when CBDC’s arrive and no one has a job due to 60% unemployment, the elements of basic survival kicks in.
    That includes robberies, stealing, illegal hunting, and shooting at those who pose a danger to you.
    As Trends Journal editor Gerald Celente has said before many times; “When people lose everything, they then lose their hesitation to do whatever is needed to survive!”

  2. Maybe he’s taken off to Russia with the kids, like the German MP who was threatened by the government of having her kids taken off of her due to her support for Putin and Russia! She is now in Russia with her children, safe & sound!
    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn offers a bit of advice below;

    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn > Quotes > Quotable Quote
    “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those blue caps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Jews ran the Gulag Camps, and the blue caps were also 95% Jewish!”
    ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
