1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: The police, as I said, have just spoken very not

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: very long ago at the Cordon Newshooks. They'd be journalist

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Done was there and was with us. Now, hey, Jordan, Hey,

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: ether any idea where they're searching.

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of the interesting thing about this. As

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: you said, one of the children they are talking to

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: and they say is cooperating. Well, but what the indication

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: they've got from this child is that there's no exact

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: place for it is as you were saying earlier, they're

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: saying these search is kind of a bunch of spots,

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: which is in this as you know, as you know,

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: a very dense bush area. And so they've got all

13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: these people out, they got fifty police officers, they got

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: the Eagle helicopter around. I guess they're just doing everything

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: they can before it goes dark to search for these

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: two kids.

17
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: What was the impression that you got from the way

18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: that the police were talking about whether the kids are

19
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: accompanied or not.

20
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: It sounds uncertain, I think, but they do say that

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: there's a good chance that they're alone. But the key

22
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: there is that they're not making any assumptions. They're going

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: out there as if there is the possibility that they

24
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: are being aided. They're going about this like there is

25
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: a chance that there are people who are helping them

26
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: hide perhaps, And I think all of that means that

27
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: they're going to be doing this very meticulously, very strategically,

28
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: and the off chance that that is the case, that

29
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: they aren't actually alone.

30
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and body is still the body of Tom Phillips

31
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: still lying where he was shot.

32
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. We're at a Courton which is kind

33
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: of an intersection, which is on the way to Matakopa.

34
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: But we actually can't see the body. We can't see

35
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: the scene examination anything like that. The impression is that

36
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: it's quite a way down the road. There are police

37
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: coming and going. They arrive, was even an ambulance coming earlier.

38
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 2: We know it's not so associated with the children, and

39
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: that's what they've said. They haven't given an indication of

40
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: when it's going to leave. They just told us the

41
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: scene examination is still taking place.

42
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: What are they taken from earlier this morning? From PGG writes, And.

43
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: They were earlier they weren't actually telling us that we're

44
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: saying it was farming supplies. So they have told us

45
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: now that it appears to be clothed. It appears to be,

46
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: you know, shoes, just that sort of thing. It just

47
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: sounds like basic necessities are nothing, you know, nothing like

48
00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: weapons or along er.

49
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: Okay, you no other press conferences scheduled for the rest

50
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: of the day, are they.

51
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: Well, they said not not schedule at the stage. So

52
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: they said, if they do find the children, they're going

53
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: to let us know as soon as possible. So it's

54
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: the view there is a very there is a chance

55
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: that we're going to be hearing later this evening. Other

56
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: than that they're going to be searching through the night.

57
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: They tell us, hopefully we'll have an update some time tomorrow.

58
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: They're going to be doing it around author Hunger that

59
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: I believe most of the police and media are being

60
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: stationed there, and that's why listen, Jordan.

61
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Just a question. I've got a text to here saying

62
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: why don't the police take the young one, the twelve

63
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: year old, and actually go bush with her and try

64
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: to find.

65
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: The family here? The next one question? And I asked

66
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: the cops that myself, why don't you bring the kid

67
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: out here? Ask them to point out where they're going,

68
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: that sort of thing, And they didn't rule it out.

69
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: So there is the possibility that are still going to happen.

70
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: But I do want to mention that the burglary last

71
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: night was in the middle of the night, so there's

72
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: not the full possibility that they could point out where

73
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: it is, considering they would have list this area in

74
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: pitch darkness, and which is actually an interesting point as well.

75
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: When the police officer came upon Tom Phillips, they said

76
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: it was a complete surprise because, as I said, it

77
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: was patch black. They had no idea where they were

78
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: to have happened.

79
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Jordan, thanks very much. Make appreciate it, Jordan done.

80
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: News talk z'b journalists. Now what we have got which

81
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: is available online so you can head to the Herald's website.

82
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: You will see it. There are photographs of the scene

83
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: where Tom Phillips has died, and what you can see

84
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: from that that you're not going to see the body,

85
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: it's been blurred out, but what you are going to

86
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: see is kind of how close everything is. The shooting

87
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: was really close range. Right, This is Tom Phillips opening

88
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: fire on the police officer. And remember it's with high

89
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: powered rifle. His body, Phip Phillips's body is probably lying

90
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I reckon only five or six meters away from the

91
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: front of the police car. The police car has the

92
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: driver door open, also has the passenger door behind that open.

93
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: Also has and I think you can read into this,

94
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the boot open. At least four bullets have pierced the

95
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: front window. For more from Heather Duplessy Allen Drive. Listen
