1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Police say that they've had information on the missing Martikopa

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: dad come in overnight after they offered that eighty thousand

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: dollars reward yesterday. They have a chopper in the air

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: today they've set up four checkpoints around the town. Mariana

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Garcia is a Waikator Herald reporter who's been at the

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: scene today. Mariana, Hello, Hello. Does it sound to you

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: like any of the information that's come in overnight is

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: actually good information?

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: It's really hard to tell hither. The police haven't confirmed

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: either way whether any of their tips have panned out,

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: but there is a very heavy police presence in the

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: town today.

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: And what are they running these checkpoints for exactly?

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: They seem to be checking inside of vehicles that are

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: coming and going from not A Koppa and also checking

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: driver's licenses and identifications of each vehicle that comes through.

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: It is the point of that to just put pressure

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: on the community.

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: They haven't said either way, but I think they seem

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: to be trying to find someone, and that seems to

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 2: be what they're doing.

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: And the chopper, where has the chopper been flying.

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: The chopper's been flying over the Matacoppa area. It came

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: through this morning and did a loop around that coastal

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 2: area this evening. It could come back. We haven't had

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: confirmation of that yet.

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: Do you get the sense that the community is behind

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: Tom Phillips or behind the effort from the cops.

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: There was no members of the community that I spoke

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: to today. They seem to be rather quiet in town.

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: There was no one that I could see on the streets,

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: even aside from police, So it's really hard to tell.

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Marianna, thank you very much, Really appreciate it. Mate. This
