Lazy police work.

[@terrikara6876]

Very much so, there's NO URGENCY IN POLICE SEEKING information or even following up with any leads..

[@lisabooth5957]

Police once gain taking no accountability & stop pointing at her faults and find her ,police can track phones ,you pay people for information,you have ways to find her ,do you job and bring this girl home to her family …

[@angeldark8812]

This is hard to listen to... it could be our daughters, goes through my head

[@chantellegauld9647]

How dare they label her

[@holliewilkins618]

These stories need to be share more. But wow the police... I'm left with no words... How disappointing. This poor family need to bring her home. Someone kwns, take weight off, time to talk

[@kimirio66]

The Hui - In all these show's, there is one main factor in each story - How sheltered my life is, compared to other families of New Zealand...The woman whose life was stolen by a Mob member for 16yrs, in a small town - A woman who lost her partner, who promised to come home - Coral a 6yr old murdered by her a P freak boyfriend of her Mother!...Three young girls sent to jail, for a crime they did not commit!...I remember a couple of the cases, yet never heard of other's...All I know now - How grateful I am to have my boy's and grandbabies!...We are not well off, but we are safe, with jobs, roof over our heads and food in our stomach!...What an eye opening series!...In reality, sad but true, there is always, always - Someone, somewhere, worse off than me!

Foul play GANGs probably & worse of all: people around them KNOW

[@Missngatai22]

A little too much blaming Gangs. Not every gang sells drugs, murders people. Non Gang members are just as prolific

[@vivienschipplock4029]

Such a shame police weren’t notified straight away and not over a year later.. praying she is found asap 🙏

[@victoriarihari4934]

Blessings whaea and to your whanau.

[@jeskasworld]

I pray the Emery whānau get closure on this.

[@juniormanutai8099]

[@paihereclark7619]

Racist police don't care. What a disgrace. Arohanui Kia koe e te whaea me tou whanau .

[@ngatoa1018]

All their jobs are on the line, as I speak. Arohamai RA

[@Kamahla.]

He didn't drop her off in Papakura 😤

[@edithcarroll8657]

So sad for the whanau

[@ngatoa1018]

She's safe with God now, nobody can hurt her anymore

[@lisa-marierota8860]

Useless

[@Peacelove19699]

Police need more information investigation this is wrong police

[@ngatoa1018]

They don't care, unless it's their own. Not even joking

[@Bebedollie]
