Possible sighting of Marakopa family

[Lilith7]

They've got a helicopter up looking, so they think its credible. It would be lovely for the rest of their family if they could be home for Xmas.

Im surprised hunters had not spotted him earlier, i guess he had been on the move constantly or else hiding in a cave as was suspected.
This is the sort of thing that could be made into a movie at this point!
Surely they should have tracked him down by now but perhaps he has fled the area if he got wind of the news.

I think he's probably being careful to keep up with the news reports about them, so he can stay one step ahead. And yes, it could be a movie one day.

Yes I expect he is paying close attention to the news, plus its expected that he has people assisting him, hence why it was hoped the reward may have been enough to twist the arm of anyone assisting him.

Speaking of films, there actually was a film called leave no trace that was released about a year before his disappearance, perhaps this was an inspiration?

[Lilith7]

I saw that - it had Thomasin Mckenzie (Miranda Harcourt's daughter & Granddaughter of Kate Harcourt) & she's excellent, & I bet she wins an Oscar one of these days. I think its at least possible that he took inspiration from that movie.

Video taken by the hunters has been released. Those kids will be fit and bush wise by now.

Yeah I just stumbled across that page.
Surely they can't be far off from locating them now.
Those kids definitely would have learned some good survival skills if nothing else. I wonder what they have been eating all this time?

On the subject of survival skills and resilience the book The Boy From Gorge River by Chris Long is a great read. Chris's parents and remote location have featured in Ben Fogle's 'Where The Wild Men Are' series.

"Chris's parents and remote location have featured in Ben Fogle's 'Where The Wild Men Are' series."

That's a really good series.

[Lilith7]

I remember Ben Fogle from years ago, in one of those first reality series, Castaway where a group had to survive on an island in the Outer Hebrides for a year. Definitely one of the best of that genre.


There's been a claim that police have been too slow to investigate this latest sighting.

Barry Crumps Wild Pork and Watercress AKA Hunt for the Wilderpeople has a very similar theme also.

Also Sam Neill's breakthrough movie effort, Sleeping Dogs based on the book Smith's Dream by C.K. Stead.

A child psychologist saye the Marakopa kids may have 'Stockholm syndrome.'

The interview with their Mum is interesting, poor woman.

Interesting they havent located them yet, that seemed a good lead, even sounds like the hunters had even approached them and had a conversation.
