Still thought to be hiding with his children in the Marakopa area. This has to be tough on the rest of the family.

"Police believe missing fugitive Tom Phillips and his children are hiding in or near his home town of Marokopa, and have stipulated they are not offering a reward if he is found, and that people should not approach him because he could be armed.
The search for Phillips and his three children ramped up after a sighting of him last August after they went missing in December 2021.
Phillips evaded the attention of police for 19 months before he was seen shopping while wearing a disguise, stole a car and then got into a fight with a member of the public last August.
Police then linked Phillips to a bank robbery last May.
The latest incident involving Phillips saw him allegedly steal a bike with one of his children and smash a storefront on November 2 - almost two years after he and his three children disappeared.
Today, Acting Detective Inspector Andrew Saunders said police believed Phillips was hiding in western Waikato within Marokopa or the surrounding areas.
“We continue to review existing evidence and new information and appeal to the community to pass on any details that could help the three children be reunited with their family,” he said.
“The investigation team working on this case have one focus – to bring Ember, Maverick and Jayda home.”
