Police missed opportunities in the search for two men who fled from police and were later found dead in Tongariro National Park, an investigation has found.
Matiu Ngaronoa, 26, and Vincent Taurima, 21, died after getting lost in the bush in the park in August 2017.
On August 12, after the pursuit, police found the abandoned car and tracked footprints a short way into the bush but did not find anyone. Overnight the men contacted Taurima’s ex-partner and father who tried to guide them back to the road. Taurima and his father decided not to call police for help. On August 13, Taurima’s parents alerted police that the men were lost and very cold. The men themselves made three 111 calls to police later that morning and a search and rescue operation was launched. Police used cellphone technology to try to determine where one of the emergency calls originated and searched there, but despite hearing voices nearby they did not find the men.
