Charles Chaz Strange was reported missing from Whangaroa Marina on Sunday, and police found a body in their search on Monday evening. Strange s body was found in the water on Monday. Head of Northland police’s Search and Rescue Squad, Senior Sergeant Cliff Metcalfe, said in both cases the contribution from the public and volunteers were crucial in finding the missing men and being able to return them to their families. “The community rallies in these sorts of times of adversity, and police really appreciate the support, he said. “It’s not the results we were hoping for, but we were able to return these loved ones to their families, for which they were very grateful.”
