In September 2021, Tom Phillips vanished from the small town of Marokopa, New Zealand, with his three young children.
What was initially branded as a search for a missing family quickly became one of the most baffling cases.
For nearly four years, Tom managed to elude authorities, surfacing only through sightings, robberies and CCTV footage.
In this episode, we trace the timeline with the little information made available, til the tragic confrontation on the 8th of September that saw the end of the pursuit for the family.
Was this a desperate father protecting his kids from a broken system, or a fugitive putting them at risk?
What does this case reveal about the justice system, custody battles, and the limits of law enforcement and media-designed coverage?
Join me as we dig into the facts behind a case that is dividing the internet.
