A Marokopa man missing with his three children for almost a year is being helped to stay off the grid by at least one person, and may have found a structure of some sort to live in, according to police. Tom Phillips prompted a full scale search in 2021 after taking his children bush. They have been missing since last December. The children are aged between six and nine years old and Tom Phillips is a skilled bushman. Police have followed up several sightings of the family around the country but with no success, and are again appealing for information.
