As winter sets in, the Mayor of Otorohanga is urging Thomas Phillips to bring his children home and hand himself in.
It has been six months since Phillips took his three young children back into the bush, after sparking a massive manhunt the first time they disappeared.
Otorohanga is where Phillips has a home before his disappearance.
The Mayor Max Baxter talks to Anna about their plea for Phillips to return.
