Requesting assistance: Locating Ella

The Team from Counties Manukau Police

Counties Manukau Police continues to appeal to the wider Māngere community for their assistance in locating Ella Davenport.

Ella, 57, has been missing from her Hain Avenue home since Friday 20 June.
Police have information she is still in the local community, with the last unconfirmed sighting of her being around the BP on Massey Road in late June.

She may also frequent the 24-hour laundromat near the petrol station.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Robb Kerr says: “I would like to thank those in the community who have contacted us or spoken to Police about Ella in recent weeks.
“I’m asking for residents in Māngere and Māngere East to keep an eye out for her.
“If you see her, please contact Police straight away.
“We are concerned for Ella’s wellbeing; on top of this we have been experiencing quite cold and wet weather recently.”

If you have other information which might assist Police, you can update us online now or call 105.
Please use the reference number 250621/8662 for Ella’s case.
Police and Ella’s family thank the community for their assistance.

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
