Police, and Search and Rescue, are actively searching the area where Jayleb-Che was last known to be.
Police would like to hear from members of the public who used the ‘hot and cold’ pools on Waiotapu Loop Road between 10pm on Tuesday 30 September and 10am on Wednesday 1 October.
- Police are particularly interested in any dashcam or CCTV footage.
- People residing in the immediate vicinity are asked to search properties in case Jayleb-Che has been there.
Much of the search area terrain is unsafe for public to search so Police advise public and family members who wish to assist, to confine their search to the roads in the area, for safety reasons.
Anyone with any information is asked to please contact Police via 105, referencing file number 251003/5935.

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?
