Pig hunters captured video of Tom Phillips and his three children in camouflage walking in rugged terrain in the Waikato region

A fugitive father and his three children have been spotted together for the first time in nearly three years, along the west coast of New Zealand's North Island.

Just before Christmas 2021, Tom Phillips fled into the Waikato wilderness with his children Ember, now 8, Maverick, now 9, and Jayda, now 11, following a dispute with their mother.
