New Zealand police have moved to a new phase in the search for Erika Rodrigues Coelho, who went missing near Queenstown. The 47-year-old has been missing for a month and was last seen near Skippers Saddle on Friday 18 September.
Extensive searches and enquiries have so far failed to locate Erika. Police say the operation has now moved into a recovery phase.
Two specialist search dog teams from Christchurch and Blenheim have joined the operation. They are searching areas where police believe Erika was most likely to have travelled.
