“While I understand the strength of feeling and am grateful to the public’s support in wanting to assist with the search, I urge them to please leave this to the emergency services at this stage.

We have a structured search plan in place and the best assistance we can be given at this time is the space for specially trained officials to be able to focus their efforts.
