The New Zealand story is a strange one.
I read a CNN story in it and it names the dad (full name) and the kids. Mum doesn’t want to share her full name, there is an older sister whose full name was published but she doesn’t share a surname with the dad so assuming she’s not his?
He boy who took footage didn’t want his name shared but then they posted the full name of his grandfather who spoke to the press.
NZ police and the mum and disaster didn’t want to talk to CNN (fair enough as the kidnapped jids seem to be in NZ and not US but still might help raise awareness).
Don’t really have a point, just all v odd. Also a few comments about ppl supporting him he dad so I wonder what the back story the bitter divorce is?

The man wore camouflage gear, a long beard protruding below a mask. His features were hidden, but when New Zealand police saw the video showing three figures walking behind him, one name came instantly to mind.
