Family of a woman who went missing in Auckland more than a month ago say there’s been no sightings and no bank movements since she disappeared.<\/p>\n

Te Anihana Pomana was last seen leaving the SkyCity Hotel in central Auckland just after 5am on 21 August.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old left all her belongings in the hotel.<\/p>\n

In a social media post, a representative on the family made an emotional plea for Pomana to come home.<\/p>\n

“Our baby sister, where are you our beautiful girl? Thinking of the very first time I held you & the last time,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I hope and pray everyday you’ll get in contact. That you’ll make your way back.”<\/p>\n

Pomana’s mother, Catherine Anderson, also travelled to Auckland from Dunedin last month to help search for her daughter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RNZ confirmed last month many people had reached out to police, but authorities confirmed there had been no new sightings since Pomana’s disappearance.<\/p>\n

“Police and wh\u0101nau hold grave concerns for Te Anihana’s safety and urge anyone who sees her to call 111 immediately,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
