The search for missing 17-year-old Marley has now moved into a recovery phase, police say.<\/p>\n

Detective Senior Sergeant Jo Carolan said a “helicopter conducted shoreline searches today, but sadly did not locate Marley”.<\/p>\n

Carolan said police remain committed to returning Marley home to his family.<\/p>\n

Further land-based searching near Taylors Mistake is being considered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is the news that no family wants to receive, and we are offering them ongoing support.<\/p>\n

“We would like to thank the members of the public who have provided information over the course of this search.<\/p>\n

“We continue to ask anybody with information to contact police via 105 and reference file number 250927\/3331.”<\/p>\n

Marley was seen in the suburb of Opawa before his disappearance and his car was later found in Sumner.<\/p>\n

Police released CCTV footage which showed the teen wearing a light grey Adidas hoodie with white and black lettering, black shorts, black socks and burgundy Converse shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Police, Land Search and Rescue, Coastguard Sumner, Fire and Emergency, Surf Lifesaving New Zealand and volunteers had all been involved in the search effort with boats and drones also used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The search for missing 17-year-old Marley has now moved into a recovery phase, police say.
