    Search and rescue teams are looking for a missing woman in the North Island and two trampers in the South Island

    Search and rescue teams are looking for a missing woman in the North Island and two trampers in the South Island


    They're scouring the area around the Hunua Falls in Auckland for Elicia Hughes-Sutherland, who was reported missing from Papakura on Thursday.

    The 25-year-old's grey Mazda Demio was located in the carpark at the falls yesterday.

    And thirty-five volunteers are searching the Tasman District for missing trampers Jessica O'Connor and Dion Reynolds.

    The 23-year-olds haven't been seen since May 9.

    An infrared drone was used overnight and an Air Force helicopter and crew are up in the air again today looking for them.
