Tom Phillips: New Zealand fugitive father seen with children in wilderness for first time in years
I was initially surprised that anyone could disappear in New Zealand for that long. I always think of it as a small island, due to its proximity to the much larger Australia.
It's not as small as I thought. It's 268,021 km2 (103,483 sq mi), about the size of Colorado.
