Commenting today on the police investigations into the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of Delu Desai. aged 42, the Hindu of Taharoa, near Kawhia, Inspector C. W. Lopdell officer in charge of the Hamilton Police district said: “It is abundanll/ .evident that the missing man never left Taharoa, and our job is to and him. Reports concerning the matter are being published without reference to or verification by the police. What has happened will only be known when Delu or his body is found."
Investigations have been hampered by poor communications. It is necessary to travel 40 miles around Kawhia harbour by road, then by boat across a lake one mile wide, and thence over a range of hills to the settlement, which is on the coast in the middle of sand dunes. A later message says that the police search has been intensified by the arrival today of parties of colleagues from Auckland and Wellington and early developments arc expected. '
