No mother should have to do that.”<\/p>\n The police had CCTV footage of people using Muriwai’s money card, but had told the family that without more evidence, they could not progress the case, she said.<\/p>\n Jacqueline’s daughter Ruby, who attends school with Muriwai’s younger brother, said there was “no closure” for families with a missing loved one.<\/p>\n Muriwai’s mother, Jasmin Gray, said it had been nine months since she had seen her daughter.<\/p>\n “I want some transparency. We need some communication between the families and our justice system,” Gray said.<\/p>\n She said a pattern of incompetent investigations and a lack of communication linked many of Aotearoa’s cold cases.<\/p>\n “We’ve got families with cases that have been going on for 20 years. We’re left in limbo from the criminals and we’re left in limbo with the justice system.<\/p>\n “I want to hear that there’s going to be some changes that are going to be made. We’re tired, we’re exhausted and all we want is to find our loved ones. We’re left in the dark and it’s not fair,” Gray said.<\/p>\n SOURCE RNZ<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Families and supporters of missing people, frustrated with lack of progress, marched to Parliament on Thursday to call for more police resources to bring them home.
