New Zealand police have ended the search for two remaining victims still missing after a deadly volcanic eruption on White Island. Police believe their bodies could have washed out to sea and may never be found.
Australian tourist Winona Langford, 17, and New Zealander Hayden Marshall-Inman, 40, who was a tour guide, were unaccounted for following the eruption and believed dead. "The search for the two missing victims of the Whakaari / White Island eruption has been suspended," Bay of Plenty District Commander, Superintendent Andy McGregor said in a statement on Tuesday.
