The search for Baby Anahera's mum: Coroner's report reveals extensive police inquiries
Members of the community earlier provided a kahu huruhuru cloak for Anahera to wear at her funeral. Photo: Supplied/police Warning: This story contains graphic details. A coroner's report into the death of a newborn baby found at a recycling plant in Auckland nearly four years ago has revealed the "extensive" inquiries to try and identify her family. The coroner says while the identity of the baby's mother remained a mystery, the circumstances in which the baby was found suggested she "endured an extremely traumatic and scary experience". "I can only hope that she has received the support and help she needs from somewhere." The newborn baby was found at the Visy Recycling Plant in Onehunga, Auckland on 16 August 2021. Despite significant publicity and police investigation, neither the baby, nor her parents were identified. After her discovery, the Onehunga community named her Baby Anahera (Angel). Coroner Alison Mills carried out an inquiry into Anahera's death. Her findings, released to RNZ, looked into the background circumstances of Anahera's death, the police investigation, the release of Anahera and the post mortem report. The report said that on 16 August 2021, a staffer at the recycling plant was working on a waste conveyor belt when they thought they saw something that looked like a baby's body pass by on the conveyor belt. "Understandably, the worker was initially in shock and confused by what he had seen. He was unsure what to do and a bit panicked, so he did not immediately stop the conveyor belt. "A short time later the worker told his shift supervisor about what he thought he had seen, and the machinery was stopped." A search was carried out by staff who found Anahera, and police were called. Detective Inspector Scott Beard. Photo: RNZ / Marika Khabazi Coroner Mills said police undertook an "extensive investigation" to try and identify who the baby was and her parents or wider family. The investigation established Anahera must have arrived at the recycling plant on the day she was found. On that day 104 trucks delivered loads of rubbish from across Auckland. "The delivery trucks had dumped the rubbish into a large mixed pile and the incoming deliveries were not sorted individually or separated. "Police searched the rubbish found near Anahera but as the rubbish had been dumped into one big pile prior to being processed, they were unable to pinpoint a specific area in Auckland where Anahera may have come from." Police also reviewed CCTV footage from the centre to try and identify which truck she was on. They also made inquiries with hospitals in the Auckland area, but were unable to identify any possible recent births that could be linked to Anahera. Police also used her DNA to try and find her family. "Several hundred names were captured on the list as being possibly related," Coroner Mills said. "These were prioritised, and DNA samples were obtained from the top 78. However, this did not lead to the identification of her parents." Coroner Mills said there was an "extensive media publicity campaign", which resulted in "numerous possible names" being given to police. "Police conducted enquiries with all nominated persons and obtained DNA samples where required, however, again this did not lead to the identification of Anahera's mother or father. "Police have also received numerous names from the public of women who could possibly be Anahera's mother. However, despite investigating these individuals, they have been unable to positively identify Anahera's mother." Police told the coroner the case was being treated as unexplained and would remain open until the mother and or father have been identified and spoken to. "I encourage anyone who has further information about the circumstances of Anahera's birth and death to speak to police," the coroner said. A full forensic post mortem was carried out, however it was not possible to establish the cause of Anahera's death due to the number of injuries she sustained after her death. "The pathologist noted the injuries were consistent with how she was found. No definitive ante mortem (prior to death) injuries were identified and no anatomic cause of her death was identified." The pathologist was also unable to confirm whether Anahera had been born alive, or was a still birth. Coroner Mills said the circumstances around Anahera's death were "particularly distressing". "I do not know who Anahera's mother was or what she experienced prior to Anahera's birth and death. However, the circumstances in which Anahera was found, suggests her mother endured an extremely traumatic and scary experience." Police had advised the coroner that Anahera's body could now be released. On Friday, Detective Inspector Scott Beard said a burial for Anahera would be held next month. The burial, organised by members of the community, will mark four years since she was found. Beard wanted to reiterate to the family that police wanted to help resolve the case for the baby and her family. "It's not too late for the baby's mother or someone within her immediate circle of family or friends to come forward," he said. "We urge them and anyone else who might know what happened to do the right thing and talk to somebody, whether it's police or someone who can notify us on their behalf." Anyone with information is urged to contact 105 quoting file number 210816/2825 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Corner Mills encouraged any woman who needs support with an unplanned pregnancy to reach out to the numerous agencies that offer support and services in these circumstances including: Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero , a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.

Battling the flood of drugs at Auckland Airport
Drugs siezed by Customs in February 2025. Photo: Customs / supplied The trickle of drugs into the country has become a flood, fed by New Zealanders' appetite for them and willingness to pay. Between January and May this year Customs officers nationwide seized more than 1600 kgs of methamphetamine, cocaine and MDMA. About a third of that comes through Auckland Airport - it has seized 542kg of methamphetamine and cocaine so far this year. Today on The Detail we head out to the business end of customs there to get the inside view of what's going on. Customs manager Paul Williams says they are dealing with an increasing number of smuggling attempts, and some of the culprits do not even try to hide it. "The biggest shift that we've seen is no concealment whatsoever. So we're seeing criminal groups using couriers and you open up the bag and the drugs are sitting there," he says. Williams puts the change down to criminals becoming more confident. "It's a confidence they have, with respect to what they're doing and I expect like any business they perhaps operate at a level of understanding of what type of wastage or what type of level of drugs they may lose with respects to their efforts," he says. When Williams started out in the sector, a little over two decades ago, drug trafficking was an occasional event, and when it happened the substances were meticulously concealed. But nowadays drugs are found in mail or cargo every day. On just one flight there was a haul of 101 kg. Customs manager at Auckland Airport, Paul Williams Photo: Customs NZ Tracking and uncovering the drugs involves casting a broad net. "It's not just an officer in a booth, we may have a dog operating... we work really closely with international partners around trends, observations, their own experiences and that helps us look at people in advance through the data the airlines have," Williams says. A large amount of the illicit drug market comes out of parts of South America and Asia, but Williams says that doesn't mean they only focus on people and luggage coming from those places. "The key thing to remember is that for New Zealand, we receive multiple flights and multiple vessels from a host of different trade routes and passenger routes... and so criminal groups will always look to try to hide where things are coming from," he says. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says organised criminal networks are driving the illicit drug trade, with devastating consequences for people and communities around the world. It says stopping drug trafficking requires long-term co-ordinated action to address supply and demand, and to prevent organised criminal groups from exploiting vulnerabilities. Williams says there is significant investment in offshore operations because best case scenario is catching the drugs before they even get here. "It's a real win for New Zealand because, just purely from a fiscal perspective, you don't have a court process, you don't have that lead in time to the court process, you don't have drugs that you have to store and then eventually dispose of. "You don't run the risk of those drugs actually entering society and having all the actual harm that comes from the consumption from those drugs," he says. Williams says the nature of drug trafficking has changed a lot over the years, so reflecting and learning from past cases is essential. "We've done a lot in the export space... to help and protect the primary exporters of New Zealand, helping them secure their supply chain a bit more and then they get trade-offs through the Authorised Economic Operator programme... faster access to market essentially. "We work really closely with DHL, FedEx, a host of other facilitators of imported goods and we look to educate them on what it is that we see at the border and we talk to them about exploitation, we talk to them about vulnerabilities within the supply chain. "The more that they understand how the supply chain works and where the vulnerabilities are the more they are attuned to what's going on and that then results in them talking to us and they can often come to us and say 'we think we've got an issue here,' and we will go in and we'll help them."
