After a three-day search, including the use of a military helicopter, “nothing further of significance was located”, according to police.
“Investigators will now assess information gathered to determine any next steps.
“Police continue to urge those in the Marokopa community to remain alert and report any suspicious activity, no matter how minor, to us.”
A group of pig hunters reported seeing the missing family on Thursday night, the Herald understands.
Detective Inspector Andrew Saunders said investigators will now assess the information gathered to determine any next steps.
The sighting comes after police ramped up search efforts in Marokopa and surrounding areas for the missing family in June.
An $80,000 reward was offered for two weeks in June in return for information leading to the children’s safe return.
While the family was not found, police received 50 tips “deemed worthy of consideration” before the June 25 deadline.
