Woman’s body identified

Tauranga: The body of missing Tauranga woman Rebeka Storey has been identified after being found in the Waioeka Gorge last week.

Police confirmed Ms Storey’s body was found by hunters on Monday last week, about 4km from the Manganuku campsite. Her death is not being treated as suspicious and has been referred to the coroner.

Ms Storey (29) had been missing since September 5, when she told her family she was driving from Tauranga to her sister’s house in Ranfurly and intended to camp overnight along the way. — The New Zealand Herald
