Maile Abaijah, the woman's niece said she went out fishing at around 4pm that afternoon and did not return. "After we (the family) realised that she was missing, we recruited a search party and went out on Sunday morning looking for her. We checked around East Cape area and the nearby outer islands but our searches were unsuccessful."
Abaijah said yesterday four dinghies went out looking for her around the Basilaki island but they ran out of zoom and had to call off the search.
