The man who has still not been located at Otaki Beach is 35-year-old Jared Evan Anderson of New Plymouth. His middle name was incorrectly reported in our first release.
He is one of two men who went missing while using an inflatable boat on Monday 23 January 2017.
Police apologise for the error and extend their sympathies to the families and friends of both men.
