According to 1 News, Phillips fled with the children on December 9, 2021. The father was first wanted in January, when he did not appear in court.

He had to appear in court because in September of the same year he launched what police believed was an expensive and unnecessary search for missing persons. Phillips had failed to make a sound during what he claimed was a 19-day camping trip with children in the local area.
