Bailey Magill, 36, was found dead in Waipapa River on May 22. Her car, a silver Toyota Estima, had been in a nearby car park at Cherry Park House for almost a week.
Magill’s dad Kevin Waterman said all the family knew was she'd been found in the river and toxicology reports were under way.
Waterman said his daughter had been a “pretty out there” person who periodically spent time living in her van, which her parents purchased for her in the hopes she’d leave Kerikeri for a “fresh start”.
Magill had been “a good sort”, Waterman said, with a talent for art and a passion for nature and the environment.
Read the full story below and anyone with information about Bailey or her van should contact police on 105.
