Police say they have not found a woman who disappeared in Auckland more than two months ago, but they are committed to finding answers.
Te Anihana Pomana, also known as Ani Anderson, went missing on August 21 after leaving SkyCity Hotel in the early hours of the morning.
The 25-year-old was seen on CCTV heading towards Victoria Street West in the central city before she vanished.
Police last month said Pomana had withdrawn cash before her disappearance, and that her bank account had not been used since.
She had left all her belongings in the hotel.
Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Friend said police acknowledged the pain and frustration Pomana's family felt, and urged nearby businesses to help in their search.
"Police are appealing to business owners, particularly in the central Auckland area, to thoroughly check their premises," he said.
"This includes storage areas, outbuildings, and any spaces that may not be regularly accessed in case Te Anihana has managed to enter unnoticed."
Friend said police had not been able to identify any positive leads despite significant resources committed to the investigation.
"We continue to appeal to the public - if anyone has any information, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, please come forward.
"We remain committed to finding answers and bringing Te Anihana home."
Meanwhile, Pomana's family took to social media, to voice their frustrations at the investigation into her disappearance.
"Sincerely grateful for the ongoing genuine support and care for our Te Anihana, Te Anihana is literally one of the most beautiful human beings ever," the post said.
"Shes of light, her heart pure gold, would do absolutely anything for anyone. A keen go getter. A genuine beautiful old soul. Regardless of possible notes online. We have made it clear since the beginning Te Anihana was struggling with her health both physical & mental.
"The facts remain there has been a piss poor investigation since the beginning."
Anyone with information can update police online now or call 105 using the reference number 250822/6281.
