A great US story on the Tom Phillips disappearance

Dan Kois at Slate has written an excellent feature on the disappearance of Marokopa local Tom Phillips.

His take is very much the same as mine. As first a certain amount of admiration for someone who can keep three kids happy and well in the bush for three weeks, but dismay as he turned to crime and may get them killed.

I’ve followed the case from the beginning and there have been some good NZ stories on it, but it was interesting that it was a story on a US site that did such a great summary of the whole episode.
