13/11/2005NewstalkZBThe family search for millionaire Michael Erceg goes into its eighth day today.
The hunt for the liquor baron and his Dutch friend Guus Klatte was called off early yesterday in the Ohura area of the King Country because of poor visibility.
Pilot John Funnell says the search will focus on Mt Messenger, east of New Plymouth.
He says rescuers received electronic information from the area which they believe could have come from a damaged beacon.
The helicopters used yesterday will venture out today.
Mr Erceg's brother Ivan says the helicopters will be joined by 30 people on the ground today.
He says it is a faint signal at this stage, but has significantly narrowed the search area.
Ivan Erceg says fresh pilots will be brought on board to allow others to rest.
