Wreckage found on Mt Karioi

It is being reported that the wreckage of the missing eurocopter has been found on the slopes of Mt Karioi, two weeks after it went missing. The bodies are apparently still in the machine inidicating the impact was not survivable.

The official search has been criticised despite over 20 helicopters being used and ground teams searching.

To me it seems that the search was conducted correctly but I can understand the family wanting closure and to do everything possible.

Does anyone know of the search first-hand? Was anyone involved? If so, is there any substance in the criticism?
