    Carissa Avison (21) purchased a gun and took her own life in a forest

    http://mydeathspace.com/article/2017...fe_in_a_forest

    A young Auckland woman missing since Thursday morning was photographed at a Hunting and Fishing store a couple of hours after she was last seen.

    Carissa Avison, 21, was last seen leaving her home on Dockside Lane, in the centre city, about 8.30am on Thursday.

    The alarm was raised after she failed to show up for her job at Auckland Transport, which was out of character for her.

    Police this afternoon released CCTV footage of Carissa at the Hunting and Fishing store on Holder Place in Rosedale on the North Shore around 10am.

    It is not known how she got to the store.

    The store owner, Peter Francis, told the Herald Carissa was only in the store for a short time.

    He confirmed she had made a purchase but wouldn't disclose what she had bought.

    Security camera footage shows her entering the building, and exiting a lift.

    She then received a ride from Holder Rd to Coast Rd in Muriwai on Auckland's West Coast after leaving the store. She arrived there about 11am, police said.

    Her friend, said she loved camping and the outdoors.

    Police said they were working with the driver and her family to find out where she may have been heading.

    They have not said if Carissa knew the driver and her brother told the Herald he did not know who the driver was.

    Avison was seen at the Hunting and Fishing store on Holder Pl in Rosedale on the North Shore about 10am.

    Sources said Avison, who held a firearms licence, bought a gun at the store, but police refused to comment.

    Avison then got a ride from Holder Place to Coast Rd in Muriwai, arriving there about 11am.

    She has been found deceased.

    The body found near Muriwai Beach north-west of Auckland has been brought out, escorted by friends and family of missing Auckland woman Carissa Avison.

    At least 20 people walked side-by-side together as a stretcher was carried down a track and then loaded into the back of a vehicle.

    They gathered behind the vehicle and watched as police escorted it back down Muriwai Rd toward State Highway 16.

    A man, believed to be Avison's brother, was holding flowers.

    Police have now opened up access to the beach after earlier blocking access to both the beach and horse tracks near the beach.

    The body was found by a member of the public last night.

    The 21-year-old Auckland woman went missing in the same area on January 26.

    Earlier today about ten people were seen at the car park at the north end of Muriwai hugging under umbrellas, with many visibly upset.

    People gathered at the car park at the north end of Muriwai Beach.

    Search and rescue teams, as well as family and friends, had scoured the Woodhill Forest and Muriwai area north-west of Auckland looking for Avison.

    Avison's mother had reportedly been camping out in the forest, continuing to search for her missing daughter.

    The Muriwai community has rallied around her, offering support and supplies and also helping with the search.

    Woodhill Forest is about 12,500 hectares and is owned by local iwi Ngati Whatua o Kaipara. The forest area is outlined in blue.

    Her brother Tyler Avison said she was a regular at Muriwai Beach.

    He described his sister as quiet and independent, but determined and very clever.

    Avison was reportedly dropped off at Coast Rd, near to Woodhill Forest on January 26.

    She left her home on Dockside Lane in Auckland central about 8.30am that morning, apparently heading to work in Auckland city.

    Police called off the search for Avison a week later.

    People involved in the search took to social media this morning to say she had been found last night.

    Woodhill Forest is about 12,500 hectares in size, and is owned by iwi Ngati Whatua o Kaipara.

    Auckland Council controls an area called Five Mile Strip which adjoins Woodhill Forest, that is a regional park.
