A Hamilton cold case investigator is hot on the trail of evidence that suggests a toddler who went missing from outside his Tokoroa home more than 40 years ago was wrongly concluded to have drowned.

Nothing of interest has been found by police, who have spent much of the day digging up the rear garden of a residential property in Tokoroa

The family of a toddler who went missing more than 40 years ago believe he could still be alive - a theory reinforced by a police excavation of a property in Tokoroa.

Picture of Jefferie is from last link in this post. His picture is held by his sister.

Come home soon.

Jefferie Hill was nearly 3 when he disappeared, presumed drowned.

All he left behind was a red plastic toy spade that floated on top of the winding, slow-moving Matarawa Creek, in Tokoroa.

Almost five decades on, his mother Jo Reynolds, nee Hill, is still desperate for closure; for answers on what happened to her beloved wee boy.

Jefferie went missing on a cold day in September 1968.

He had gone outside to play in the neighbour's sandbox with his little friend, Reynolds said.

It was 2-year-old Karen Stubbs who raised the alarm that Jefferie was missing.

She told her mother Colleen Stubbs and Jefferie's older brother Robert Hill, who was playing on his tricycle, that Jefferie had fallen into the creek.

Karen would be the last person to see Jefferie alive.

Fifty years on, missing toddler Jefferie Hill's fate still a mystery
