Judge David Robinson granted the man interim name suppression and remanded him in custody without plea. He is next due to appear on December 6 in the High Court at Timaru.
On Tuesday, his co-accused, a 40-year-old man appeared in the Dunedin District Court charged with murder.
The man, and four others, also faces allegations of kidnap and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm from October against a different person in Oamaru.
Last week the national dive squad was called in to assist with the search for Moana.
The search of the waterways in the Waitaki area was close to where a silver Subaru was found burned out two days after Moana’s disappearance.
Syme said while police had not yet found Moana’s body, it was pleasing to have made the arrests.
“We hope that having two people charged with Anaru’s death will give some comfort to the whanau. However, we know how important locating their loved one is, so this will remain a priority focus for the team,” he said.
