To the killer of Lois Dear ...

You're probably wetting yourselves by now over what you have done and you know you just don't get away with this sort of stuff in New Zealand.
We have seen first hand the awesome organising the police are putting together to find you - which they will - it's only a matter of time.
So, the way we see it is you have two, and only two, choices to make - either give yourselves up now or sit there in your hiding hole and wait for someone to dob you in and the police to dig you out. One of these options will probably be rougher than the other.

Lois Dear's killer or killers have got two choices - give themselves up or continue to panic over what they've done.
Through the media, the Dear family has written a heart-rending letter to those responsible or anyone who is covering up for them.
In a statement, Harley Dear said someone knew who brutally murdered his sister in daylight in her classroom at Strathmore School in Tokoroa on Sunday morning.
The 66-year-old's body was found by deputy principal Janene Baird. Lois died from several blows to her face, head and upper body.
Police say they have no firm suspects but are confident they will catch the killer or killers.
They have confirmed they are interviewing several people but stopped short of calling them suspects.
Mr Dear's statement said people might be holding back information out of loyalty.
"So as Lois' family, we are asking could you please dig a little deeper and come up with some more clues to give to the police."
He had a message to those who were keeping silent.
"Please explain in person directly to all the little school children, explain to Lois' teacher colleagues and friends and explain to us, the family, why you feel it's so necessary to protect your friend/s from the justice of this murder."
Pupils and staff returned to school yesterday. Principal Murray Kendrick said he spoke to the children in a special assembly.
"I spoke about the fact we would not be seeing Lois again and that would make us sad and at times we would feel like crying. But at times we would remember all the happy memories about her."
Mr Kendrick said it was also a time to reinforce the school rules and safety messages.
"We do not fight, we do not swear and we look after each other."
Constable Regina Sheck of the Tokoroa police also reassured pupils, staff and parents at the assembly the school and community were safe.
Mr Kendrick said that when they went inside Lois' classroom on Tuesday to have it blessed, he was moved to see the word "courage" written on the blackboard in Lois' handwriting.
It was to be part of a lesson she intended to take at the start of the new term.
A decision about what to do with Lois' classroom would be made in about six weeks and would be up to the community.
"The gut reaction was let's pull it down - we don't want it to be there. But after it was blessed it was a different building. It didn't have the stigma it had. We may end up using it as a resource room."
He said there were a lot of people who had to be considered, including past teachers and pupils.
Meanwhile, Tokoroa taxi driver Les Hawera said he was working overnight on Saturday and took about four car loads of people to a party on Lauriston Pl, directly opposite the school.
Detective Inspector Garth Bryan said police had spoken to people at the party.
"But it is as relevant as every other house in this street. No more or no less."
Mr Bryan declined to say if anything belonging to Lois was missing, or whether her bank accounts had been touched.
