Dylan Barford, a 34-year-old father of twins, went missing in Auckland, New Zealand, in September 2023. His body was found three weeks later near a highway off-ramp. The coroner ruled his death an accidental meth overdose, but his family and authorities are questioning the search efforts and communication during the investigation.
