Rosalie Anderson-Hill left her home in downtown Christchurch on a black skateboard on Saturday night. He was wearing a hooded robe.
Two days later, a pair of climbers found the body of the 21-year-old at the bottom of a cliff in Port Hills.
How he got there is a mystery to his grieving mother Miranda Hill, who hopes the public has the answer.

Rosalie Anderson-Hill’s mother believes her death was an accident.
“I just want the missing pieces of the puzzle. We need some answers so we can let her rest. “

Police say Anderson-Hill’s death is “inexplicable.”
They have received calls from several people who believe they saw the Linwood College alumnus in Christchurch and Lyttelton in the hours leading up to her death, as well as another from someone who may have found her skateboard, a longboard.
However, there are gaps in the schedule.
Anderson-Hill left her home on Alexandra St, Richmond, in a hurry after a brief conversation with her sister, Lilly, around 7 p.m.
It’s not clear why, but she was distraught and had told her sister that she loved her.

Miranda Hill says she will miss her daughter’s “goofiness and ability to make you laugh.”
It was the last time he spoke to someone in his family.
Anderson-Hill often wore her fluffy green and black smock in public and didn’t care what other people thought.
He was known to go off-line, so his family wasn’t particularly concerned when he didn’t get in touch on Sunday.
It was Monday night that they found out that he had died.
“Your children must not die before you do,” Hill said. “I wish I could get it back, but I can’t.”

Police want to know of anyone who was near the Cattlestop Crag climbing area on Sunday.
Hill said he believed his daughter’s death was an accident and that she had slipped and fallen 100 feet off the cliff at Cattlestop Crag.
She loved the outdoors and her mother thought she might have ventured into the hills to clear her mind.
Anderson-Hill grew up in Cromwell before moving to Christchurch with her family around 2011.

Rosalie Anderson-Hill’s body was found at the foot of a cliff in Port Hills on Monday morning.
In recent years he had had a traffic management job in Kaikōura.
Hill said her daughter had a boyfriend, loved her family and had made plans for the next year of her life.
She was halfway there doing puzzles for her sisters for Christmas.
“Rosalie was just a beautiful girl. He loved babies and children. He loved life. He would walk into … a boring room and fill it with his laughter and his smiles.
“She was just my beautiful girl, we are all going to miss her.”

Rosalie Anderson-Hill, 21, set out from home on a Globe brand longboard similar to this one.
On Wednesday afternoon, Detective Sgt. Damon Wells said a member of the public had found a longboard similar to Anderson-Hill’s, but that police had not yet confirmed that it was his.
He continued to call for sightings of her on Mt Pleasant, Lyttelton or Summit Rd from Saturday night to Monday morning.
Anderson-Hill had long dreadlocks and was about 170 centimeters tall.
She was wearing the hooded robe, white and blue paisley-patterned pants, and black and white shoes.
