Bob Marley the key to finding dad
On the last day of 2020 Analise Forster sent a message to a stranger.
She asked if he’d once owned a Bob Marley jersey and had mates called Tui and Sam. She asked if he’d lived in Porirua more than 20 years ago.

She asked if he’d once owned a Bob Marley jersey and had mates called Tui and Sam. She asked if he’d lived in Porirua more than 20 years ago.
She told him she’d been looking for her father for years, finding only dead ends and doubts, and the pair swapped messages for more than an hour before Analise accepted an incoming video call.
And finally, there he was.
