Asian community leaders are angry that police will not reveal why the mystery woman last seen with Aisling Symes did not come forward.
Inspector Gary Davey, who headed the investigation, said police had found the Asian woman and had spoken to her. He would not give details.
Arthur Loo, chairman of the Auckland Chinese Community Centre, said: “Unless there is an extremely good reason .
But Asian leaders said yesterday that police needed to clarify questions about the woman, who was the subject of several police appeals, to clear any lingering distrust in the community… .
“As it stands already there is an element of distrust between Europeans and Asians.”
Euroasia director Kenneth Leong, whose company specialises in cross-cultural consultancy, said police “most certainly have to front up” with more details.”
Aisling’s body was found on Monday in a drain next to the Henderson property where she was last seen a week earlier. From a national harmony perspective, it’s not very good to have these sort of lingering suspicions.
Prime Minister John Key indicated a government inquiry was possible if this did not provide answers.
Waitakere council spokesperson Wally Thomas said a report into how the council responded to residents’ complaints about the drain would take up to 10 days.
Acting Chief Coroner Garry Evans opened an inquest yesterday into the two-year-old’s death.

Mr Loo said he doubted the initial information about the woman given to police. She would not give any more details.”
Mr Leong said that, when police first issued reports of a mystery Asian seen with Aisling, it had created tensions. “I suspect that she didn’t know she was the person being referred to, because she may well not have spoken to Aisling.
. The public had gone “overboard in terms of the stereotyping” and there had been unpleasant instances of people accosting Asian women

One of the country’s largest high schools has banned school balls after parents organised a booze-fuelled after-function for over a hundred students earlier this month.
Rangitoto College principal David Hodge said students and parents had “deceived the school” by bussing 150 students to an after-ball party on August 13.
The party – organised by parents and students – had boasted an “open bar” and “dubious supervision at best”, Mr Hodge told Radio New Zealand.
Mr Hodge said while he thought balls were “fantastic”, Rangitoto College was not prepared to put them on without strict guidelines.
The function, which was held at a disused warehouse in Onehunga, had also gone directly against strict instructions issued to students and parents forbidding any gathering after the annual Year 12 ball. The ball should be an alcohol-free event and it should not be the precursor to a large-scale after-ball party over which there is very limited control. “We set some quite clear conditions around that.”
The school had made their stance clear to both students and parents, saying “run an after-ball [party] and we will cancel future balls,” Mr Hodge said.
“I would have thought that giving alcohol to 16-year-olds was illegal.
The principal said he had advised police of what he thought was occuring at the after-ball party but was unsure if they had taken any action. .”
The school’s board of trustees had subsequently agreed to cancel next year’s Year 12 and 13 balls, but had not ruled them out indefinitely

A British man living in New Zealand for the past five years has died in the overnight sinking of Tongan ferry Princess Ashika.
The dead man is understood to be Daniel Macmillan.
Mr Macmillan was travelling on a British passport, but had a New Zealand driver’s licence. He has reportedly lived in New Zealand for the past five to six years. .

Forty people, many of them women and children, are missing and feared dead after the sinking of the inter-island ferry, which was heading from Nuku’alofa to Ha’afeva, in the Nomuka Islands group.
It is understood Mr Macmillan’s relatives live in a remote part of Scotland.
A British High Commission spokesperson in Wellington said the man’s UK family was in the process of being informed.
Mike Roberts, of New Zealand’s Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCCNZ), said tonight that of the 86 suspected people on board the ferry, 53 had been picked up safe and well.
The British man was among six foreigners on the ship, including Japanese, German and French nationals. The Shipping Corporation’s figure was 96 with 55 rescued.
However, reports of the number of people on board varied and it was possible more than 100 were on the Princess Ashika when she sank.
A Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion will resume searching the area tomorrow morning.
”Tongan police are working to establish exactly who is still missing and liaising with next of kin,” Mr Roberts said.
MFAT had had no calls from anyone about other New Zealanders, Mr McCully said.
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully told reporters in Cairns the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFAT) was liaising with British authorities about repatriating the British man’s body.
”Prime Minister (John) Key has taken the opportunity earlier today of conveying the condolences of the New Zealand people to the Tongan Prime Minister, who is obviously here at the forum.
”It’s obviously a terrible tragedy,” he said.
.”
The sinking was doubly tragic for the Pacific region as it followed last month’s ferry sinking in Kiribati, which left 33 people dead, Mr McCully said

Speed is believed to have been a factor in a car crash in Invercargill early today which left three teenagers dead and another with serious injuries.
Police said the four male teens were travelling in a modified Honda Civic when it crashed into the side of a commercial building on Leven Street at 12.
Three, aged between 16 and 19, died at the scene while the fourth, aged 16, was taken to hospital with multiple injuries.35am.
Senior Sergeant Richard McPhail of Invercargill police said one of the three teens killed in the accident had been removed from the vehicle while two remained trapped inside.
Formal identification of the deceased has not yet been completed. A hospital spokesperson this morning said the teen was in a serious but stable condition in critical care.
He said the surviving teen had been taken to hospital with “multiple injuries described as serious”.
“Certainly it appears that speed is a factor, but all the factors will be assessed by serious crash investigators on site and there is an inquiry team including criminal investigators looking at this,” he said.
Mr McPhail said an area of about a block from where the car crashed remained cordoned off this morning as emergency services freed the remaining occupants and tried to establish what happened.”
The car was extensively damaged in the crash.
“We are aware from our inquiries that it was travelling at speed north.
This latest crash follows a similar incident on Wednesday when a car load of teenagers crashed in Taranaki. .
Police said the girl was not believed to have been wearing a seatbelt
and died later in the evening.
One of the back seat passengers died at Taranaki Base
