Police say the investigation into Cameron Dormer's apparent hoax disappearance will cost more than $10,000. Dormer's partner of four years, Clinton Hughes, said Dormer had yet to give him an explanation, despite a six-hour phone conversation early yesterday, reports the NZ Herald. However, Dormer had apologised and said: "You know I love you, eh." Officers from four districts were involved in this week's search for Dormer and the acting inquiry head says police would consider seeking reparation from the 25-year-old, depending on an analysis of his mental state. "He may well be in need of some mental health treatment but that doesn't mean he's psychotic or psychologically unstable to the point that he can't be made accountable for his actions," said Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Moorhouse, of Hastings. Dormer suffers from a blood disease and depression, and is understood to regularly use marijuana and morphine for the blood disease. He came to the attention of police and mental health services a year ago, when he assaulted his partner, but claimed to have no recollection of the incident.
