No clues 10 days after missing Elisa Curry’s disappearance

Ten days after Melbourne mother Elisa Curry went missing from her holiday home after the AFL Grand Final, there are still no clues as to where she is.

Hope has long since faded that the 43-year-old is still alive, and her family still have no answers about what happened to her after 10.30pm on September 30.

Search teams and volunteers combed bushland and jogging tracks near the keen runner’s home in Surrey Hills and holiday house in Aireys Inlet.

They looked along clifftops and scouted from the air while divers looked for a body in the ocean below, but found nothing.

Elisa Curry (pictured) has been missing since September 30, and police are still clueless as to what happened to her 

The search was scaled back last week after five days, and police now believe she may never be found and it may be up to the coroner to determine her fate.

‘We haven’t arrived to any conclusion as to what may have happened. We are looking at all aspects, from suicide to accident to all the possibilities,’ Inspector Peter Seel told The Age.

‘But ultimately, if Elisa is not found, it will be up to a coroner to decide what they think occurred.’

Ms Curry was last seen getting into bed at the family’s holiday home after talking with a neighbour, and has not been seen since.

Police believed it was likely she disappeared while out running on the morning of October 1 and have not ruled out that she met with foul play.

Inspector Seel admits as time passed it was was increasingly unlikely that her husband David and three children would have closure.

‘It is distressing for her husband, her father, her brother, her children, her friends. And it is disappointing that we can’t give them an answer,’ he said.

The marathon runner watched the Grand Final with neighbours at her $1 million holiday house while her husband and children were at the game in Melbourne.

One of her neighbours then returned to discuss a ‘personal matter’ with Ms Curry and left her about 10.30pm when she was getting into bed.

Mr Curry came back to the holiday home about 9am on October 1 to find his wife was gone and called police to report her missing. 

In an odd twist, Ms Curry closed her Facebook account and stopped using her Fitbit just days before she vanished. 

Neighbours said it was known the mother-of-three struggled with depression and was in the midst of a family struggle over an inheritance, although police refused to comment on that. 

Inspector Seel said discussions with neighbours about her state of mind on Saturday did not yield anything useful to the investigation.

‘She was quite upbeat about the result of the Grand Final but apart from that, nothing of interest,’ he said.

She exchanged several messages with Mr Curry about the result of the match, but their tone and context didn’t appear to indicate she was upset or distressed.  

Ms Curry and her husband David may have been having problems with their marriage, A Current Affair earlier reported.

There were also ‘family disputes’ about the inheritance of the couple’s large property portfolio, but is not suggested family members were involved in her disappearance.

Neighbours told Daily Mail Australia that Mrs Curry also suffered from depression.

Investigators are trying to piece together Ms Curry’s final hours in the hopes they will reveal clues to her whereabouts.

As well as shutting down her Facebook page, the missing mother had stopped using her Fitbit, a wearable wireless device that monitors activity. 

Ms Curry was a marathon runner who usually wore the device on her regular runs.

At first police believed she had gone for a run with her black Labrador, but the animal was later found in a distressed state in a neighbour’s yard. 

Victoria Police Inspector Peter Seel said investigators were now unsure if Mrs Curry went on a run at all.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.
