Unsolved Elise Curry - Missing mum Aireys Inlet

[RustyHawk]

Has not been declared a murder YET.

Elise Curry, the 43 yo from Surrey Hills (usually one would describe that as a leafy eastern suburb of Melbourne) has been reported missing from the family holiday home in Aireys Inlet.

Missing since Sunday 01 October 2017.

Rest of family (Husband and 3 children aged 7-12) went to the AFL Grand Final and stayed overnight in Melbourne before travelling back to Aireys (about 1.5 hours drive west of Melbourne ) on Sunday.

Mrs Curry stayed at holiday home, had dinner with a neighbour on Saturday night. Not been seen since.

Big police & SES search of Aireys and the surrounding areas to Lorne. Reported she is a marathon runner. Search has included police air wing, mounted branch, police on dirt bikes as well as SES ATVs.

Police announced Wednesday 4 October 2017 that the search would be reduced to just police. In fact Police are going to do a detailed search of the family holiday home and up to 200m around the property.

That means they are looking for a body. They may also bring in specialist equipment searching for blood splatter? Further, will it be, as it is at the moment, the local uniformed police or police from lets say a more specialist squad?

Is this another Karen Ristevski? I personally think so...


Police would have had several days now to check leads including all mobile phones of key people. I sure hope someone didn't drive to Aireys in the middle of the night and drive back to Melbourne in the early hours AND take his mobile phone, or get pinged by a speed camera or use a toll road??

Very worrying.

Sad story, as it always is when young kids are involved. Hoping for no foul play, still quite possible she's gone for a run and fallen off a cliff or injured herself - not that that makes it much better.

The 43-year-old was last seen by neighbours who visited her at the family's Aireys Inlet holiday home at 10.30pm on Saturday. (Missing since Sunday 01 October 2017)

Police believe she slept in her bed on Saturday night, but there was no sign of her or the family dog

The family dog, a black labrador, was found by a neighbour roaming the streets late on Monday afternoon. The dog is normally kept in the yard of the holiday house and police don't know if Ms Curry took the dog with her when she left home.

her mobile phone and her bank accounts have not been touched.

this case is a very bizarre one.
now reports are saying she had dinner with 2 neighbours (a couple) on Grand Final night.
After the couple left, the female returned, and engaged with conversation of a "private nature" with the missing person.
Surely that neighbour holds a key here to any problems she was experiencing, her mindset etc.
Baffling case, and would be surprised with a happy ending after 4-5 days.
Dont think the husband is involved but if he is what did he do with the kids whilst in Melbourne ? Does he have water tight alibi. Dont see someone driving to and from Melb and Aireleys Inlet undetected if they did so.

Apparently police are going to search the same small area again tomorrow?

Wonder if they are or going to use a Cadaver dog?

 

[Dan Baker]

The dog knows something. Maybe he knows where she is in trouble? Apparently the dog knows the neighbour.

Her pet dog, a black labrador, was initially thought to have been with her but was found in a neighbouring yard in a distressed state but uninjured.

Police divers could be called in another day if the weather permits, Inspector Seel said.

He said police tracking dogs were not being used because it had been too many days and too many people had been walking in the area. #eliseCurry

The homicide squad is not involved so far, and they've basically said foul play seems unlikely from the start.
Closing down her facebook in the days before?
Coincidence or a clue?
Time will tell.

 

[FrankGrimes]

Seems likely she has topped herself.. closing Facebook/personal chat..
husband was in melb with kids..
unless she did go for a run and trip and fall into ocean?

 

[Dan Baker]

If she went in the ocean, she should pop back up

 

[zucchini]

Her phone being switched off and missing is weird, if their is no foul play then where is her phone?
Who goes out with their phone switched off?

Any perpetrator could have turned off Facebook etc from her phone too if they got hold of it, hence the phone being turned off.

People said she was in reasonably good spirits. The neighbour said there was a private matter, which leaves a lot to be assumed. Obviously the neighbours who dined with her are central to ascertaining what may have happened.

We shall have to wait to see what other info is released. That should shed some light.

No she wouldn't.
Youve been watching to many television shows.
Two years ago a Colombian backpacker went into calm water at cape otway and months later tiny fragments of body were found.
It doesn't always end like a CSI episode.

Thats true, but when the body decomposes. there is a good chance of it. If she doesn't end up on a beach somewhere.
Do you have data on floating versus pieces? The body will fill with gas.

The only issue these days is there is truck load more sharks in inshore waters of Australia. They don't have to be man eaters. Once something has a go, no matter how small, the rest might be scavenged.

This is the possibility I pondered of Robyn Santen. She swam out to sea, drowned and then sharks did the rest.
However, no tiny fragments of body were found.
There was a Great White spotted a kilometre off where she disappeared only the day prior. Tiger Sharks are caught along where Robyn went missing too but much less like to attack a human unless already dead. Not impossible, but likely after she had drowned.
Police have found nothing of Robyn Paton Santen.

But down Aireys its mainly steep cliffs with rock faces at the waters edge. Any person not fighting the water would be smashed against the rocks. Just pounded. If she went in at Fairhaven, then she might have a chance of having her body found but not Aireys.

Strange a woman would leave her children, especially a 7 year old. 7-12 year olds, especially if one of more are female. Terrible time to lose your mum and terrible time for a mum to leave her children.

But her facebook was shut down 3 days before she disappeared.

 

[aflcliche]

Was being stalked and harrassed hence shutting down facebook. Perhaps an affair she ended and didn't want exposed. He flipped and you can guess the rest

Possibly, but there must be good reason the homicide squad is not involved.
I don't think a lack of clues/evidence would be it.

 

[Dan Baker]

The made mention she was an anti same sex marriage in the media

She had email had been sent to SMH

 

[zucchini]

Also, reading between the lines it seems the lady was dealing with mental health problems and had been for many years.

I can only see 4 possible scenarios here.

She has met with foul play.
She has taken her life.
She has had an accident.
She has done a runner.

And I'd put my money on a or b.

Media protocol not to publish much about suicides to avoid copycats.

Body gets lacerations on rocks so gas build up not a concern.
Floaters generally appear in bay environments where no damage gets done.

They cant leave everyone in emotional limbo. People anticipate some form of closure.

Lorrin Whitehead disappeared in similar circumstances in Victoria.

Someone sent an empty card to the house of her children later on. Although similar acts have been carried out by murderers in the USA.

We also have Robyn Santen vanish, assumed swim but no rocks. People still hold hope.

You cant run on the beach the whole way to Lorne from Aireys so I dont think its possible she fell in the water. Depends on what her normal route is, if a marathon runner I would assume she takes the edge of the road, Great Ocean Road has a sealed edge like a bike lane width most of the way. But once you head inland its just scrub and bush tracks, if she has a fitness level of completing marathons she could have gone anywhere. Looks like the police have botched it with not being able to use tracking dogs or they know enough to suggest it wasnt necessary. The chain of events makes it look like suicide to me.
