Missing NSW teacher now a homicide case
After more than two weeks of fruitless searching for signs of missing NSW teacher Sharon Edwards, police are treating her disappearance as a homicide.
For the first time since Mrs Edwards, 55, disappeared from Grafton on the NSW North Coast last month, her husband has spoken publicly about his grief.
"Someone out there must know some little something. I'm just racking my brains out going crazy," John Edwards told reporters on Wednesday.
Ms Edwards, 55, was last seen between 10pm and 11pm on Saturday, after spending the afternoon with close friends at the Good Intent Hotel in Grafton on the north coast.

The primary school teacher didn't turn up to work at Coutts Crossing Public School on Monday morning on March 16, and her husband reported her missing the next day.
Police this week forensically examined three properties the pair own together, one in Grafton and two, including a vacant block, in nearby Lawrence.
Divers have spent several days searching the Clarence River in NSW as police investigate Sharon's disappearance.
Heartbreaking video released by the Edwards family shows Sharon playing with her baby granddaughter Harlow.
Police say the mother-of-three did not have a history of mental illness.
A strike force has been set up to investigate, and anyone with information is urged to contact Grafton Police on 02 6642 0222.
