Missing woman 'excited' for her weekend wedding

Stephanie Scott was busily making the final preparations for her upcoming wedding and honeymoon when she vanished from a central New South Wales town three days ago.

Family and friends of the popular Leeton High School teacher say her sudden disappearance is particularly out of character given how excited she was about her upcoming wedding to partner of five years Aaron Leeson-Woolley.


Mr Leeson-Woolley said he had not heard from his fiancé since Saturday when they made plans to go out for dinner on Sunday night.

She never arrived to the appointment.

“We were arranging dinner on the Sunday night. She was happy to cook, but I said: "No we'll go out for dinner”,” Mr Leeson-Woolley said.

“We were just talking about what we needed to do. There was no indication anything was amiss.

'The last words she said to me were: "I love you. Goodnight”.”

Stephanie’s sister Kim told the Daily Mail the bride-to-be had spent Saturday shopping for cuff links and a bikini for her honeymoon after months of excited preparations for the wedding, planned for this Saturday.

Kim told the Daily Mail her sister would not just run away.

“It's really hard for Aaron to hear that, obviously it's three days she's been missing,” Kim said.

“Our sister Robyn spoke to her for 55 minutes on the phone on Saturday night about how excited she is about marrying him.

“She wants to get married and wants to be there.”

Police have now asked the public to be on the lookout for the woman, who was last seen at her workplace on Myrtle Street, Leeton, at about 11am on Sunday.

Her car, a red Mazda 3 with number plates reading BZ-19-CD, is also missing.

A police helicopter is being sent to assist in the search for the 26-year-old.
