Missing Melbourne mum sent same-sex marriage text before she vanished
Details have emerged of how missing Melbourne mum Elisa Curry spent her last day before she vanished from a holiday house.
The 42-year-old went missing from a holiday house at Aireys Inlet, a small town on the Great Ocean Road, over the weekend.
Widespread air, land and sea searches have failed to find her and there are fears she may have gone for a run along bushland and hurt herself or became lost.
But the Herald Sun reports the missing mum contacted the paper via text message at 2.12pm on Saturday to express her views on the same-sex marriage debate.
In the text she warned that people should know what they are voting for before they cast their votes, and thanked former Prime Minister John Howard for “being forthright and honest in what has been a vicious campaign largely run by extremists”.
“I love and respect gay people and they deserve better than this,” she writes.
The missing mum has been a regular contributor to newspaper debates.
Police are also considering "suspicious circumstances" as part of their investigation.
"Elisa was last seen about 10pm on Saturday evening by a neighbour. She went to bed, we know that," Inspector Peter Seel told ABC radio on Wednesday.
"Unfortunately there's been no sightings of her since."
Her husband David and their children had watched the AFL grand final in Melbourne and arrived at Aireys Inlet about 9am on Sunday and reported her missing.
An avid and fit runner, Ms Curry ran marathons earlier this year.
"She's actually been known to run to Lorne and back... along the tracks in the bushland," Insp Seel said.
Aireys Inlet is about 20km from the holiday town of Lorne.
Police initially suggested the mum-of-three might have gone for a run with her dog at night, but the Labrador was discovered in a neighbour's yard on Monday.
Mr Curry asked for anyone with information about his wife's whereabouts to come forward.

"We just want her to come home. Elisa if you're out there can you please contact us?" Mr Curry pleaded on Tuesday.
"If anyone has seen anything or heard anything, can you please, please call police, please call triple-0."
Insp Seel said police were keeping their options open.
"She could have gone for a run and injured herself, she could have become disorientated and lost, there could be suspicious circumstances," he said.
Police on horseback and dirt bikes have been searching rugged terrain behind Aireys Inlet, while water police have been searching the cliffs and coastline.
