Is missing Melbourne woman already dead?

Police have grave fears for her safety, and are now searching Maribyrnong River banks for.

Police have grave fears for missing Melbourne woman Karen Ristevski, with orders to conduct a search along Maribyrnong River for her.

The 47-year-old left her luxury home in Avondale Heights at 10am on June 29 after having a fight with her husband Borce about money issues.

Karen said she was going to get some fresh air but no-one has heard from her since.

Concerns for her safety were raised when she didn’t arrive to work at the Bella Bleu boutique at Watergardens Town Centre in Taylors Lakes.

Her family said she had medical issues and that’s it’s extremely unlike her to not contact anyone in the family.

Karen’s daughter Sarah urged the public to help find her.

She told the media: “I just want my mum to come home.”

Earlier this week it was revealed that police had questioned her husband Borce over the disappearance.

Karen has not used her ATM card and her mobile phone is switched off, sparking grave fears.

If anyone has any information that could help police, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
