The brother-in-law of Karen Ristevski believes the missing Melbourne mother has not met with foul play but instead fled overseas on a fake passport, reports the Herald Sun.
Vasko Ristevski, 56, told the newspaper that Mrs Ristevski, 47 was experiencing tensions with her his brother’s ice addicted son, Anthony Rickard, and that may have motivated her to flee to China or the US.
“I reckon she’s run away. That’s my feeling, what with all the rumours going on about Anthony (Rickard),” he said.
“She’s been going overseas to America and Hong Kong each month for the past 10 years on business, and I’m told it’s fairly easy to get a false passport.”
Vasko Ristevski has defended his brother and Karen’s husband, Borce, 52. He told the Herald Sun “a lot of husbands” kill their wives “but no way is Borce capable of that”.
Mrs Ristevski, who runs a boutique, was last seen leaving her Avondale Heights home on June 29 to “clear her head” after reportedly having a fight with her husband.
