Mum: ‘No way she had cold feet’

Home video footage of missing bride-to-be Stephanie Scott

THE fiance of a missing bride-to-be said on the night she vanished he texted friends and drove past the restaurant where the pair had a reservation.

Aaron ­Leeson-Woolley reported Stephanie Scott, 26, whom he is due to marry on Saturday, missing the following afternoon, Easter Monday.

Ms Scott, a popular ­teacher at Leeton High School in the state's southwest, was last seen at 11am on Easter Sunday by a colleague as she finished lesson plans to be used while she was on her honeymoon in Tahiti.

She emailed a bus company at 12.59pm about the wedding but has not been seen or heard from since.

Mr Leeson-Woolley, a local abattoir worker, said he had been at a friend's farewell party in their home town of Canowindra on Sunday but, when he returned home that afternoon, Ms Scott was missing. He drove past The Village restaurant, where they were to have dinner, but could not see her car.

It wasn't until about 11am on Monday that he phoned Ms Scott's parents to see if she had gone to visit them, before reporting her missing.

Last night, Mr Leeson-Woolley pleaded for Ms Scott to come home, saying: "Three days, bad things (thoughts) are coming in."

"I drove past a couple of times, then I rang The Village at five to eight to cancel. Then I kept looking 'til about nine," he said. "I was looking around and I messaged a couple of friends to see if they had seen her. At the time there wasn't a big concern, I was just checking if anyone had heard from her."

After his fiancee failed to return home on Sunday night, Mr Leeson-Woolley contacted Ms Scott's family in Canowindra. He said her disappearance was out of character.

"This is out of place, it's not what she does. Even if she went an hour without talking to me, she'll eventually message me. It's not ­normal for her to do this," Mr Leeson-Woolley said.

"This is shocking. It's just out of the blue, she's never done this before. I just don't know what to do or where to look. Where else do you go?"

Mr Leeson-Woolley described his fiance as a "bubbly, happy" person and said they were both "over the moon to be getting married". He urged her to "pick up the phone ... ring the police or ring me".

Ms Scott spent most of the long weekend preparing for her wedding. Suggestions the 26-year-old was having "cold feet'' were shot down yesterday by her mother, ­sister and fiance.

"She was looking forward to the wedding,'' her mother Merrilyn said. "All her actions on the weekend, and ­before, were of someone ­excited about the wedding, planning for the wedding and looking forward to it,'' she said from the family home in Canowindra.

The family has hired a helicopter and family and friends have descended on Leeton to help the search.

"Sometime between 12 and 1pm on Easter Sunday something has happened. She would not just disappear,'' her mother said. The last time Ms Scott accessed money was on Saturday when she drove 60km to Griffith and bought cuff links with her key card. Her red Mazda3 sedan with registration BZ-19-CD is also missing.

Police are still treating the disappearance as a missing persons case, though details of her case have been forwarded to the NSW Homicide Squad, which is routinely done in such cases.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Griffith Police on 6969 4310.
