"Heartbreaking twist after Samantha Murphy went missing:
Husband reveals why he didn't realise something was wrong.
Mick Murphy said Samantha, who never returned from a jog on February 4 and is presumed dead,
had been training for a marathon so when she did not return at the usual time,
he thought she was running further.
He did not call to check,
as he did not want to interrupt.
'On that particular day when she went missing,
I thought she'd just gone for a bit of a longer run.
She loved going running out in the bush,
she would leave on a weekday at 5.30am every morning.
I never called her because that was her time.
She liked to do it by herself,'
Mr Murphy said.
Mr Murphy said his wife would have run in the Ballarat Marathon which was held for the first time on Saturday.
In a touching gesture,
many of the hundreds of runners wore a piece of yellow clothing in her honour.
The yellow references her favourite AFL club Richmond,
whose colours are yellow and black.
Mr Murphy said
the mother-of-three would have been front-and-centre among those participating because she had such a strong will when she set her sights on a challenge."
The husband of missing Victorian mother Samantha Murphy has revealed he didn't realise something was wrong until well after when he had expected her back home.
