ON a cold, rainy morning in August, 1989, Renata Wolanin left her Linden Park home in her pyjamas.
She was never seen again.
Ms Wolanin, who was 40 at the time, left her Verdale Ave home barefoot in the early hours of the morning, husband David Wehner told a coronial inquest in 1991.
He said he believed his wife had ``gone for a walk'' after a fight over renovations.
In 2005, Major Crime detective Sergeant Michael Standing said police had no evidence to indicate Ms Wolanin was still alive.
A neighbour told the inquest she saw a car leave the couple's house about 4am, but could not identify it.
Ms Wolanin was presumed dead by the Coroner, but there was not enough evidence to find if her disappearance was due to murder, suicide, an orchestrated effort or accidental death.

After his initial claim for his wife's entire estate was disputed by her parents, Mr Wehner secured a $50,000 out-of-court settlement in 1992.
The family of the missing woman say they have believed for 18 years they know who killed her and hid her body.
Her brother, Andrew Wolanin, said in 2005 he was positive his sister was dead.
But he - like the investigating detectives - does not have enough evidence to prove his theory.
He said he believed there were people with information that might still help police.
So there was a coronial inquiry in 1991. I'll hunt down the findings.
According to DW, left home at 4am in pyjamas and bare feet after argument about renovations...same issue he mentioned in his thanks to her in his report.
