'Life was really good, and then this': Samantha Murphy's husband speaks
Samantha Murphy functioned like "clockwork", so her husband knew something was wrong when she
failed to return to her Ballarat East home on the morning of February 4.
After calling her mobile, with no answer, Mick notified police and began searching in nearby bushland.
"On that particular day, I was outside and thought she'll be coming up the road pretty soon," he said.
"Then she didn't.
"I just thought, 'Ah well, she might've gone a bit longer'. I went outside and said to the kids, 'Has mum come home yet?' and they said no. I thought that was a bit odd."
