'The investigation took another sensational turn at the weekend when the Herald Sun revealed that pings from Mr and Mrs Ristevskis respective mobile phones had been detected by transmitter towers along Melbournes Calder Highway on June 29, the day of her disappearance.
Mrs Ristevskis mobile phone was reportedly tracked near Gisborne, 40km northwest of the family home.'

'The data also revealed that Mr Ristevskis mobile phone was switched off for about two hours that day.
The new leads have led detectives to concentrate their search on rural areas in Melbournes north west.
Detectives have taken CCTV footage from 60 cameras at two service stations at Calder Park and are also studying video from Toolern Vale General Store because of its proximity to the ping detected at Diggers Rest.'

'From the moment his wife vanished, Borce Ristevski has been the focus of police questioning.'
'It has emerged that there are a number of inconsistencies in Mr Ristevskis version of events.'
'According to the Herald Sun, when he was initially questioned about his movements on June 29, he failed to mention that he had taken his wifes 2004 Mercedes Benz for a drive down the Calder Hwy in order to assess a faulty fuel gauge.
He later told police that the problem had fixed itself after the car hit a bump in the road and that he subsequently turned around and went home.
The Australian reported that Mr Riestevski told police he went for a drive just half an hour after his wife walked out of the house and was on the road from 10.30am until about midday.
The paper also claimed Mr Ristevski received a request to work from ride-sharing company Uber but was unable to confirm whether he accepted the job.
His claim that he saw Mrs Ristevski leave the house cannot be corroborated by any other witnesses and he has since stated that security cameras at the family property stopped working months before his wife went missing.'
