Classification: Endangered Missing


Vital Statistics


Circumstances of Disappearance
Elisabeth was last seen when she left her job at the Manhattan Hotel, Ringwood, Victoria at approximately 11:45 P.M. on Tuesday, 6 December, 1994.
Forensic evidence indicates Elisabeth was murdered at her house, her body driven away in her red Mazda, which was later returned to the unit.

Police believe a known visitor was let in. Sometime later she was attacked in the hallway and killed.
The killer spent hours trying to conceal the crime. The hallway wall was washed and a deep bloodstain on the carpet was attempted to be cleaned.
Police believe the killer wrapped Membrey's body in her doona and put it in the back seat of her Mazda. They believe she is along dirt roads within 100 kilometres of the Ringwood unit. They belive the car was returned 3 hours later.
The car showed dust and soil consistent with the Kinglake and Silvan areas, that was wedged in the wheel trims and doors.
As of January 2008, police interviewed a 41 year old man they are treating as a suspect.
