On the day before she vanished, high school teacher Stephanie Scott had gone on a shopping trip to buy a new pair of swimmers and some sunscreen.

It was Saturday, one week to the day before the 26-year-old resident of the NSW Riverina town of Leeton was due to marry her partner Aaron Leeson-Woolley, and Ms Scott was shopping in preparation for their 10-day honeymoon to Tahiti.
"I spoke to her on that Saturday night, and she was over the moon, she was so excited. She had been to Griffith that day shopping and getting ready for the honeymoon," Ms Scott's sister, Robyn, told Fairfax Media.
"We spoke about how this time next week she would be married.
"There's just no clue. There's nothing that we're aware of; she just hasn't been seen since Sunday."
More than 100 guests were expected to gather to celebrate the couple's wedding in the central western NSW town of Eugowra, but, on Wednesday morning, Ms Scott's family were urging people to head to Leeton instead to join the search.
Her family were also left with the heartbreaking task of cancelling some of the arrangements for the wedding.
Ms Scott was last seen at Leeton High School, on Myrtle Street, about 11am on Easter Sunday.
Robyn said her sister was at the school preparing lessons for a replacement teacher who would take over her English and drama classes while she was on honeymoon.
Robyn said that, at 12.59pm on Easter Sunday, her sister sent an email to the bus company that was due to take wedding guests to the reception venue on Saturday. In the email, Ms Scott confirmed she had paid the final deposit into the bus company's bank account.
That was Ms Scott's last known action.
A friend who had earlier reported seeing Ms Scott at Woolworths on Sunday afternoon was mistaken, and had actually seen her at the supermarket on the Saturday afternoon, Robyn said.
Mr Leeson-Woolley had been visiting his family in Canowindra for Easter, but had returned home to Leeton on Sunday afternoon.
He and Ms Scott had a dinner reservation at 8pm on Sunday, but when he returned to their Leeton home, his fiancee was not there.
Calls to Ms Scott's phone initially rang out, and are now going straight to the message bank, Robyn said.
"I just don't know what has happened," Robyn said.
"Everyone has been so supportive. All of our family and friends, teachers from the school have been out searching. We need to find her now. This will be the fourth night that she hasn't been at home in her own bed."
Robyn said that there was no way her sister had disappeared due to pre-wedding jitters.
Friends also said she was extremely excited for her upcoming nuptials.
"No way it's cold feet! Everyone that knows steph knows it's not cold feet!," one friend wrote online.
She said Ms Scott was a very stable person with no history of mental health problems, and her sudden disappearance had left everyone extremely worried for her safety.
Mr Leeson-Woolley told Fairfax Media this week that he last spoke to his fiancee on the phone from Canowindra on the night before her disappearance.
During that phone call "everything seemed pretty fine", he said.
"This is very out of character. I'm feeling pretty distressed," he said.
"I don't really know to be honest. I don't know what could have happened.
"One of her friends rang her on Easter Sunday and she was saying how she was excited and couldn't wait [for the wedding]. That's the last time [anyone heard from her]."
When she was last seen, Ms Scott was wearing a white shirt and cargo pants.
She was driving a red Mazda 3 sedan, with registration BZ-19-CD, on the day she vanished, and it has not been seen since.
Robyn said there was a large crack in the middle of the vehicle's windscreen.
Police have urged anyone with information about Ms Scott's location, or who has seen her vehicle in the past three days, to contact Griffith police on (02) 6969 4310 or to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
