POLICE have ruled out a link between the Barmah National Park in Victoria’s north and missing Melbourne mum Karen Ristevski.

The Ristevski family have been on holidays to the area in the past.

Police were aware Borce Ristevski and his wife had visited the area but do not believe the location will yield any clues which will help them solve the case.

It’s now almost two months since the 47-year-old mum vanished after arguing with her husband.

Vasko Ristevski, Mrs Ristevski’s brother-in-law, believes she has fled overseas.

The Herald Sun understands police have also discounted this theory.

KAREN RISTEVSKI’S STILL ALIVE, CLAIMS BROTHER-IN-LAW

Mrs Ristevski was last seen leaving her Avondale Heights home on June 29 to clear her head after a row with Borce, 52, over money.

Earlier this week Vasko Ristevski told the Herald Sunfamily tensions between Mrs Ristevski and her stepson, Anthony Rickard, may have taken a toll on the marriage, leading her to plan her disappearance once her daughter Sarah turned 21.

“I reckon she’s run away, “ Vasko said.

“That’s my feeling, what with all the rumours going on about Anthony (Rickard).

“She’s been going overseas to America and Hong Kong each month for the past 10 years on business, and I’m told it’s fairly easy to get a false passport.

“I did put the rumours (about Rickard) to Borce, but he said Karen’s not here to ­answer them.

“I don’t think she will come back, I reckon she’s gone for good.”
