The distraught mother of a missing Wantirna woman says she will “never stop looking” for her daughter, five weeks after she disappeared without a trace.

Judith Weatherstone said she was putting on a “brave face” over the shock disappearance of her 28-year-old daughter Sarah, last seen at a Narre Warren factory on March 23.

Since holding a media conference last week in a bid to raise awareness about the case, Ms Weatherstone is no closer to answers about where her daughter could be.

Sarah Weatherstone’s parents Judith and Steve addressed media last week.

“Two things go through my mind, one is that she is dead — I’m sure it’s easy enough to hide a body,” she said.

“The other is that she is hiding somewhere. That option is more heartbreaking for me, than if she was dead.

“She and I have never not contacted each other, ever since she was young I was the person she went to. She called me her rock. We’ve heard nothing at all, that’s the hard thing.”

Sarah was last seen leaving a factory near Vesper Drive and Princes Highway about 4.30pm, wearing a green jumper, yellow singlet, cream coloured pants and white sneakers while holding a white plastic bag.

Sarah Weatherstone is still missing.

Sarah's mum said she was her daughter’s rock.

Soon after she was spotted on CCTV walking along Princes Highway, no longer holding the bag.

Sarah last texted mum Judith on March 24.

Her mobile phone provided a signal in the Hallam Valley Wetlands in Narre Warren that day.

A three-day police search of the area failed to find the young woman or any of her belongings including her mobile phone.

Mrs Weatherstone said she had personally combed through the wetlands in the pursuit of answers.

“It’s just not knowing, we’ve heard nothing at all this last week,” she said.

“It’s heartbreaking and frustrating at the same time. You have to put on a brave face.

“I’m never going to stop looking, but I’m at a bit of a dead end. I thought something would have come out of our public appeal.”

Ms Weatherstone said the police investigation had been “fantastic”.

“They’ve done a great job,” she said.

“We just want to find Sarah. When it’s your person, it’s not just another missing person. It’s like you’ve lost a part of yourself.”

Sarah is caucasian with blonde hair.

The investigation is ongoing.
