Dozens of police will resume searching on Friday for the Melbourne mum, Elisa Curry, 43, who disappeared without a trace from her family's Aireys Inlet holiday home over the AFL grand final weekend.
Authorities have spent the past week searching the bush, vacant properties, under homes, in creeks and the ocean in a bid to find the mother-of-three.
Ms Curry only has a "very remote" chance of being alive in the bush along Victoria's Great Ocean Road, police say.
The 42-year-old went missing on Saturday night or Sunday morning, while her husband and children were returning from Melbourne.
Ms Curry is an avid marathon runner and has been known to run to Lorne - 20km away - via bush tracks.
"Unfortunately the best medical advice is that if she is in the bush, that the chances of her being alive are very remote," Inspector Peter Seel told Seven Network on Thursday.
Police and family members say Ms Curry's disappearance is out of character.
She is described as Caucasian, about 167cm tall, with an athletic build, brown eyes and brown shoulder-length hair.
It is not known what she was wearing at the time of her disappearance.
