Sarah would celebrate her 28th birthday with loved ones on April 13
Sarah, from Wantirna in the east of the city, was last seen exiting a factory on Vespa Drive in Narre Warren at around 4:30pm on March 23.
She was scheduled to celebrate her 28th birthday with loved ones on April 13 and later take a family trip to Queensland.
Sarah suffered from borderline personality disorder.
Victoria Police conducted a three-day search in the Hallam Valley Wetlands after Sarah was reported missing.
The search was assisted by the Air Wing, Search and Rescue, SES, police drones and the Mounted Branch.
Senior Officer Adam Read said police found no property belonging to Sarah during the search.
One key item agents were looking for was Sarah’s phone, which last pinged on March 24, prompting officers to comb through the wetlands.
