NSW missing woman case treated as murder

POLICE are treating the suspicious disappearance of a Central Coast woman eight months ago as a homicide investigation.

Leisl Smith, 23, hasn't been seen since leaving her Wallarah home in August last year.

Ms Smith's car, which was abandoned at Tuggerah Lakes train station, was found last September.

Detectives "no longer hold out hope" of finding Ms Smith alive, acting Tuggerah Lakes Crime Manager, Detective Inspector Chris Wellfare said on Wednesday.

He said police have told Ms Smith's family that her disappearance is now being treated as a homicide.

"They've obviously been left devastated and heartbroken by Leisl's disappearance.

"We (will) continue to do everything we can to find out what happened to Leisl and give them the closure they need."

Earlier this month, two properties in Wallarah and Brookfield were searched after police spoke with a 42-year-old man about Ms Smith's disappearance.

Police also raided a number of properties at Merriwa in the upper Hunter Valley during an "extensive operation".

Investigators have renewed their appeal for anyone with information to come forward.
