THE husband and daughters of a mother-of-two who vanished from her Melbourne home remain hopeful she is alive and have pleaded with her to let them know she is OK.
Adam Gray last saw his wife, Angelika Peters, when he kissed her goodbye at their Ascot Vale home before leaving for work about 8am on Thursday.
The real estate agent said his wife, whom he married in February after a 14-year relationship, seemed in good spirits when he left.
“This is weird — it is completely out of character for her,” he said.
Ms Peters, 45, was last seen wearing a blue top and dark pants and is believed to have left her Fisher Parade house on foot between 10am and midday on Thursday.
She did not take any personal possessions, including money, bank cards or a mobile phone.
The nurse would usually keep in regular phone contact with her husband and youngest daughter, Jessica Dionysopoulos, 21, throughout the day.
“Even if it was just to ask what they want for dinner,” her eldest daughter, Arna Dionysopoulos, 25, who has flown in from Canberra to help search for her mum, said.
But Ms Peters had been struggling to cope with a severe latex allergy that had forced her to leave her nursing career and left her practically housebound for the past eight months.
“Not being able to work everyday was hard for her,” Ms Dionysopoulos said.

She appealed to her mother, saying if she had runaway because she needed a break or was feeling down to make contact and they will help her.
“Just let us know you are OK,” she said. “We just want to know she is alive.”
Mr Gray said the allergy had changed his wife’s life — even recently being forced to leave a dinner early at a restaurant because a balloon nearby had set off her allergy.
“She wouldn’t leave the house on her own or without her EpiPen,” he said.
The family are rallying together and have been busy putting up flyers and revisiting some of Ms Peter’s favourite places, including where she grew up in Lalor, in a bid to track her down.
Ms Peters’ brother has flown in from Queensland, while her sister is expected to arrive from Ireland later today. Mr Gray’s parents have also ended their European holiday early to help support their son in the search effort.
Ms Peters is described as caucasian in appearance, with brown hair and medium build.
Her disappearance comes as police continue their search for another woman who was last seen at a sporting club in Craigieburn.
The second missing woman, Sandra Rogers, 41, was last seen leaving a sporting club on Craigieburn Rd about 11.30pm on Friday.
The Craigieburn woman is described as caucasian, with blonde shoulder length hair, blue eyes, medium build and requires medication for a medical condition.
She drives a black Holden Barina, registration 1CT 6SI.
Anyone with information about either missing women is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
