David Wood, who knew the couple through line-dancing, described them as "lovely and friendly", with Mr Stuart "always messing around in class".
"Our hearts still hold out hope for Sylvia. The best scenario would be for her to be find alive somewhere, but the trail seems to be getting cold now.
"We were frustrated that there was nothing we could do, at least this is something we can do."
Karen Poll said the Stuarts attended several line-dancing classes around the Diss area.
