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. | |
The couple, last seen in public at a farm shop on Sunday, 29 May, had apparently missed classes that week. | |
The local group she teaches continued with its class on Thursday, almost a week after Mr Stuart was found. | |
"It was difficult, but we decided Peter and Sylvia would have wanted us to do that, because they loved their dancing. | |
"The class wanted to carry on, it was a tough night, but it was nice to have everybody around and console each other." | |
On Friday, police searched fields near the couple's home in Mill Lane. | On Friday, police searched fields near the couple's home in Mill Lane. |
