Last sighting of Gaynor Lord revealed as missing mum seen on CCTV holding white item & wearing coat later found in river
THE last sighting of Gaynor Lord has been revealed – with the missing mum seen on CCTV holding a white item and wearing a coat later found in a river.
Cops in Norwich have released footage of Gaynor’s last movements before she vanished.
The 55-year-old mum was last seen early on Friday afternoon, and police and her loved ones have been desperately hunting to find her ever since.
Gaynor was last snapped on CCTV at 4.01pm leaving the grounds of Norwich Cathedral.
She walked along St Crispins Road towards Pitt Street and finally up St Augustine’s Street – before vanishing.
Cops yesterday said they believe Gaynor “most likely” entered the River Wensum.
The force was today seen scouring the waterway in a desperate search for the mum-of-three.
Divers could be seen making their way along the river’s edge, while other specialists searched via boat.
Mystery surrounds the mum’s disappearance after her belongings were found scattered in different locations around the city centre park.
On the day she vanished her white work shirt, yellow tank top, and jewellery were found spread out – and her olive-coloured coat was found in the water.
Then, over the weekend, the mum’s mobile phone, coat, ring and glasses were found as police continued to scour the area.
Cops are now urging anyone to come forward with information.
Superintendent Wes Hornigold said: “Today we are releasing the footage of Gaynor’s last known steps on Friday afternoon before she went missing.
“We hope this will help to jog the memory of anyone who may have seen her in the city that afternoon or who may have footage of her journey.
“We are particularly keen on hearing from anyone who may have seen Gaynor in the cathedral grounds which she enters at 2.50pm and leaves at 3.23pm.
“It’s not clear where she goes inside the cathedral grounds during this time so we’re keen to hear from anyone who may have seen her there.
“We are continuing our extensive searches but would appeal to the public to come forward with any information which may help to find Gaynor.
“In the footage you can clearly see what she was wearing when she went missing.
“This is a particularly stressful time for her family and specialist officers continue to provide support.”
Detectives searching for missing mum Gaynor are “linking in” with Nicola Bulley cops to understand “lessons learned”.
Norwich Constabulary declared Gaynor missing after they found her ID inside a handbag – and learned she’d failed to return home from work that evening.
