Police have released CCTV footage showing the last known movements of Gaynor Lord, a 55-year-old mother of three who has been missing since Friday. She was reported missing after failing to return home from her job at Jarrolds department store in Norwich.
The footage shows Ms Lord leaving work early at around 14:45 GMT, hurrying through the city centre before her belongings—including clothing, jewellery, her phone and glasses—were found scattered in Wensum Park later that day. Her coat was discovered in the River Wensum, prompting specialist divers to join the search.
Norfolk Constabulary said it is 'linking in' with Lancashire Constabulary due to similarities with the Nicola Bulley investigation. Superintendent Wes Hornigold stated they are reviewing lessons learned from that case to ensure a thorough search for Ms Lord.
Police have not established why she left work early and described her disappearance as 'out of character.' There is no evidence of third-party involvement, and her family is being supported by specialist officers.
Ms Lord is described as white, 5ft 6in tall, with blonde shoulder-length hair. She was last seen wearing a white shirt, yellow tank top, large olive-coloured coat, and a scarf.
