The mum was last seen early Friday afternoon and police and her loved ones have been desperately searching for her ever since.
Officers said yesterday they believed Gaynor “most likely” entered the River Wensum.
Sila was seen scouring the waterway today in a desperate search for the mum-of-three.
Divers could be seen making their way along the edge of the river, while other experts searched by boat.
Mystery surrounds a mother’s disappearance after her belongings were found scattered in various locations in a downtown park.
On the day she went missing, her white work shirt, yellow tank top and jewelery were found strewn about – and her olive drab 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 search the area.
Today they released CCTV of when she was last seen – and are asking people to come forward with more information.
Police released a picture of Gaynor smiling from ear to ear as she left her workplace – Bullards Gin, at Jarrold’s department store.
Then CCTV footage shows the mum running down the path with her coat in hand.
She seems to be in a hurry, in a hurry to cross the road.
The mum appears to have spent 30 minutes in the cathedral before being spotted again on CCTV.
As he makes his way down the street, putting on his coat as he walks.
It was last recorded on CCTV at 16.01.
It comes as…
Officers are now urging anyone to come forward with information.
Norwich Police Commander, Chief Wes Hornigold, said: “Today we are releasing footage of Gaynora’s last known steps on the Friday afternoon before she went missing.
“We hope this will help remember anyone who may have seen her in town that afternoon or who may have footage of her journey.
“We are particularly interested to hear from anyone who may have seen Gaynor at the cathedral where she enters at 2.50pm and leaves at 3.23pm.
“It is not clear where she was going inside the cathedral during that time so we would like to hear from anyone who may have seen her there.
“We are continuing our extensive search, but would appeal to the public to come forward with any information that may assist in locating Gaynor.
We want her home.
Daughter of Alexandra LordGaynor
“The video clearly shows what she was wearing when she disappeared.
“This is a particularly stressful time for her family and professionals are continuing to provide support.”
Gaynor was declared missing by Norwich Police after they found her ID in her bag – and learned she had not returned home from work that evening.
Police divers, assisted by fire crews and the coastguard, were seen yesterday searching the nearby River Wensum using sonar equipment to examine the water.
Officers also used drones and foot searches to look for further leads.
It comes after Gaynor’s family made a desperate plea yesterday – five days of searching for their mother.
Her daughter Aleksandra posted on Facebook: “Please share, if anyone knows anything please contact the police.”
“We want her home.”
Anyone with information or who knows her whereabouts is asked to contact Norfolk Police on 101 quoting incident number 427 of 8 December 2023.
