CCTV shows last-known movements of missing Norwich woman Gaynor Lord
Police have released CCTV footage capturing the final movements of a missing woman, last seen in Norwich.
Gaynor Lord, a 55-year-old mother of three, was reported missing after failing to return home from work.
Authorities have used specialist divers to search the River Wensum.
Norfolk police are working with Lancashire police due to parallels with the Nicola Bulley case.
The footage shows Lord rushing through the city centre hours before her belongings, including, jewellery, phone, and glasses, were discovered scattered in Wensum Park – her coat was located in the water.
Supt Hornigold told LBC: “[We] have been linking in with Lancashire Constabulary to understand any of the lessons learned from that inquiry.
“We’re cognisant of the recent College of Policing report into the Lancashire inquiry, so we’re leaving no stone unturned and making sure we’re doing everything within our power to find Gaynor as quickly as possible.”
