THE last known CCTV image of missing mum Gaynor Lord has today been released by cops.
The 55-year-old has not been seen since Friday – with her loved ones and police frantically searching for her ever since.
Cops yesterday released CCTV footage of the mum smiling before she walked out the door of work – then rushing along the streets of Norwich.
They have now released more in the hopes someone may come forward with more information.
It shows her walking along St Augustine’s Street, the last sighting of her on CCTV before she goes missing.
Cops today also revealed “challenges” they have encountered while carrying out searches for the missing mum.
Chief Superintendent Dave Buckley, County Policing Commander, explained the challenging environment search teams are working in. He said: “We have been speaking to the dive team on site and visibility in the River Wensum is between zero and one foot underwater with temperatures as low as 4C.
“As soon as you reach one foot in front of you, visibility goes and then there’s obviously leaves, branches, debris, and the flow of the river to contend with, which is the biggest problem because there’s been so much rainfall.
“They’re swimming against the flow of the river, which is very difficult, and searching with next to zero visibility, and in a systematic manner. It’s very time consuming because it’s a large area to search and we must make sure we covered every feasible inch of water.”
It comes after a witness this morning claimed she had seen a woman who looked like Gaynor doing yoga in the park on the afternoon she was last seen.
Rosie Richards, who lives near Wensum Park, said she thought she saw the mum doing a yoga pose on Friday afternoon at about 4pm.
She said the mum seemed “calm” – but something made her stand out.
Rosie today told Good Morning Britain: “To me, she seemed quite calm.
“She was putting her coat down on the floor and sort of performing a yoga pose.
“It just seemed a bit odd at this time ’cause it’s starting to get dark.”
Gaynor was last seen on CCTV at 4.01pm on St Augustines Street – which is an eight-minute walk from the park.
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 and yellow tank top were found spread out – and her olive-coloured coat was found in the water.
Then the mum’s mobile phone, coat, ring and glasses were found in the park as police continued to scour the area.
Police yesterday released CCTV of the last time she was seen – and asked witnesses to come forward with any more information.
They published an image of Gaynor smiling ear-to-ear as she left her workplace – Bullards Gin, at Jarrold’s department store.
Then, in a CCTV clip, the mum can be seen running along the pavement with her coat in hand.
It comes as…
She seems to be in a hurry, rushing to cross the road.
The mum seems to spend 30 minutes at the cathedral before she is spotted on CCTV again.
She then makes her way along the street, putting her coat on as she walks.
She is last snapped on CCTV at 4.01pm.
It is now thought the mum may have met someone at the cathedral before she vanished.
Police are also said to be “linking in” with the force who worked on the disappearance of Nicola Bulley.
