Police searching for a missing mother-of-three have released CCTV of her last known movements – after her coat was found in a river.
Gaynor Lord, 55, disappeared on Friday after leaving work in Norwich city centre.
CCTV shows her walking away from Jarrold department store where she works at 2.45pm – an hour and 15 minutes earlier than scheduled – and towards the city’s cathedral.
Her possessions were then found by a member of the public in nearby Wensum Park, who informed police at around 8pm, with officers finding ID in Ms Lord’s handbag.
Her coat was found in the River Wensum in the park.
Norfolk Police said it believes she “may have entered the water” and “this continues to be the area that’s the focus of searches”.
