<\/p>\nA WITNESS has told cops searching for Gaynor Lord that they saw a woman removing her coat and performing a yoga pose on the day the mum vanished. <\/p>\n
The 55-year-old was last seen early on Friday afternoon, and police have been desperately hunting to find her ever since. <\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Cops have said they believe Gaynor\u00a0\u201cmost likely\u201d entered the River Wensum in Norwich. <\/p>\n
Mystery surrounds the mum's disappearance after her belongings were found scattered in different locations around the city centre park.<\/p>\n
Her white work shirt, yellow tank top, and jewellery\u00a0were found spread out – and her olive-coloured coat was found in the water.<\/p>\n
A witness has now come forward and said they believe they saw a woman matching the mum-of-three's description on the afternoon she disappeared. <\/p>\n
Norwich Evening News reported an onlooker saw "someone who could have been Gaynor at 4pm in the park". <\/p>\n It added: "The witness said the woman removed her coat and performed a yoga pose." <\/p>\n Rosie Richards, who lives near the park, said she believes she saw Gaynor, too. <\/p>\n She told the BBC:\u00a0"It's really upsetting… I'm just thinking of her friends and family, because she is a sort of similar age to my mum and that would be awful to be going through what they are going through right now."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Gaynor's family put out a desperate plea yesterday – five days into the search for the mum. <\/p>\n Her daughter Alexandra posted on Facebook: \u201cPlease share, if anyone knows anything please do contact the police. <\/p>\n \u201cWe want her home.\u201d<\/p>\n Gaynor, who has blonde shoulder-length hair in a bob, is described as white and 5ft 6 inches tall.<\/p>\n She was last seen walking along London Street in Norwich around 2.45pm on Friday – after leaving her job at Jarrold's department store about 15 minutes prior. \u00a0<\/p>\n In the hours that followed her belongings were found, seeing police launch an urgent search. <\/p>\n Norwich Constabulary declared Gaynor missing after they found her ID inside a handbag – and learned she'd failed to return home from work that evening.<\/p>\n Police\u00a0divers, assisted by fire crews and the coastguard, were yesterday seen scouring the nearby River Wensum using sonar equipment to examine the water.<\/p>\n Officers have also used\u00a0drones\u00a0and foot searches in the hunt for further clues.<\/p>\n Supt Wes Hornigold said yesterday afternoon: "Gaynor left work early and didn\u2019t take her normal route home.<\/p>\n "We haven\u2019t been able to establish why she left early and her disappearance is out of character so we are naturally concerned for her welfare.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no evidence that Gaynor has come to harm and while we have a number of inquiries ongoing, given where her clothing was found and other items, there is a real possibility she has entered the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been liaising with the National Crime Agency (NCA) who have given advice around specialist underwater dive teams and we\u2019re seeking assistance from forces with this capability.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/crop-25029518.jpg\")
