The mum was last seen early on Friday afternoon, and police and her loved ones have been desperately hunting to find her ever since.

Cops have said they believe Gaynor “most likely” entered the River Wensum.

The force was today seen scouring the waterway in a desperate search for the mum-of-three.

Mystery surrounds the mum’s disappearance after her belongings were found scattered in different locations around the city centre park.

Her white work shirt, yellow tank top, and jewellery were found spread out – and her olive-coloured coat was found in the water.

They have today released CCTV of the last time she was seen – and asking people to come forward with any more footage they may have of her.

Police released an image of Gaynor with a smile 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 path with her coat in hand.

It comes as…

 Cops release CCTV of missing mum’s ‘unusual’ last known movements

 Specialist underwater divers join the desperate hunt

About half an hour later she is seen on CCTV again – putting on her olive-coloured coat.

She is last snapped on CCTV at 4.01pm.

Norwich Policing Commander, Superintendent Wes Hornigold, said: “Today we are releasing the footage of Gaynor’s last known steps on Friday afternoon before she went missing.

“We hope this will help to jog the memory of anyone who may have seen her in the city that afternoon or who may have footage of her journey.

“We are particularly keen on hearing from anyone who may have seen Gaynor in the cathedral grounds which she enters at 2.50pm and leaves at 3.23pm.

“It’s not clear where she goes inside the cathedral grounds during this time so we’re keen to hear from anyone who may have seen her there.

“We are continuing our extensive searches but would appeal to the public to come forward with any information which may help to find Gaynor.

“In the footage you can clearly see what she was wearing when she went missing.

“This is a particularly stressful time for her family and specialist officers continue to provide support.”
