The body of Gaynor Lord, a mother-of-three who went missing on December 8, has been formally identified by Norfolk Police. The body was discovered in the River Wensum in Norwich on Friday and early indications suggest that her cause of death was drowning. The police have found no evidence of any third-party involvement in her death.
Ms. Lord, 55, was last seen on CCTV footage walking through Norwich city towards Wensum Park, where her belongings were later found. She had left work at Jarrolds department store in Norwich over an hour early on the day she disappeared. It remains unclear why she left work early, and her behavior leading up to her disappearance was described as out of character by friends and family.
The tragic news has left her loved ones devastated, with her husband Clive feeling completely lost and unable to understand what has happened. Her daughter Charlotte, 24, had been actively sharing police appeals on social media, hoping for any leads on her mother’s whereabouts. Unfortunately, the discovery of the body confirms their worst fears.
Norfolk Police have stated that they will continue to pursue all lines of inquiry to understand why Gaynor Lord went missing. Chief Superintendent Dave Buckley emphasized that there were no signs of any other parties being involved in her disappearance. He also mentioned that they are working closely with family, friends, and anyone who had contact with her recently to try and gain insight into her actions.
The timeline of Gaynor’s last known movements has been released by the police. She was captured on CCTV leaving the Jarrolds department store on Bedford Street at 2:45 pm. She then walked through various streets in Norwich, eventually arriving at the Cathedral grounds. The last sighting of her was near the Playhouse on St George’s Street at 3:49 pm.
Police found Gaynor Lord’s belongings scattered in Wensum Park during their search. Clothing, a mobile phone, and glasses were found scattered around the park, while her coat was discovered in the River Wensum itself. The police used sonar equipment to search the challenging river environment.
While the investigation into Gaynor Lord’s disappearance continues, her family and friends are left grappling with the devastating loss.
