Body found in search for missing Norwich woman Gaynor Lord

A body has been found in the search for Gaynor Lord, the 55-year-old woman who went missing after leaving work in Norwich last Friday afternoon, Norfolk police have said.

Two specialist divers assisting with the search for Lord were seen pulling a large object in a black bag from the River Wensum. The divers removed the object from the water next to an orange buoy, which had been positioned in the river on Friday.

Lord was last seen leaving her job at Jarrolds department store earlier than scheduled last Friday, and was seen on CCTV visiting the nearby cathedral grounds before making her way towards a park.

A member of the public found a number of Lord’s belongings, including clothing, a mobile phone, glasses and jewellery scattered through Wensum Park on Friday evening.

Police previously said they had no concerns about any third-party involvement.
