Gaynor Lord latest: Family speaks out as mystery over missing mother's disappearance deepens

Norfolk Police has continued its desperate search for Gaynor Lord this morning, with specialist officers again searching the water.

Mrs Lord's belongings, including clothing, two rings, a phone and glasses, were found in the park - which the River Wensum runs through. Her coat was found in the river.

Outlandish theories on social media such as TikTok include a serial killer on the loose who murdered Nicola Bulley earlier this year before striking in Norwich, police 'covering up' the truth, and a rapist attacking the mother-of-three.

A family member of Ms Lord's, who asked not to be named, told the Mail yesterday: 'There's been lots of things being said, like ''Has she run away with anybody?'' and things like that.

'It's not very helpful. It's hard enough as it is.'

The investigation into Mrs Bulley's disappearance in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, in January was marred by conspiracy theorists and armchair detectives opining about what happened.

Her family criticised the 'wildly inaccurate speculation' online over her death after an inquest found no evidence of third-party involvement.

Mrs Bulley's body was found in the River Wyre after a three-week search and a coroner concluded in June she had died from accidental drowning.

Police have released CCTV to aid their investigation into the disappearance of Gaynor Lord.

They hope it will jog the memory of any members of the public who may have seen Mrs Lord.

Gaynor Lord may have met a mystery person at Norwich Cathedral just hours before she disappeared, it was reported last night.

Police are trying to piece together what happened to the missing mother in a crucial 34-minute period.

Mrs Lord left her work at a department store in Norwich at 2.45pm on Friday walking around the city centre before entering the cathedral area a few minutes later.

She was then not seen until 3.22pm after being spotted leaving the church quarter.

The final sighting of her on CCTV was then captured at 4.01pm but she never returned home.

Allan Weston, the stepbrother of missing Gaynor Lord, has admitted that her disapperance is 'proper out of character'.

As a major search led by Norfolk Police continued, Mr Weston told The Sun: 'We just hope she comes back safe. If anyone does know anything please come forward.

'It's been a few days now since she went missing so we are very worried. This is proper out of character. She has never gone missing or anything like that before.'

Police have said that Mrs Lord's family is being supported by specialists officers.

Her children have previously said on social media that 'we want her home'.

Mrs Lord's husband Clive, 63, a financial adviser, has not commented on the case.

But her half-brother Allan Weston, 43, who lives in Blackpool, said: 'We are all very worried. It is out of character and we just want her home.'

Police in Norfolk are working on the theory that there was no third-party involvement in Mrs Lord's disappearance.

Supt Wes Hornigold said: 'There's nothing within those those CCTV images that would give us any rise for concern.

'All of the work we've been doing over the last few days has given us no concern in terms of any third party involvement whatsoever.

'Our hypothesis remains that Gaynor has gone into the water, here at Wensum Park.'
