Police investigating the disappearance of Gaynor Lord say they have pieced together her movements through the centre of Norwich on the afternoon she vanished.

Officers gave an update on where she went in the hours after leaving work last Friday, filling in previous gaps when her whereabouts were unknown.

They issued the updated timeline of her movements after a body was recovered in the water near to Wensum Park, where the 55-year-old's belongings were found a week ago.

The mother-of-three left work at the Bullards Gin counter in the basement of Jarrolds at 2.45pm last Friday, more than an hour earlier than she was due to finish.

She left via the store's loading bay on Bedford Street and walked onto London Street, past the Cosy Club, at 2.47pm. 

At 2.48pm she made her way onto Queen Street and walked towards the cathedral, walking into its grounds at 2.48pm.

Until today, her whereabouts for the next half hour were unknown, prompting speculation that she may have met someone in the cathedral grounds.

However, police now say she headed to the river and along Riverside Walk.

At 3.12 she was seen walking on to Cotman Fields and across Bishopgate, continuing along Riverside Walk and back to the cathedral.

Twenty minutes later, she was seen on the Close at the entrance to the cathedral and shortly before exiting through the archway she put her coat on.

She was spotted walking away from the cathedral in Queens Street at 3.23pm and is next seen near the Playhouse in St Georges Street at 3.49pm.

She walked along St Crispins Road towards Pitt Street at 3.53pm and walked up St Augustines Street at 4.01pm.

Until today, this was the last known sighting of Gaynor.

But police say she then walked into Bakers Road at 4.03pm, with the final sighting at 4.07pm at the junction near Green Hills Road and St Martins Road, close to one of the entrances to Wensum Park.

The updated timeline follows a series of police enquiries and reviews of CCTV footage this week.

It led police to say they "now understand her movements through the city centre".

Chief Superintendent Dave Buckley said: "We’ve been able to trace Gaynor’s movements through CCTV in the city and at this stage, we’re satisfied there is no evidence that Gaynor met anybody on the way to the park.

"We remain open-minded to the circumstances surrounding Gaynor’s disappearance and will continue to pursue lines of enquiry to understand why she went missing."

No formal identification of the body has yet taken place, but police say Gaynor's family have been informed.

Wensum Park remains closed.
