Gaynor Lord: Police reveal they have 'some indications' as to why she left work early

Lord had been spotted on St George’s Street at 3.49pm near the Playhouse in Norwich.

She left work at the Jarrold department store at around 2.45pm and then walked along London Street, Queen Street and towards the cathedral.

Chief Superintendent Dave Buckley said: “We’ve got some indications as to why she behaved the way in which she did but what we’re doing is we’re just working backwards now to actually truly understand what may have taken place.

“We’re just cautious of everything we know at the moment because clearly, we’ve ended up in the situation we have which is not usual.

“I don’t think any of the conversations we’ve had are completely informing us as to why her state of mind ended up being what it was.”

Buckley also confirmed no marks were left on the grass by the river.

It has been reported that there is a “high probability” that Lord went into the River Wensum.

However, river searches have been impeded due to "challenging" search conditions.

Norfolk Police and specialist teams from both Lancashire and Lincolnshire will continue searches to find the missing 55-year-old.

The force consulted with detectives from Lancashire Police following the disappearance of Nicola Bulley earlier this year.

Officers from Norfolk Constabulary have also been searching an area of wasteland.

Lord was said to have tried to phone a friend twice on Friday afternoon at 2.15pm and 4.15pm.

However, the second call is thought to have been a pocket dial.

A witness in the park also claimed she saw a woman matching Lord's description in a "yoga pose" at about 4pm and she seemed "calm".
