Mum left work early
Gaynor left her job at the Jarrold’s department store early on Friday afternoon – and didn’t take her normal route home.
Supt Hornigold said: “We haven’t been able to establish why she left early.
“Her disappearance is out of character so we are naturally concerned for her welfare.”
How long has Gaynor been missing for?
Gaynor was last seen on December 8 at 2.45pm heading towards Norwich cathedral.

Officers confirmed the clothes she was wearing at the time were all located in the park raising the prospect she went missing at least partially unclothed.
The river is now the main focus of attention for the authorities.
Specialist underwater search teams have now been brought in to help with the search.
Where was she last seen?
CCTV showed Gaynor leaving her job at Bullards Gin via Bedford St at 2.45pm, just over an hour before she was due to finish work at 4pm.
Later the same day, a member of the public discovered her belongings in the city’s Wensum Park.
Her clothing, a white work shirt and yellow tank top, along with two rings, mobile phone and glasses were found across the park and her olive-coloured coat was discovered in the water.
Cops confirmed the clothes she was wearing at the time were all located in the park raising the prospect she went missing at least partially unclothed.

Officers have also used drones and foot searches in the hunt for further clues.
