Police searching for missing Norwich woman Gaynor Lord have recovered a body from the River Wensum.
Norfolk Constabulary confirmed it was recovered from the water this morning by underwater search teams.
While the body has not been formally identified, Ms Lord’s family has been informed, the force added.
The 55-year-old mother-of-three was reported missing last Friday after her belongings were found scattered across Wensum Park.
Two members of the police dive team could be seen recovering the body from the river in Norwich after marking the area of water with an orange buoy.
Previous searches had focussed on the river close to Wensum Park where a member of the public reported seeing a woman matching Ms Lord’s description at about 16:00 GMT last Friday.
She was reported missing after failing to return home from Jarrolds department store in Norwich where she worked on a gin counter as a retail assistant.
CCTV footage showed her leaving work more than an hour earlier than expected before hurrying through the city on foot.
On Thursday, police said there was a “high probability” that Ms Lord had entered the water and that her disappearance was “out of character”.
Her family will “continue to be supported” by specially trained officers, Norfolk police confirmed.
