  1. Police say 'high probability' Gaynor Lord entered river

    When asked what makes him so convinced Gaynor Lord is in the water, Ch Supt Buckley replies: "Everything we know is pointing to a high probability that Gaynor went into the water."

    He says that conclusion comes from CCTV and the "very limited witnesses" they have got available, along with details about her behaviour in the lead up to her disappearance.

  2. 'Very challenging' search due to full river

    Ch Supt Buckley says: "It's very challenging, the river is full of water due to all the rain.

    "The divers can see about one-foot in front of them. It's extraordinarily challenging - so it's slow and methodical at the moment."

  3. Specialists involved in 'quite detailed' search

    Dave Buckley

    Ch Supt Dave Buckley says specialist teams from Lincolnshire are helping with the search and that sonar equipment is being put across the river.

    This "quite detailed" approach allows divers to target where they think there might be objects.

  4. The press conference is underway

    Ch Supt Dave Buckley is asked for an update on the investigation so far and says "the focus is still very much on the river".

    He says the working hypothesis remains that Gaynor Lord is in the river, but they are exploring other lines as well.

  5. Police to answer questions on missing Gaynor Lord

    Media set up ready for press conference

    Earlier this week eyewitness Rosie Richards told the BBC she was walking in Wensum Park when she noticed a woman matching the description of Gaynor Lord.

    She saw her take her coat off and "going into almost a meditative or yoga pose".

    The pose looked like "she was going to lie on her front and arch her back."

    She said it struck her as "slightly unusual" given the weather and temperature.

    However, she said the woman appeared "calm".

  18. Public and media interest in case grows

    BBC News, East of England Correspondent

    It is almost a week since Gaynor Lord disappeared and as the police searches continue at Wensum Park her family and friends can only wait for updates.

    Public interest in the mother of three’s disappearance seems to be growing. Today at the park there is a notable increase in media outlets covering the story compared to the last few days. More journalists and camera operators can be seen pointing their lenses at the river which is being searched by specialist divers.

    Passers-by and even a motorist stopped his car to talk and ask reporters if there are any updates.

    A search team has also been seen looking through wasteland near some houses just across the road from Wensum Park.

    It is at the park, a mile-and-a-half from the retail assistant’s workplace at Jarrolds department store that her clothes and personal possessions, including her phone, glasses and two rings, were found.

    Yesterday police issued CCTV footage showing some of the last known movements of Ms Lord.

    We see her leave work from the gin counter she’d been working at - the CCTV still shows her smiling but we still don’t know why she left work more than an hour before her shift was due to end.

    She is then picked up on cameras on various roads in the city. She appears to be hurrying, walking quickly, sometimes jogging and even manoeuvres around moving traffic at a road crossing.

    Police say she spent around 30 minutes in the cathedral grounds, they hope by releasing this footage it will jog someone’s memory and yield useful information to help their investigation.

  19. Police want to learn lessons from the disappearance of Nicola Bulley

    Norwich's policing commander, Supt Wes Hornigold, says detectives have been "linking in" with Lancashire Constabulary to try to understand "any of the lessons learned" from Nicola Bulley's disappearance.

    Ms Bulley, 45, went missing in January after dropping her two daughters off at school in the Lancashire village of St Michael's on Wyre.

    Her mobile phone was found on a riverbank and her body was discovered in the river three weeks later.

    Last month, the College of Policing published a report which criticised the media strategy during the search for Ms Bulley.

  20. What happened at Norwich Cathedral?

    Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen Gaynor Lord on the grounds of Norwich Cathedral.

    CCTV footage shows her going into the grounds of the cathedral at 14:50 GMT on Friday.

    She is there for about half an hour before she is seen leaving at 15:23.

    Supt Wes Hornigold said: "It's not clear where she goes inside the cathedral grounds during this time so we’re keen to hear from anyone who may have seen her there.

    “We are continuing our extensive searches but would appeal to the public to come forward with any information which may help to find Gaynor."
