Police searching for a mother-of-two who went missing from Worthing three years ago have renewed appeals to find her on her birthday.
Georgina Gharsallah, who turns 34 on Friday (October 29th) was last seen by family and friends on the morning of March 7th, 2018.
Officers have since investigated 90 reported sightings of Georgina, examined hundreds of exhibits and taken in excess of 2,000 witness statements, without finding her.
Senior Investigating Officer for Sussex Police, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Wolstenholme, said:
“This is the fourth birthday Georgina’s family have had to spend with the pain and heartbreak of not knowing where she is or what happened to her on that day.
“So far we have taken more than 2,000 reports and statements, and spoken to around 2,000 residents. We are grateful to everyone who has contacted us with any level of detail or potential sighting – these have all been explored, and we will continue to follow all reasonable lines of enquiry going forward.
“Someone out there knows what happened to Georgina that day, but even those who don’t know exactly what happened may have information that could help us in our investigation.
“No matter how small or insignificant you think a piece of information may be, please let us know about it. Combined with other intelligence we already have, it could be the missing piece of the puzzle that we need.”
The last confirmed sighting of Georgina was in Clifton Food and Wines in Clifton Road, Worthing, on the morning of her disappearance.
She was wearing a coat with a fur-trim on the hood, has a Monroe-style piercing and had her shoulder-length dark hair tied up.
Information can be reported to Sussex Police online or via 101 quoting Operation Pavo.
Details can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers online or by calling 0800 555 111.
