A WITNESS has claimed she saw missing mum Gaynor Lord doing yoga on Friday afternoon - but something seemed off.
It's been almost a week since the 55-year-old vanished after leaving work early.
CCTV released yesterday showed her smiling before she walked out the door of Bullards Gin - then rushing along the streets of Norwich.
Now, potentially one of the last people to see Gaynor has spoken out.
Rosie Richards, who lives near Wensum Park, said she thought she saw the mum doing a yoga pose on Friday afternoon at about 4pm.

She said the mum seemed "calm" - but something made her stand out.
Rosie today told Good Morning Britain: "To me, she seemed quite calm.
"She was putting her coat down on the floor and sort of performing a yoga pose.
"It just seemed a bit odd at this time 'cause it's starting to get dark."
Gaynor was last seen on CCTV at 4.01pm on St Augustines Street - which is an eight-minute walk from the park.
Mystery surrounds the mum's disappearance after her belongings were found scattered in different locations around the city centre park.
On the day she vanished her white work shirt and yellow tank top were found spread out - and her olive-coloured coat was found in the water.
Then the mum's mobile phone, coat, ring and glasses were found in the park as police continued to scour the area.
Police yesterday released CCTV of the last time she was seen - and asked witnesses to come forward with any more information.
They published an image of Gaynor smiling ear-to-ear as she left her workplace - Bullards Gin, at Jarrold’s department store.

Then, in a CCTV clip, the mum can be seen running along the pavement with her coat in hand.
She seems to be in a hurry, rushing to cross the road.
It comes as...
- Gaynor Lord vanished on Friday evening after leaving work early
- The mum's clothes are found in ‘various locations’ in park
- Gaynor's daughter pleads: "We want her home"
- Witness says she saw woman "removing coat and perfoming yoga pose"
- Cops release CCTV of missing mum running along streets of Norwich
- Specialist underwater divers join the desperate hunt
- Nicola Bulley cops 'helping' with search efforts
- CCTV shows mum holding white item
- Gaynor 'met someone at cathedral' before she vanished
The mum seems to spend 30 minutes at the cathedral before she is spotted on CCTV again.
She then makes her way along the street, putting her coat on as she walks.
She is last snapped on CCTV at 4.01pm.
It is now thought the mum may have met someone at the cathedral before she vanished.
Police are also said to be "linking in" with the force who worked on the disappearance of Nicola Bulley.
Cops are now urging anyone to come forward with information.
Norwich Policing Commander, Superintendent Wes Hornigold, yesterday said: “We are releasing the footage of Gaynor’s last known steps on Friday afternoon before she went missing.
"We hope this will help to jog the memory of anyone who may have seen her in the city that afternoon or who may have footage of her journey.
“We are particularly keen on hearing from anyone who may have seen Gaynor in the cathedral grounds which she enters at 2.50pm and leaves at 3.23pm.
"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.
"In the footage you can clearly see what she was wearing when she went missing.
“This is a particularly stressful time for her family and specialist officers continue to provide support.”
Norwich Constabulary declared Gaynor missing after they found her ID inside a handbag - and learned she'd failed to return home from work that evening.
Police divers, assisted by fire crews and the coastguard, were yesterday seen scouring the nearby River Wensum using sonar equipment to examine the water.
Officers have also used drones and foot searches in the hunt for further clues.
It comes after Gaynor's family put out a desperate plea on Tuesday - five days into the search for the mum.
Her daughter Alexandra posted on Facebook: “Please share, if anyone knows anything please do contact the police.
“We want her home.”
