MISSING mum Gaynor Lord pocket dialled a pal after she was last seen on CCTV.
The 55-year-old vanished on Friday afternoon after she was seen leaving work early in Norwich city centre.
Norwich Constabulary declared her missing after they found her ID inside a handbag - and learned she'd failed to return home from work that evening.
Her white work shirt, yellow tank top, and jewellery were found spread out at different sites across the city centre park, while her olive-coloured coat was found in the water.
Now a pal has told how she got two calls from the missing mum on Friday afternoon - with the first at 2.15pm.

Julie Butcher told The BBC: "I said 'I'm at home' and I explained I was sorting out the internet and my phone rang and it was one of my clients and I had to speak to them. I said I would call her back and she said 'yes'".
Ms Butcher then tried to call her back twice - but there was no answer.
Gaynor called again at 4.15pm but Ms Butcher said it "sounded like a pocket call; I could hear movement in her pocket".
Today cops shared the last CCTV image of the mum on St Augustine's Street at 4.01pm - meaning the second call was after final sighting.
Ms Butcher added: "I keep going over the conversation. If I hadn't answered that call [from her client] would she have talked to me?
"I feel terrible. I feel so sorry for the family. It's not like Gaynor to do this."

She seems to be in a hurry, rushing to cross the road.
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.
