MISSING mum Gaynor Lord’s husband “sounds dreadful and hasn’t slept”, a friend has revealed.
It's been a week since the 55-year-old was last seen, with her loved ones and police frantically searching for her ever since.
Cops this week released CCTV footage of the mum smiling as she walked out the door of work last Friday - before rushing along the streets of Norwich.
Police put the video and photos out in the hopes someone may come forward with any information to help find Gaynor.
But today searches have entered the seventh day - and a worried pal has revealed her family’s horror as they edge closer to Christmas without her.

Speaking on GMB today Julie Butcher said she had been speaking to Gaynor’s husband Clive since she vanished.
She explained: "He sounded like he hadn't slept. He sounded dreadful.
“As you would if your wife hadn’t come home.”
Julie told how she had bumped into Gaynor in Jarrold's department store, where the mum worked, a few days before she went missing and the pair had agreed to play tennis in the new year.
She also revealed how the mum had called her twice on the day of her disappearance.
Norwich Constabulary declared Gaynor missing after they found her ID inside a handbag when she 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 Wensum Park, while her olive-coloured coat was found in a nearby river.
Yesterday cops shared the last CCTV image of the mum on St Augustines Street at 4.01pm - meaning the second call was after final sighting.
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.
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.
