Police have renewed appeals for information to help them find a woman who has been missing for more than four years.

Last Friday was Georgina Gharsallah’s 35th birthday and the fourth since she was last seen or heard from by family and friends on the morning of Wednesday, March 7, 2018.

Since then, Sussex Police have taken thousands of statements and investigated more than 90 reported sightings to no avail.

Georgina, a mother of two, was last seen in Clifton Food and Wines in Clifton Road, Worthing, on the morning of her disappearance.

Senior investigating officer 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.”

Georgina’s mother Andrea spoke about her daughter's disappearance on the fourth anniversary in March.

She said: “She’s missing. She just completely disappeared. There's no leads whatsoever.”

In September 2020, Sussex Police referred itself to the Independent Office of Police Conduct after Andrea and her family raised concerns over the way the case was handled.

Georgina was last seen 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.
