Police seek new information in search for missing Georgina Gharsallah

The 29th of October was Georgina Gharsallah's birthday and the fourth since she was last seen or heard from by her family or friends on the morning of Wednesday the 7th of March, 2018.

Since then, a team of Sussex Police officers and staff have taken thousands of reports and statements, examined hundreds of exhibits and investigated more than 90 reported sightings. None of these have helped them find Georgina.

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."

He continued: "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."

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. 

Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Andy Wolstenholme concluded: "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."

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.
