Georgina hasn't been seen or heard from since March 7, 2018, when she visited the Clifton Food and Wine off-licence in Clifton Road. That was 1,359 days ago.

"But how does a mother, a daughter, a sister and a friend go missing without a trace? Someone, somewhere must know what happened to her," said a spokesperson for Sussex Police, which hasn't given up the search for the mum-of-two.

October 29 marked Georgina’s 34th birthday, and the fourth since she was last seen.

Sussex Police and Georgina's family have worked hard to keep her present in the public's mind.

Posters were put up across Worthing, as Georgina's home town and the last place she was seen, and police have issued more than a dozen public appeals for information.

Most recently, police and Georgina's family took part in a documentary about her disappearance, which aired on MTV today (Wednesday, November 25).

"Since her disappearance, we have issued facts, photos and videos in the hope of triggering someone's memory.

"We have worked with her family to get their heartfelt appeals spread far and wide. We have explored ways we can reach out to different audiences and demographics.

"We know someone out there has the information we're looking for and as we have done since the day Georgina was last seen, we urge them to come forward — either to police or anonymously to Crimestoppers.

"A number of vital enquiries to test 'proof of life' have been conducted but to date, none of these have been able to exclusively show that Georgina is alive.

"We know this has been incredibly difficult and upsetting for all of Georgina's loved ones to hear, but it doesn't mean we've given up on looking for her.

"We still have a dedicated team of officers who are committed to finding out what happened to Georgina and giving her family the answers they deserve."
