Police have renewed their appeal for information on Georgina Gharsallah, who went missing in Worthing seven years ago.

Georgina would now be 38. Sussex Police are offering a £20,000 reward through Crimestoppers for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.

Officers have issued fresh appeals every year since she went missing.

Despite this, police still don’t have the crucial piece of information that will tell us what happened to Georgina on the day she was last seen in Worthing in March 2018.

We have shared emotional appeals from Georgina’s family pleading for answers, responded to some of the most frequently-asked questions about the police investigation into her disappearance, and written an open letter to those who know what happened to her on that day.

However this, coupled with the extensive activity undertaken by Georgina’s family and further coverage from newspapers and television channels, has still not given us the information we need.

Detective Superintendent Wolstenholme said: “Unfortunately, despite all the activity and rewards offered over the years, we are not receiving the information we need from the public to help us progress this investigation and find out what happened to Georgina.

“We may focus our appeals around significant dates like Georgina’s birthday and the anniversary of her disappearance, but our phone lines are open 24/7 and we are always available to listen and receive any information you may have.

“We are committed to following up on all viable lines of enquiry. Georgina deserves justice, and her family deserve answers and peace of mind in knowing what happened to her.”

You can contact police online or by calling 101 quoting Operation Pavo. Alternatively, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously online or by calling 0800 555 111.
