Worthing: "The search to find our daughter still feels like day one"
The mum of a woman who disappeared from Worthing says she feels no closer to the truth - almost eight years on
Andrea Gharsallah has just put up a fresh stack of banners in Worthing.
They are the same she has been displaying for almost eight years as she tirelessly searches for her daughter.
But the mum says she still feels no closer to the truth.
"As the years have gone on, you do lose your hope that you're ever going to find answers," Andrea told Greatest Hits Radio.
Georgina Gharsallah was last seen on the the morning of the 7th of March 2018 after leaving her mum's home to go and get her phone fixed.
The then-30-year-old mum-of-two was spotted on CCTV at Clifton Food and Wine on Clifton Road - before never being seen again.
Georgina's return is a "big hope to hold onto"
"In the beginning, it was hoping Georgina was going to come home and turn up at the door.
"Now, it seems that is a big hope to hold onto."
Georgina's case was re-classified as a homicide in 2019 after police found no evidence of her being alive.
"All the information over the past eight years has been looked into and they can't confirm any of it to be true," Andrea said. "Some of the information has been told to them several times by people who've heard it from a friend of a friend, and there's nothing to confirm.
"They haven't got a line to follow. "We're no nearer to finding Georgina from day one, which is really frustrating."
Police have shared repeated appeals on Georgina's birthday and the anniversary of her going missing, but say they're still without the "crucial" piece of information which could bring justice to Georgina and her family.
Anyone with information is urged to get in touch by calling 101 quoting Operation Pavo.
