  • Clothes: Thin blue or grey 3/4 sleeve top, grey ‘stone’ effect Peter Storm waterproof jacket, brown ankle boots, knitted grey scarf

Police Plea: Every Tip Counts

“When Gillian was reported missing five years ago an investigation was immediately launched into her disappearance, and our commitment to finding her has not dimmed,” said PC AJ Funnell of Brighton and Hove’s Missing Persons Team. “Anybody who has any information which could help with the investigation, no matter how small you may feel it is, please report it to us online or by calling 101.”

If you know anything, now’s the time to speak up. Gillian’s family deserve answers.
