The programme showed CCTV footage from the last sighting of Georgina in the shop before she turned right out of the store and headed towards the seafront area - the last time she was seen.

Chief Inspector Ockwell reminded viewers that there is a £5,000 reward for information that could lead to her being found. He said: "Georgina's family are desperate to find her and we really do need that piece of information, that golden nugget, that is going to give us that lead."
