A Crimestoppers ad-van with images of Georgina and information about her in South Street Square, Worthing on Saturday (March 7) – the second anniversary of her last sighting – and a joint effort with Sussex Police to speak to public in the vicinity, is hoped will prompt new vital information on what happened to her.

Georgina who was 5ft 4in (1.65m), with Arabian features, was an Arabic speaker with shoulder-length dark hair often worn in a top knot, with a Monroe piercing above her top lip.

She was last seen in an off-licence on Clifton Road, after she left her mother’s home. Later that day she was due to meet her father – a meeting she never kept.

Glenys Balchin, Sussex Regional Manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said: “This is understandably a very difficult time for Georgina’s family and friends. The two-year anniversary since she was last seen is a good time to remind the public about this case and the important role they can play in helping to find answers.

“We know that somebody knows what has happened to Georgina and as a charity we are determined to get answers.

“If you know something and want to do the right thing - but feel unable to speak directly to the police, please remember that Crimestoppers charity can help.

“I would once again like to reassure people in Worthing and across Sussex and beyond that Crimestoppers has taken information since we began over 32 years ago and has always kept our promise of anonymity to the millions of people who have trusted us over the years with their crime information.

“Since the investigation into her disappearance started we have had a dedicated team of officers and staff committed to looking into any viable lines of enquiry we have encountered.

“This has included the search of a number of locations, conducted over 1,000 house-to-house enquiries and investigated over 70 potential sightings of Georgina. All of this and other

“Last summer I took the decision to record the case as a homicide. This was not an easy decision to make and was in no way intended to take hope away from Georgina’s family and friends.

“However, Georgina was someone who would spend a lot of time on her phone and on social media but all of this and any financial transactions on her bank accounts stopped the day she went missing. It is for this reason I am led to believe there is not an innocent reason for her disappearance.

“We will continue to investigate all viable lines of enquiry and have been working closely with the independent charity Crimestoppers and the Missing Persons charity to ensure Georgina remains in the public domain.

“Any information we receive will be treated in strict confidence. Someone out there must know something.”
