Mother's Day plea: 8 years missing, no answers
15 Mar
Summary
- Georgina Gharsallah vanished on March 7, 2018, leaving her mother heartbroken.
- Her mother marks Mother's Day by keeping Georgina's memory alive for her grandsons.
- Police investigations continue, but no concrete leads have emerged in eight years.
For eight years, Andrea Gharsallah has marked Mother's Day without her daughter, Georgina, who vanished on March 7, 2018. Last seen leaving her mother's Worthing home, Georgina's disappearance has left a profound void. Andrea now cares for Georgina's two teenage sons, ensuring their mother's memory remains vibrant.
Special traditions, like setting a place at Christmas or celebrating birthdays, help the family cope. Georgina's mother shared that not doing so would feel like forgetting her daughter and accepting her absence. Despite the lack of concrete leads, including the release of two men arrested on suspicion of murder, the family holds onto hope.
The disappearance was recorded as a homicide in August 2019 by police, who acknowledge the family's frustration. Investigations have been extensive, but the truth remains elusive. A £20,000 reward for information is still available. Charities like Missing People are working to support families affected by disappearances.
