A £10,000 reward is being offered by Crimestoppers for information that leads to the conviction of those responsible for the murder of a mother who has been missing for more than 18 months.

Georgina Gharsallah, from Worthing, was reported missing in 2018 and Crimestoppers has now doubled its reward after police announced they were treating the case as murder.

A spokeswoman for the charity said: “Crimestoppers charity is offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information it receives anonymously that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of Georgina Gharsallah from Worthing.

“Georgina was first reported missing in March 2018 and, after thorough investigations, her disappearance is now being treated as murder – despite no body being found. Georgina, who had two children, was staying at her mother’s home.

“Georgina was last seen on March 7, 2018, when she left her mother’s home to collect a new phone and later meet her father – a meeting that she never kept.”

Glenys Balchin, Sussex regional manager for Crimestoppers, said: “The murder of Georgina Gharsallah has been a huge shock to the family and people in Worthing.

"We believe there is every chance people know what happened to this young woman, but have so far not come forward.

"Please speak up and tell us what you know.”
