But they admitted still not having the access to her phone for insight into her movements - and continued to rule nothing out.
Detectives searching for missing mum Gaynor are "linking in" with Nicola Bulley cops to understand "lessons learned".
Gaynor was seen beaming as she left work at a gin concession at Jarrolds department store early at 2.44pm on Friday.
She was then filmed rushing - breaking into a run - through Norwich city centre, in the opposite direction to her home, before entering the cathedral area at 2.44pm.

Cops now believe she may have met with someone at the cathedral who could unlock the mystery of her disappearance.
Officers said it was crucial to account for the missing 34-minutes around the church grounds with enquiries into her home life showing Gaynor had no obvious concerns.
No further sightings of Gaynor were reported until 3.22pm when she was seen exiting the cathedral quarter.
The last sighting of her on CCTV was at 4.01pm between the cathedral and the park were her clothes were found.

Her possessions were then found in the park later on Friday by a walker.
It also emerged Gaynor’s glasses, trousers and shoes were all found with her other clothes, rings, phone and handbag scattered across a riverside park.
It means she could have been left wearing just her underwear.
Divers were yesterday searching the murky River Wensum with detectives working on the basis she had entered the water.
Norwich top cop Supt. Wes Hornigold stressed everything was being done to find Gaynor and understand why she had vanished - but admitted every passing day brought “more concern”.
Supt. Hornigold said: “The fact our working hypothesis is that she has gone in the water brings with it its own risks.
“As time goes by our concerns increase - as do the family’s as well, so we are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare.”
He added: “In the CCTV Gaynor is seen smiling and walking with purpose which does not suggest an unusual mindset.
“The cathedral is currently a focus for us, there’s lots of work we are doing there to establish what happened in the gap in CCTV.
“We are working with people in the cathedral to try and understand what happened.”
It is understood Gaynor’s clothes were left out in the park while her other items were more obscured and only found during the course of a police search.

Cops said they had had no contact with Gaynor and her family in the run-up to her disappearance.
They said establishing all of her movements was crucial because the disappearance had been “so out of character”.
