He added: "At that time she was walking with her head down and not walking in her normal determined way and that gives us cause for concern." It is thought to be the last positive sighting. Mr Jones said a retired colleague of the teacher said he had seen her walking to school on the morning of March 2. Police do not know if it was moved on the day Ms Flooks disappeared.
Her blue Ford KA was found later that afternoon, properly parked and locked in a road 300 yards from her house.
Ms Flooks had £15 with her, but her bank account has not been touched since she vanished. Mr Flooks said there were only two options regarding his sister's whereabouts: "She's either had a complete breakdown or something not so nice has happened." She had been hoping - we were all hoping - Sarah would send something to let us know she was okay." He said: "She was definitely very upset on Saturday morning when her Mother's Day cards came. Tim Flooks, who last saw his sister two weeks before her disappearance, said their mother was struggling to cope. "It didn't appear to be worrying her unduly, but still waters run deep sometimes - we are just totally bamboozled by it all." Mrs Jones said her sister did not seem overly concerned about the Ofsted report when they had met up a couple of weeks earlier. "I still can't imagine what she might look like now, where she might have been sleeping as it was cold and wet that first week. Sue Jones said: "She is 6ft tall, she normally walks tall, she is a redhead - how can anyone miss such a striking woman. The brother and sister of Ms Flooks also appealed for information. "She is somewhere, she is with somebody somewhere - we just want Sarah to contact us." "She may well be staying with some one, we do not know," he said. Speaking from Ilford police station, he urged anyone with any information to come forward. Today, Detective Chief Inspector Philip Jones, leading the investigation, said he believed the teacher was wearing a green cardigan, dark trousers, black shoes and a three-quarter length black coat when she left home. Mr Mouzouros, who does not work and who has been with Ms Flooks for 30 years, said he was holding on to the hope that she was still alive and unhurt. You are in this kind of treadmill just reiterating the problem and going over the facts." "It is all like one long day, one long neverending day. "But this time she seemed a lot calmer about it." On the morning of March 2, Ms Flooks left for work as usual, leaving Mr Mouzouros a hurried scribbled note telling him she would ring at 6pm. "The Ofsted was bothering her, Ofsted always bothered her," he said. Her partner, John Mouzouros, 50, said Ms Flooks had worked late two nights before she disappeared. Since then, no one is known to have heard from or seen the 6ft redhead. She was due to undergo an Ofsted inspection at Monega primary school in nearby Forest Gate. The 50-year-old woman was last seen on March 2 on her way to work, having left her home in Wanstead, east London.
The partner of missing teacher Sarah Flooks said today that the last four weeks had felt like "one long nightmare".
