A desperate search for the missing mum-of-two continues today
An old 'posh abandoned' home close to where missing Nicola Bulley's phone was found has been searched by rescuers.
Kev Camplin, of Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue, led a team of 25 trained volunteers on the day Nicola - known as Nikki - went missing. They searched a long stretch of the river, including wooded areas, water margins and the grounds of a large unoccupied country house. The team used equipment including a pickup truck that tows a trailer carrying floatation devices. Each volunteer carries a mountain rescue radio and are co-ordinated by an operator inside a control van with mapping systems.
He said his team only gets called out to 'high risk' cases that are not considered dangerous; for example, suspected criminals on the run. Kev explained: "We only go to despondents, and suicidal cases and people with dementia - and people who are generally lost. "But her car was at the school and her phone was the initial planning point. Later we find out she was on a team's work call. We didn’t know that on Friday. I knew the phone was there, but not on a work call."
Since Friday, the team has since been 'on call', knowing they may get mobilised by police later in the search.
