Nicola Bulley search: Missing dogwalker's phone found on bench by river as police appeal for witnesses
A mobile phone belonging to a dog walker who has been missing since Friday was found by police on a bench near where she was last seen.
In an update on Monday police said while they are keeping an “open mind” as to lines of enquiry, they believe it is likely Ms Bulley has gone missing as opposed to any crime having been committed. .Superintendent Sally Riley from Lancashire Police told reporters: “The police are keeping a really open mind about what could have happened but we do believe that the likelihood is that Nicola has gone missing and this is not a crime inquiry, but we are keeping an open mind.
She said the phone was discovered on a bench near the riverbank while the dog was found loose between the river and the bench. A member of the public saw her at around 9.15am, police said, and her family informed police she had gone missing. She said: “We’ve got a large area to search. People do go missing but clearly as time goes on, we become more and more concerned for Nicola. But we’re very much hoping that we will find something to try to bring her home safe and well soon.”
