Police are still searching for missing mother-of-two Nicola Bulley on the three-week anniversary of her disappearance.
Ms Bulley disappeared while walking her springer spaniel Willow in the village of St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire, after she dropped her two daughters – aged six and nine – at school on January 27.At 8.26am Ms Bulley left her home with her two daughters, dropping them off at school and engaging in a brief conversation with another parent around 15 minutes later.She then took Willow for a walk along the path by the River Wyre at 8.
They were assisted by Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, as well as Bowland Pennine mountain rescue team and the North West underwater search team.Local residents held a meeting at the village hall to organise a search, with police urging volunteers to remain cautious.Superintendent Sally Riley from Lancashire Constabulary said police were “keeping a really open mind about what could have happened”, but they were not treating Ms Bulley’s disappearance as suspicious.
Her partner, Paul Ansell, said in a statement: “It’s been 10 days now since Nicola went missing and I have two little girls who miss their mummy desperately and who need her back.”Lancashire Police said their extensive inquiries have “so far not found anything of note”.The force urged the public to avoid “distressing” speculation about what may have happened to Ms Bulley.
Meanwhile, police urged people to refrain from indulging in commentary and conspiracy theories online.Friends and family left yellow ribbons with handwritten messages on a bridge close to where she disappeared.Ribbons with messages including “We need you home Nicola”, “Praying for your safe return” and “I love you” were tied to a footbridge over the River Wyre.
