Police say a body has been found in the search for Nicola Bulley. The missing UK mother of two was last seen walking her dog in late January.
A body was recovered from the River Wyre close to where Bulley went missing, Lancashire Police said. The body has not yet been formally identified, but Bulley’s family has been informed. “We were called today at 11:36am to reports of a body in the River Wyre, close to Rawcliffe Road,” a police statement read. “An underwater search team and specialist officers have subsequently attended the scene, entered the water and have sadly recovered a body.
The case baffled the public and attracted widespread media attention, with police also – unusually – choosing to reveal that Bulley had been struggling with alcohol issues and menopause at the time of her disappearance. Last week saw investigators sharply criticize members of the public they say are pedaling “persistent myths.” Lancashire Police Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith told journalists on Wednesday that the social media frenzy had “significantly distracted” the investigation.
