Specialist diver who failed to find Nicola Bulley removed from National Crime Agency's expert list
The National Crime Agency has reportedly removed a specialist diver who assisted with the search for Nicola Bulley from its list of experts. Peter Faulding said he would find the missing mum if she was in the River Wyre, in Lancashire where she was last seen walking her dog.
A spokesperson continued: "The database is subject to continual review and its purpose is to maintain a list of expertise UK law enforcement can draw upon when required. We proactively seek feedback from customers regarding experts’ performance and contribution. Mr Faulding, 60, had previously denied that he gave the family false hope. He explained his team was tasked with searching the 'non-tidal part' of the river past the bench where Nicola's phone was found.
"Unfortunately, it was a member of the public that made a grim discovery, unconfirmed as yet to be Nicola. Sadly, the discovery was not found in the river but in the reeds at the side of the river which was not part of our remit as the side scan sonar does not penetrate reeds above or below the water."
