Nicola Bulley latest: diver says police privately share his doubts

A diver who took part in the search for Nicola Bulley said police “call him and agree with him” regarding his doubts about the case. The mother of two has been missing for more than two weeks and the search continues.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Peter Faulding spoke about the difficult search for Nicola, who disappeared along the River Wyre on January 27th. She was walking her dog, Willow, at the time. Mr Faulding led the Specialist Group International (SGI) search team, which worked with Lancashire Police to travel miles across the river for three days last week, and said there was no sign of bulley.

Faulding said: “It wasn’t very fast on the river that day. I’ve spent a lot of time with the family and they said she’s being so careful, did the same route every day, didn’t go near the river and her fitbit shows she doesn’t go near the river. It would have to be pushed really hard to be thrown out into the middle of the river.”

Police said officers were “open minded” while continuing to seek information on Nicola’s whereabouts. The force are still searching the river towards the sea at Morecambe Bay with the idea that the 45-year-old from Inskip may have fallen in.

Peter continued, “There are a lot of strange things here. If it isn’t found, I would say something is wrong. Cops called and said they agree with me, that’s weird.” The dive expert searched the river for Nicola but couldn’t find anything.

“It’s a negative search, no sign of Nicola,” he told the PA news agency at the time. He later told the Daily Mail: “I think the worst mistake the police made was to say early on that they were in flux instead of saying let’s keep the investigation open.
