A body found in the River Wyre in Lancashire is that of missing mum-of-two Nicola Bulley, police have confirmed this evening. Her body was found on Sunday morning, around a mile from where Nicola, 45, went missing on January 27.
At a press conference on Monday, Lancashire Police assistant chief constable Peter Lawson confirmed the tragic news. Nicola, a mortgage advisor, had been walking her dog in St Michael’s on Wyre after dropping her daughters, aged six and nine, at school.
Mr Lawson said: "Sadly, we are now able to confirm that yesterday we recovered Nicola Bulley from the River Wyre. Nicola's family have been informed and are of course devastated. Our thoughts are with them at this time as well as with all her loved ones and the wider community.
