A diving expert who led a fruitless search for missing Nicola Bulley today insisted that he offered to help with 'good intentions.' Peter Faulding, 60, led the private search for Nicola, 45, after she disappeared while walking her dog in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancs,. on January 27.
Lancashire Police announced yesterday that they have recovered a body from the River Wyre but that identification has yet to take place to confirm if it's Nicola. Peter and his team searched the river for Nicola using high-tech sonar equipment along with a team of specialist police divers.
But he has today said that although he had offered his help in good faith, it is now time for Nicola's partner Paul Ansell and their family to 'grieve privately.' Peter said: "I feel very sad and it's not confirmed to be her yet, that's the thing.
