Dive expert shares proof Nicola Bulley did not fall into river

The diving expert who led the hunt for missing mum Nicola Bulley today said ha has 'proof' she didn't fall into the river where police believe she did. Peter Faulding, 60, says he filmed the River Wyre showing it to be slow-moving, meaning a body would have sunk “very quickly” and remained nearby

He also said the rocks by the bank, which would have been under just 2ft of water when Nicola went missing, mean she could have simply “stood up” if she’d fallen down. He said the video makes him believe Nicola didn't fall into the river, in St Michael's in Wyre, Lancs., when she vanished 13 days ago while walking her dog.

And he felt a “wider land search” of outbuildings and sheds was now needed after his team’s sonar scans of the river failed to find any proof of her body in the river. Mr Faulding, drafted in to help Lancashire Police's efforts, called off his search on Wednesday after his team found no trace of her using its advanced sonar equipment.
