An expert who conducted a private search for Nicola Bulley in the River Wyre while she was missing says he hasn't been asked to give evidence at her inquest. Peter Faulding, CEO of Specialist Group International (SGI), and his team spent three days searching a stretch of the river using sonar equipment where police believed the 45-year-old mum had fallen into the water, close to a bench where her phone and dog where found.
They didn't fine a trace of the mother-of-two in the section of the river. He later faced criticism when the police recovered Nicola's body and SGI was removed from the National Crime Agency’s list of specialists.
An inquest into Ms Bulley's death is due to begin on Monday (June 26) at the County Hall in Preston. Ahead of the hearing, Mr Faulding spoke out to 'clarify the situation after a number of questions from the press and public'.
