The dog walker who discovered Nicola Bulley's phone on a park bench has said he "knew something wasn't right" when he found it. The man, only referred to as Ron, was on a dog walk when he came across the phone on a bench near the River Wyre on January 27 - the same day that Nicola disappeared.
He initially believed the phone had been innocently left on the bench by a fellow dog walker that had popped to the toilet. Ron spoke of how he recognised the people on the phone's wallpaper, which featured Nicola and her partner Paul Ansell. While he didn't know the couple by name, he knew them as fellow dog walkers, MirrorOnline reports.
He told Sky News: "I got to about this red brick building here and I thought 'this is not right'. Then it was just a progression of things happening, you know.
