A retired detective says police are correct to follow the theory that missing Nicola Bulley fell into a river - giving three reasons why. Nicola, 45, vanished on January 27 while walking her dog along the River Wyre in Lancashire.
Police have said their "main working hypothesis" was that the mother-of-two fell in the river. But there has still been no sign of Nicola and police say they are keeping an open mind as the investigation continues.
Julie Mackay, a retired Detective Superintendent who previously solved a 32-year-old murder, told The Mirror that she supports the police's hypothesis based on three factors: that no new information has given them a reason to think otherwise; it is unlikely to be criminal based on the time she disappeared; and the winter conditions would make it harder to find her.
