The search expert who was brought in to trawl the river near where Nicola Bulley went missing more than two weeks ago says he is now looking for places where she could be buried. Peter Faulding led a private underwater search team that covered miles of the river over three days last week, saying there is no sign of the missing mum in the water.
Police continue to work on the theory that Nicola fell into the river while walking her dog, and have moved their own water search down stream to the coast. But Mr Faulding says there is no chance Nicola is in the water as his search found nothing, and the area where police say Nicola fell in has a rocky bottom under just two-feet of water, meaning she could have easily stood up and climbed out.
Mr Faulding says he has spoken to Nicola's family and is now looking for 'deposition sites' - places where Nicola could have been buried. Mr Faulding told the Express: "I’m talking to the family and obviously have vast experience finding buried bodies. We’ve got to consider all options here, there has been that report of suspicious people hanging around.
