One of Nicola Bulley's friends has taken to social media to dispel myths surrounding the 'abandoned house' near the spot where the mum of two went missing. Numerous social media posts have demanded police search the property, and a group of men from Liverpool turned up at the site on Wednesday determined to have a look for themselves.
Calls for police to look at the house have increased since dive experts ruled out the missing mum being in the river. But police and Nicola's friends have pointed out the 'social media speculation' is hindering the search for the missing dog walker.
Nicola's friend, Heather Gibbons, shared four facts about the building, including that it is 'not abandoned' and 'has been searched' thoroughly by police, reports LancsLive. Ms Gibbons said it is 'owned by a lovely family' who 'would do anything they can to help in the search for Nikki' and stressed that they have 'never refused entry to the police or told them they need a warrant to search'.
