A friend of missing Nicola Bulley has said the mum was seen "laughing and joking" moments before she vanished. The mum of two disappeared last Friday (January 27) while on a dog walk, with the springer spaniel since found off her harness and lead.
Police launched an investigation when the 45-year-old disappeared after dropping her children at school in St Michael's-on-Wyre, Lancashire. Her dog Willow was found on a path along the River Wyre in St Michael's-on-Wyre on Friday morning.
It's understood the mum's mobile phone was found on the ground next to a bench overlooking the water. The friend, who wishes to stay anonymous, said she has spoken to a pair who believe they were the last people to see Nicola before she went missing, the Mirror reports.
