Lancashire Police said "thoughts are with" Nicola Bulley's family after a body was found near to where the mum-of-two went missing.
An extensive search operation was launched to find the 45-year-old after she vanished 23 days ago while out walking the family dog. Police issued an update earlier today to announce a body had been found near to where the 45-year-old went missing.
Officers were keen to stress no formal identification has taken place and could not confirm if it is Ms Bulley. However, a statement confirmed the missing mum's family have been informed of the developments.
