Lancashire Police is set to carry out an internal review into its handling of the disappearance of mum-of-two Nicola Bulley, who vanished three weeks ago.
The 45-year-old mortgage advisor is yet to be found since going missing while out on a walk with her dog in St Michael's on January 27. The case has attracted an "unprecedented" level of public attention across the nation, police said, as officers continue their extensive search.
The force confirmed that a date has been set for its internal review, which will be conducted by their Head of Crime, Detective Chief Superintendent Pauline Stables. It comes after police disclosed information to the public about Nicola's struggles with alcohol and the menopause, a move which was met with widespread criticism from MPs and campaign groups.
