A missing dog walker has two young daughters who "need their mummy home".
Paul Ansell, the partner of missing woman Nicola Bulley, issued a heartbreaking plea as he said he and his family are living in "perpetual hell" after his girlfriend vanished on Friday morning when she took her dog for a walk. The 45-year-old is believed to have last been seen at around 9.15am after setting out with her brown spaniel, Willow, from her home in Inskip, Lancashire.
Police confirmed they are still keeping an "open mind" around the disappearance and believe that Ms Bulley went missing rather than any crime being committed. Mr Ansell, speaking at their family home, told the Mirror: "It is just perpetual hell. It is just utter disbelief.
