The search for missing Nicola Bulley is now in its ninth day as police frantically try to piece together what happened in a crucial 10 minutes on the morning she vanished.
Officers believe the 45-year-old may have fallen into the River Wyre in Lancashire - possibly while trying to retrieve her dog's ball on Friday, January 27.
But last night Nicola's sister urged the public to keep an "open mind" as her anxious family desperately plead for help locating the mum-of-two.
