A man who called police after discovering human remains close to the River Wyre amid the search for missing mum Nicola Bulley said: "It was the body of a woman - there is definitely a body down there", according to a witness.
The body was found just a mile away from where missing mum Nicola disappeared last month, the Mirror reports. Police were informed by a man and a woman who had been walking along the River Wyre at St Michael's on Wyre yesterday morning that they had seen the body of a female in the water.
A local resident said he heard the man talking to officers about something he had seen in the 'undergrowth' and a helicopter and drone were deployed to help in the search.
