The detective investigating Nicola Bulley's disappearance - Rebecca Smith - has been praised for her no-nonsense approach to the 'distracting' myths surrounding what happened to the mum.
In a press conference earlier today, Lancashire Police updated the public about the ongoing search for the mum-of-two, who vanished 19 days ago, while walking her dog.
Speaking at Lancashire Police HQ, detectives said they have no evidence a crime has been committed, while seeking to combat disinformation surrounding the search.
