A diving expert says Nicola Bulley's family "need closure" - but his team are now pulling out of the search adding that they "have done the job we came here to do".
The missing mum's partner Paul Ansell was pictured at the search scene on the River Wyre alongside underwater forensic chief Peter Faulding today. Mr Faulding's independent Specialist Group International (SGI) firm were drafted in to aid Lancashire Police divers with their high-tech sonar equipment earlier this week.
However, he told the Mirror this afternoon they have completed searching the area of river from where the 45-year-old's phone was found - and where investigators theorise she likely fell in on January 27. Mr Faulding said: "We’ve done our job and we’ve cleared the areas that we were tasked with by Lancashire Police and we are happy that there is nothing in that water."
