A diving expert said Nicola Bulley's family "need closure" - but his team "have done the job we came here to do" and are now pulling out of the search, amid police criticism.
The 45-year-old missing mum's partner Paul Ansell was pictured at the search scene on the River Wyre today alongside outspoken underwater forensic chief Peter Faulding, who has made several comments on the police investigation.
Mr Faulding - who was on the end of a backlash from police stressing he does not know all the details of their operation - said Mr Ansell remained "stunned and upset" over Nicola's disappearance.
