The family of Nicola Bulley say they will 'never be able to comprehend what she went through after police confirmed that her body was recovered from the River Wyre. Lancashire Police held a press conference on Monday (February 20) confirming the body they recovered from the river on Sunday was that of Nicola, who had last been seen on January 27.
Nicola's family have released a statement following the police's confirmation, which reads: "We will never be able to comprehend what Nikki had gone through in her last moments and that will never leave us. We will never forget Nikki, how could we, she was the centre of our world, she was the one who made our lives so special and nothing will cast a shadow over that.
"Our girls will get the support they need from the people who love them the most. And it saddens us to think that one day we will have to explain to them that the press and members of the public accused their dad of wrongdoing, misquoted and vilified friends and family. This is absolutely appalling, they have to be held accountable this cannot happen to another family."
