An expert diver involved in the river search for missing mum Nicola Bulley has said he didn't find a body because his equipment is not able to 'penetrate reeds'. Peter Faulding previously claimed he was '100 percent' sure that the 45-year-old was not in the river until Lancashire Police confirmed a body had been found yesterday afternoon in St Michael's on Wyre.
Formal identification of the body, which was found just a mile downstream from where Nicola disappeared on January 27, is yet to take place, the Mirror reports. The mum-of-two's family have been informed of the news and are said to be in 'agony' as they await further guidance from cops.
Diving expert Faulding had been drafted in with his team at Specialist Group International (SGI) 10 days after Nicola's disappearance and spent three days leading a thorough search for the mortgage advisor in the River Wyre. In a previous statement, he confidently said: "If Nicola was in that river, I would have found her. She’s not there."
