A friend of Nicola Bulley has criticised police's decision to share details of her struggles with alcohol.
Mum-of-two Nicola was last seen on January 27. She dropped her children off at school and logged into a Teams call while walking her springer spaniel in the Lancashire village of St Michael's on Wyre.
On Wednesday, Lancashire Police told the press the mum-of-two was categorised as "high risk" due to "a number of specific vulnerabilities". At the time, the force did not elaborate and sparked further speculation despite trying to use the press conference to squash any unhelpful theories.
