The search for missing mum Nicola Bulley has now entered its 12th day with still no real clues as what has happened to the mother-of-two. Despite extensive searches of the river and surrounding area no trace of the 45-year-old who was walking her dog after the school run has been discovered.
Her phone was left on a bench never the River Wyre in Lancashire and her dog Willow was found nearby. Police officers said they are working on the theory that the 45-year-old , who has been described by friends as a strong swimmer, fell into the river, but that line of investigation has been questioned by friends and family. Lancashire Police has consistently said there are no signs of any third-party involvement in her disappearance.
The mortgage adviser was last seen while walking Willow on Friday, January 27, in the Lancashire village of St Michaels on Wyre. Nicola - known as Nikki - left her daughters aged six and nine at school, before heading to the towpath overlooking the River Wyre.
