Nicola Bulley would not usually go near the river where she went missing, a forensic expert has claimed.
Peter Faulding led a private underwater search team as he joined the search for the mum-of-two last week, but left the village after three days of scouring several miles of the River Wyre.
He has now launched his own "low-key" search and claims he has spoken to Ms Bulley's family about "deposition sites" - a term referring to a place where someone has been buried.
