Nicola Bulley police address 5 theories in search update for missing mum

Lancashire Police investigating the disappearance of Nicola Bulley have broken their silence on five main theories that are circulating in an update on their ongoing search. The missing mum-of-two was last seen walking her brown spaniel Willow on the morning of January 27 along the River Wyre in the village of St Michaels on Wyre in Lancashire.

A huge police search was launched and officers and specialist divers have been out scouring the river bank for weeks alongside search dogs, drones and boats to no avail, the Mirror reports. The force organised a press conference at 11:30am today to tackle false information spreading about the missing mortgage adviser amid growing speculation about what may have happened to her.

Today Senior Investigating Officer Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith has shut down several new theories put forward regarding the 45-year-old's disappearance. Police have insisted that as soon as Nicola was reported missing and officers spoke with her partner, Paul Ansell, the missing mum was treated as 'high risk' and a number of hypotheses were formed alongside their theory that she fell in the river.
