Police investigating the case of missing woman Nicola Bulley have revealed the mum had health issues which had "recently resurfaced".
Lancashire Police said on Wednesday evening: "Sadly, it is clear from speaking to Paul and the family that Nicola had in the past suffered with some significant issues with alcohol which were brought on by her ongoing struggles with the menopause and that these struggles had resurfaced over recent months. This caused some real challenges for Paul and the family."
A press conference held earlier today revealed police were treating Nicola as a "high risk" missing person due to some "vulnerabilities", reports the Mirror.
