A former Metropolitan Police officer has criticised the investigation into the disappearance of Nicola Bulley.
Detective chief inspector Simon Harding was quoted in a national newspaper saying where he thought detectives had got it wrong, losing the trust of the woman's family and members of the public in the process. He claimed that Lancashire Police started making mistakes from the very first moment they became involved in investigating the disappearance of the mother of two a fortnight ago.
And, according the article, he has said they are continuing to make errors. Mr Harding said he had observed that no cordon had been put in place in the area where the dog-walker went missing and asked why her "out of character" disappearance wasn't picked up on immediately. He said he also wanted to know why officers were adhering to their hypothesis about no one else being involved and why police were no longer sharing new information on the case as it came in.
