Police investigating Nicola Bulley's disappearance are probing a two-hour gap between her going missing and the first call to police. The mother-of-two, 45, vanished while walking her dog along the River Wyre near the village of St Michael's, Lancashire, at around 9.10am on January 27 but the first call did not come until 11am.
Lancashire Police is working under the hypothesis that she slipped into the water and drowned, but despite combing a mile-long stretch of the river, no trace of the mortgage adviser has yet been found. As the search enters a 14th day on Friday, police have moved to the sea to begin trawling Morecambe Bay.
The Daily Mail reports that three blind spots have been identified surrounding the area Ms Bulley went missing after police admitted she could have left the area via a path not covered by cameras. Despite working under the hypothesis that she slipped into the water, police admitted that it is possible she left the area by one path not covered by CCTV cameras. The path in question leads to Garstang Road, which runs through the village, and is therefore a blind spot.
