A former detective who exposed Jimmy Savile has raised questions over the police theory that missing mum Nicola Bulley has fallen into the river. Mark Williams-Thomas has asked why police were so certain from early on that the 45-year-old had not left the location near the river.
Mum-of-two Nicola went missing two weeks ago while walking her springer spaniel Willow in the Lancashire village of St Michael's on Wyre on Friday, January 27. Her mobile phone, which was still connected to a work call, was found on a bench near the river with her dog nearby, but no trace of Nicola has been found since.
Police are working on the theory that Nicola entered the water and have ruled out any third-party involvement, but Mr Williams-Thomas, who now produces crime documentaries, said: "From very early on police were certain #NicolaBulley did not leave the location. I have always questioned this, they could not be certain about this given every exit route is NOT covered by working CCTV . This plays into my worry of looking for evidence to support a hypothesis."
