Police held a press conference to update the public on the state of the investigation into the disappearance of Nicola Bulley, which has left the nation baffled. Nicola, a mum of two young girls, vanished on January 27 as she walked her dog after dropping her daughters - aged six and nine - off at school.
Police strongly defended their approach to the investigation today (Feb 15), and said they had always had an open mind about what had happened to her. But said the most likely hypothesis was that she had fallen into the water and no third party was involved.
They revealed that ‘vulnerabilities’ which had been made clear to them by her family meant that she was classed as a ‘high risk’ missing person, but refused to elaborate on what they were. Police were scathing of ‘amateur detectives’ chasing Youtube and Tiktok hits who were proving a distraction to their officers.
