The parents of a mother-of-two who vanished while walking her dog have spoken of their “dread” at the thought of never seeing her again. Ernest and Dot Bulley also spoke of hearing their grandchildren “sobbing their hearts out” after being told “mummy is lost”.
Nicola Bulley, 45, a mortgage advisor, was last seen on Friday morning at around 9.20am while walking her dog alongside the River Wyre in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire. She had just dropped off her daughters, aged six and nine, at the local school in the village.
Ms Bulley’s phone was found, apparently still engaged on a work call, on a park bench nearby, along with the harness and lead for her dog, Willow, a springer spaniel. The dog running loose alerted a member of the public and police were called, but despite a huge search, no trace of Ms Bulley has been found.
