Nicola Bulley 's father says "every day is a struggle" as the family wait for updates since her disappearance. Ernie Bulley's heartbreaking words came three weeks after his 45-year-old daughter vanished while walking her dog in the village of St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire.
"Every day is a struggle," he told Sky News. "[We're] no further on from three weeks ago. [We] just need a breakthrough to give us some hope."
Lancashire Police has said their "main working hypothesis" has been Ms Bulley, a mortgage adviser, fell into the River Wyre between 9.10am and 9.20am on Friday, January 27. It comes as earlier this week, the force was criticised for revealing that the mother-of-two had suffered from "significant issues with alcohol" which were "brought on by her ongoing struggles with the menopause".
