Nicola Bulley's daughter has delivered a heartbreaking sentiment after more than a week since her mother's disappearance. The six-year-old delivered the line as she spotted search teams looking for the missing woman.
Nicola, 45, disappeared shortly after dropping off her two children at school in Lancashire on January 27. Police are still unable so far to find a conclusive explanation of what happened to her.
The Mirror reports that she was last seen walking her dog next to the River Wyre in in St Michael's on Wyre at 9.10am that morning. She then went missing at an unknown point between then and 9.35am, when her phone was found on a bench and her dog off its lead.
In the wake of her disappearance, hundreds of volunteers joined the search for the mum-of-two yesterday for the 10th day of the operation. The search was focused along the riverbank, as investigators believe she may have fallen into the River Wyre during her walk.
A specialist diver team was also called in after an initial offer was reportedly rejected by Lancashire Police. Amid the tragedy, a heartbreaking moment came this weekend when friends of the missing mother shared a six second video with Sky News.
In the clip, Nicola's six-year-old daughter, Sophia, points at a search team helicopter. The little girl is heard saying: "Them helicopters, they're looking for mummy."
The clip comes after Nicola's dad, Ernest, spoke last week of the effect of her disappearance on the children, Harriet, 9, and Sophia, 6, and family. He said: "When I look at the kids I have to go out of the room because I can’t hold it together.
They are asking where mummy is and ‘when is mummy coming home’, it’s so hard, I just don’t know what’s happened."
He added that the children still believed "mummy is coming home soon" but admitted if "this keeps going on and on I don’t know where we are going to go or what to say to them." Lancashire Police are keeping an "open mind" to all scenarios but said they do not believe Nicola has been attacked.
