The six-year-old daughter of Nicola Bulley reacts to the search for her mum in a poignant moment caught on camera.
Nicola, 45, disappeared shortly after dropping off her two children at school in Lancashire on January 27, with police unable so far to find a conclusive explanation of what happened to her.
She was last seen walking her dog next to the River Wyre in in St Michael's on Wyre at 9.10am that morning, before going missing at an unknown point between then and 9.35am, when her phone was found on a bench and her dog off its lead.
Hundreds of volunteers joined the search for the mum-of-two on Sunday 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 Nicola shared a six second video with Sky News, in which her six-year-old daughter Sophia points at a search team helicopter.
The little girl is heard saying: "Them helicopters, they're looking for mummy."
It comes after Nicola's 73-year-old dad Ernest spoke last week of the effect of her disappearance on the children, Harriet, 9, and Sophia, 6, and family.
He told The Mirror: "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.
A close friend has meanwhile shared a plea for online trolls to stop causing "hurt and distress" to the family by speculating on the causes of her disappearance.
Tilly said she had "shocked and appalled" by some coverage of her friend's disappearance and listed a series of facts she believes the public should know before commenting on the case.
