The daughters of missing Nicola Bulley have been left "deflated" as they continue to wait for their mum to come home following over two weeks of agony, a friend has said.
The girls, aged six and nine, last saw their mum when she dropped them off at school on January 27. She then went to walk the family dog and vanished later that morning.
Emma White, who is friends with the missing mum-of-two, said the girls "need their mummy" to return home and constantly ask their dad, Paul Ansell, when she is returning, reports the Mirror.
