The family of Nicola Bulley have issued a direct appeal to the missing mum as they tell her 'we need you home' in a new statement regarding the speculation surrounding her health. Yesterday, police held a press conference where they revealed for the first time that the mum-of-two was categorised as 'high risk' due to a 'number of specific vulnerabilities'.
The press conference was set up to squash any unhelpful rumours of theories circulating about the 45-year-old's disappearance but their vague statement seemed to only cause further speculation, the Mirror reports. Only hours later, the force stated on Facebook that Nicola 'in the past suffered with some significant issues with alcohol which were brought on by her ongoing struggles with menopause'.
Lancashire Police are under fire for announcing such personal information about the mortgage advisor but in today's statement, Nicola's family said they were aware these details would be made public despite knowing 'Nikki would not have wanted this'. The family have now called for speculation regarding Nicola's life to be put to an end and expanded on her health problems in the hope it would shut down any more 'appalling' rumours.
