Nicola Bulley's family have spoken out about the "appalling threats" they've received from people saying they will sell stories about the missing mum's life. The 45-year-old mum vanished while walking her dog, Willow, by the River Wyre in Lancashire exactly three weeks ago today.
So far, no trace of her has been found with Lancashire Police searching miles of riverbed and widening the search to Morecambe Bay. This week detectives revealed she had been considered a "high-risk" missing person due to "specific vulnerabilities", which the force last night clarified related to alcohol issues.
In an unusual move, police released a new statement from Nicola's family expanding more on the medical issues she faced before her disappearance. In it, the family claimed some people had threatened to sell stories to the press, adding that it 'needs to stop', Liverpool Echo reports.
