Missing mum Nicola Bulley's partner was a picture of despair and frustration as he visited the area she was last seen almost two weeks ago.
The Mirror reports that Paul Ansell was witnessed holding his head in his hands as he stood at the edge of the River Wyre, after being told that a latest scour of the waterway had come to naught. Mr Ansell was seen with expert dive specialise Paul Faulding at the riverside in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire.
Wearing a black puffer jacket, Paul - who met Nicola in a pub 12 years ago - observed the river alongside the expert. Mr Faulding has been conducting searches of the river and has concluded that it is unlikely that the 45-year-old mortgage advisor fell into the water.
