The partner of missing dog walker Nicola Bulley has spoken of his "hell and frustration" over the fact that the family pet will have witnessed exactly what happened to the mother-of-two.
Speaking to presenter Dan Walker during a television documentary on Channel 5 about her disappearance, Paul Ansell said the fact their dog Willow almost certainly saw what happened added "another layer of frustration" to the mystery. He said on the programme: "It's a hellish situation with the layer of hell that, no, not knowing what's happened yet. And then also having Willow who probably does know what happened. Um, but she can't, she can't tell us, can she?"
He added: "And she’s a very sensitive dog. I did take her back there first thing on the Saturday, the day after." There, Mr Ansell desperately tried to get the animal to lead him to Nicola, but to no avail.
