The head of an underwater forensics team that was drafted in to search for Nicola Bulley but couldn't find her in the River Wyre has hit back at critics.
Expert Peter Faulding, 60, used a sonar scanner to search for the 45-year-old mum-of-two and confidently said his team would be able to find her quickly in the river.
Mr Faulding told the Mirror: "If Nicola is in there, we will find her. If she’s there, our sonar will pick her up straight away.
