A forensic search expert and diver who has been heavily involved in the search for missing mum Nicola Bulley has said he would have changed his search strategy if he'd been told about her "vulnerabilities".
Peter Faulding, who had been called in by Nicola's family to help with the search, said his methods would have been different had he known that Nicola had issues with alcohol related to her difficulties coping with the menopause. It comes after police today revealed that Nicola was being treated as a "high risk" missing person and then explained why.
Mr Faulding had previously questioned the theory that she had fallen in the river. However, he now concedes that Nicola "could have ended up in the sea" if she "had jumped in, intended to take her own life or walk off".
