Nicola Bulley search moves to the sea as police shift focus

Police have now moved their search to the sea after spending almost two weeks searching the River Wyre in the hunt for Nicola Bulley.

The mortgage adviser, 45, from Inskip, disappeared on January 27 after dropping her two daughters - aged six and nine - at school before taking her springer spaniel Willow for a walk along the river at St Michaels on Wyre. Since then there has been relentless searches of the river, with Peter Faulding, an expert diver, and his team completing a three-day search on Wednesday, February 8.

Mr Faulding met Nicola's partner Paul Ansell and told him she had still not been found, with the private team now ending their involvement in the case. Now, a lifeboat has begun sweeping where the river meets the estuary of Morecambe Bay in Lancashire.
