A leading murder detective has claimed the police searching for missing mum Nicola Bulley have made a number of crucial mistakes.
The search for the 45-year-old mortgage adviser has entered a third week after she suddenly vanished 17 days ago while walking her dog near the river in St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire. Lancashire Police launched a massive search and were seen combing the river bank, utilising diving teams, search dogs, drones and boats.
Now, the Mirror has reported that former Met Police detective chief inspector, Simon Harding, believes that the police have harmed the search by sticking with their "hypothesis" that the dog walker fell into the river.
