A body was recovered from the River Wyre in Lancashire on Sunday, February 19, during the search for missing Nicola Bulley. A former murder detective has explained that, while "we don't know all the facts", there seem to be only "two possibilities" as to why a body has only just been found.
As reported by Birmingham Live, the ex-detective gave his opinion on the news. Stressing that "we don't know all the facts", he told The Times in an interview: "That means really only two other possibilities - the body was weighed down or there were failures in the search."
He continued: "It's important to emphasise we don't know all the facts. However, it does seem pretty extraordinary given the level of searches in that area." He added: "The police had underwater drones and the private company had 3D scanners for that reason so it seems unlikely."
