The passers-by who alerted police to a body in the River Wyre in Lancashire told police "there is definitely a body down there", a witness has said. The man was at the scene when specialist officers first arrived after being tipped off by a couple, according to the Mirror.
He said he heard the couple, who were sat on a wall vaping and appeared "ashen-faced", tell the first officer that "it was the body of a woman" they had seen around a mile downstream from where Ms Bulley, 45, had seemingly vanished on January 27. Roads were closed yesterday morning as police reacted to the news of the discovery and a police helicopter was seen in the air.
The witness said: “I noticed a man and a woman and two police officers on the embankment. I heard the man talking to police about something in the undergrowth. Police cars were flying down the road with the blues and twos going. A police officer pulled up a few minutes later and got his drone out."
