Police divers have returned to the river where Nicola Bulley's body was found. It has been reported that they are assisting HM Coroner in confirming the cause of her death.
Reports said that the specialist team was searching an area less than a mile from where the mum was seen in St Michael's on the Wyre, Lancashire. A statement from the coroner confirmed that the search had been requested in a bid to produce more information ahead of the inquest into her death, reports the Mirror.
Nicola, who worked as a mortgage advisor, vanished while walking her dog by the river on January 27, sparking a massive search for her. Her body was found on February 19.
The case captured the nation's attention as her phone was found on a bench near the water's edge and had been connected to a work call. Her dog Willow was also found nearby. An inquest into her death is to be heard on Monday, June 26, at County Hall in Preston.
The search saw police, firefighters, mountain rescue, underwater teams and the local community comb through a massive area from the river to the coastline. A specialist search was also launched by Peter Faulding, who used sonar equipment to scour the water - but his efforts led him to be removed from the NCA expert list.
