Police investigating the disappearance of Nicola Bulley say their lines are "inundated with false information, accusations and rumour". Lancashire Police held a press conference on Wednesday afternoon (February 15).
The 45-year-old mum-of-two disappeared while walking her springer spaniel, Willow, by the River Wyre in St Michael's, Lancashire, on January 27. Nicola had dropped her daughters, aged six and nine, at school that morning.
The Manchester Evening News reports Nicola's phone found on a bench was still connected to a video call. Despite a huge search of the river and surrounding countryside by Lancashire Police, no trace of her has been found.
