Lancashire Police revealed in a press conference yesterday morning that missing mum Nicola Bulley had 'specific vulnerabilities' that make her 'high risk'. The force said they had been 'inundated' with unanswered questions after the 45-year-old disappeared on the morning of January 27.
The mortgage advisor was last seen walking her dog along the River Wyre path in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire before she mysteriously vanished without a trace. Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith has now disclosed that Nicola was quickly graded as 'high risk' after her partner Paul Ansell made them aware of 'alcohol issues' she was facing that had been triggered by menopause.
During a press conference with Assistant Chief Constable Peter Lawson, the Dept Supt said she would not be specifying anything more about the vulnerabilities out of respect for Nicola's family who are suffering in so much 'unimaginable pain and distress'. However, police issued a statement just hours later to explain the struggles Nicola had been going through at the time she went missing.
