Lancashire Police have issued an update into the search for missing mum Nicola Bulley saying that she had 'significant issues with alcohol' which had 'resurfaced over recent months'. The force have issued an updated statement this evening (February 15) saying they have taken an 'unusual step' to release information about her vulnerabilities.
Nicola has been missing for 20 days from St Michael's-on-Wyre with intensive searches taking place of the River Wyre, near to where she went missing. This has been expanded in recent days as searches for the missing mum continue.
Lancashire Police have now released a statement detailing vulnerabilities about Nicola which led to her being classed as 'high-risk' when she went missing. This includes 'significant issues' with alcohol which police say was brought on by 'ongoing struggles with the menopause'. The statement added that this has caused 'real challenges' for her husband Paul and the rest of her family in recent months.
