Officers searching for Nicola Bulley want to trace a “key witness” who was seen in the area near where the dog walker went missing, Lancashire Police said. The woman was pushing a pram on the morning of Friday, January 27.
Search teams are continuing to trawl the River Wyre near St Michael’s, working on the hypothesis that missing Nicola, from nearby Inskip, could have fallen in when she disappeared. Police believe the 45-year-old mortgage adviser went missing in just “a 10-minute window” while she was walking her dog, Willow, close to the River Wyre, after dropping off her daughters – aged six and nine – at school.
The woman police want to trace was seen on Garstang Road/Blackpool Road, St Michael’s. Police said she was seen walking from the direction of Allotment Lane towards the Grapes public house at approximately 8.22am and is seen again walking on Allotment Lane towards Garstang Road at 8.41am.
