Police have urged social media sleuths to refrain from indulging in 'damaging' commentary and conspiracy theories about Nicola Bulley's disappearance.
The 45-year-old mum-of-two disappeared while walking her springer spaniel dog, Willow, alongside the River Wyre in St Michael's, Lancashire, on January 27. It has led to a massive search effort, but sections of people have been abusing witnesses and local businesses, the Mirror reports.
The force has now said that speculation about Nicola's fate by "so-called experts" is "damaging" to the investigation, as cops also played down reports from witnesses, who described seeing a red van they considered to be suspicious in the area around the time Nicola went missing.
