Police have urged a potentially "significant" witness to get in touch following the disappearance of 45-year-old Nicola Bulley.
The mortgage adviser was last seen on Friday January 26 at around 9.20am while walking her brown spaniel Willow along the edge of the River Wyre in St Michael's, Lancashire. However, a member of the public raised the alarm when Willow was spotted running free without her harness less than an hour later.
The Mirror reports that the mum's phone was found nearby, and that police are now focusing their searches on the immediate area around this spot. On Thursday, Lancashire Police released a CCTV image of a woman they believe was in the area at the time Nicola was last seen and have urged her to get in touch.
