Police investigating the disappearance of Nicola Bulley have said all possible lines of inquiry to find the mother-of-two are being “exhausted”. A team of 40 detectives are working on approximately 500 different lines of inquiry, Superintendent Sally Riley said.
More than 700 drivers who travelled through the village of St Michael’s on Wyre around the time the 45-year-old went missing are also being traced. However, it is still the force’s belief that Ms Bulley fell in the River Wyre, Ms Riley added.
Giving an update at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Ms Riley, of Lancashire Police, said: “At the moment there are around 500 active pieces of information and lines of inquiry that we’re working on to try and find answers for Nicola’s family. This is normal in a missing person inquiry and does not indicate that there is any suspicious element to this story.
