A specialist diver involved in the search for Nicola Bulley has apparently been taken off the National Crime Agency's list of experts, the Mirror reports. Peter Faulding declared that if the missing mum was in the River Wyre, he would find her using 'state of the art' sonar technology.
Specialist Group International (SGI) were brought in by police to thoroughly search the water for the mum-of-two and Faulding publicly announced that Nicola 'was not in that section of the river' three days later. The specialist group which has been involved in several high profile investigations spent two and a half days scanning a three-mile stretch of the river between St Michael's and Cartford bridge.
However, the team failed to find Nicola's body which was later found by walkers 23 days after she went missing on January 27. Law enforcement sources have now confirmed that SGI has been suspended while a review is carried out into how they missed the 45-year-old's body.
