Nicola Bulley’s partner Paul Ansell has given a heartbreaking TV interview as the search for the missing mum-of-two enters its 15th day. Nicola was walking her dog Willow when she vanished on January 27.
Talking to 5 News presenter Dan Walker, Paul said he wanted to keep “all options open” about Nicola's disappearance. In an emotional 75-minute interview last night, Paul said he thought a local could be to blame for her disappearance.
He also said he knew he would be a suspect in the disappearance of his partner. The mum of two had taken her daughters, aged six and nine, to school before going on her usual walk when she vanished. When her phone was found on a bench overlooking the river it was still connected to a call for her job as a mortgage adviser. A huge search of the river and surrounding countryside by Lancashire Police has found no trace of Nicola.
