The inquest into the death of Nicola Bulley, the mum-of-two from Lancashire who went missing in January, has opened at the County Hall, Preston. Dr James Adeley, Senior Coroner for Lancashire, presided over proceedings throughout Monday.
Ms Bulley, 45, vanished after dropping her daughters, aged six and nine, at school, and then taking her usual dog walk along the River Wyre in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire, on January 27. Her phone, still connected to a work Teams call, was found on a bench overlooking the water. Her body was found in the River Wyre around a mile from the bench, on February 19.
The County Hall in Preston was busy with members of the public and media on Monday morning ahead of the two-day hearing.
