Two watchdogs have cleared Lancashire Police over its handling of the Nicola Bulley disappearance but an independent review is still set to be carried out.
Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner Andrew Snowden commissioned the review in February after Ms Bulley's body was found. The 45-year-old mum went missing on January 27 after being last seen walking her dog along the River Wyre in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire.
Following a major search operation, her body was found 23 days later in the river about a mile away from where she was last seen. Her family called her the "centre of their world" and later criticised the conduct of both Lancashire Constabulary and the media in relation to the case.
