Detectives searching for missing Nicola Bulley are due to hold a press conference later today. Lancashire Police are holding the event as they seek to combat disinformation about the mother-of-two's disappearance.
The media briefing is scheduled for 11.30am. It will be led by Assistant Chief Constable Peter Lawson along with the Senior Investigating Officer Detective Supt Rebecca Smith.
The press conference will take place as speculation about what might have happened to the 45-year-old has continued to grow in the 19 days since she disappeared. Lancashire Police say Mr Lawson and Ms Smith will be happy to take questions from invited members of the media.
