The mum of murdered Hull student Libby Squire says Nicola Bulley’s disappearance brings back painful memories.
Libby was sexually attacked and killed after a night out with friends in 2019 – her body was found seven weeks later in the river Humber.
Today (15th February) marks 19 days since mum-of-two, Nicola, went missing in Lancashire - with searches focused along a river where she was walking her dog.
Libby's mum Lisa Squire, said:
“When I heard about Nicola’s disappearance, It made me run cold, It really rooted me to the spot. I’d forgotten how horrendous that was knowing that those people on that boat was looking for your child or your loved one is really hard.
“You almost are emotionless because you can’t believe it’s happening to you, I remember going through those scenarios that it’s not real but then you get those crushing feeling that this is real.”
Lisa says the family of missing Nicola Bulley shouldn’t give up hope.
Lisa added:
“It’s not knowing that’s the toughest, that was the hardest bit for me. Just keeping as positive as you can is the only thing they can do at the moment.”
