Major search operation to find Nicola Bulley continues
The 45 year old was last seen walking her dog in St Michael's on Wyre on Friday 27th January
Search teams are continuing to trawl the River Wyre near St Michael's in Lancashire to find missing Nicola Bulley.
They're working on the hypothesis that the 45-year-old mortgage adviser from nearby Inskip could have fallen in.
Multi-agency searches have entered a ninth day, as her friends and family hope for her return.
Detectives are also working behind the scenes to analyse CCTV and dashcam videos, and members of the public with footage which could be useful have been urged to come forward. Their search has been aided by specialists, divers, sniffer dogs, drones and police helicopters.
Police believe Ms Bulley went missing in just "a 10-minute window" while she was walking her dog, Willow, close to the River Wyre, after dropping off her daughters - aged six and nine - at school.
Ms Bulley had logged in to a Microsoft Teams call at 9.01am, which ended at 9.30am with her phone still connected to the call.
She was seen by another dog walker at 9.10am - the last known sighting - and police traced telephony records of her mobile phone as it remained on a bench overlooking the river at 9.20am.
The device was found by a dog walker at around 9.35am, with Willow nearby.
Police have vowed to continue the search for Ms Bulley. They've urged the public to look out along the river for the items of clothing that Ms Bulley was last seen wearing.
This includes an ankle-length black quilted gilet jacket, a black Engelbert Strauss waist-length coat, tight-fitting black jeans, long green walking socks, ankle-length green Next wellies, a necklace and a pale blue Fitbit.
