Police Revisit River Site of Nicola Bulley’s Discovery

"Police Divers Resume Search for Missing Mother-of-Two in Lancashire River"

Police divers have returned to the River Wyre in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire, where Nicola Bulley, a mother of two, disappeared. The diving team was seen in the water near a weir and downstream from a bench where police believe Ms Bulley, 45, went into the water on 27 January. She vanished while walking her dog along the River Wyre after dropping her daughters, aged six and nine, to school. Her disappearance sparked a huge search operation and intense media and public interest.

Tragically, her body was found in the river 23 days after she went missing, around a mile further downstream from the bench on 19 February. A brief clip of police divers in the River Wyre on 4 April was uploaded to YouTube. In a statement, Lancashire Police confirmed that they are carrying out some work on the direction of HM coroner. An inquest into Ms Bulley’s death is to be held on 26 June.
