Nicola Bulley latest news: Police in North West England are searching for Nicola Bulley, a 45-year-old mother of two daughters, who apparently went missing ‘into thin air’ while walking her dog on January 27. Before her disappearance, Bulley was seen walking along the River Wyre in St Michael’s on Wyre in Lancashire. Police found her mobile phone near a bench on the riverside. Investigators believe Nicola might have fallen into the river, but they have not found any evidence yet supporting this theory. Meanwhile, the search operation is going on in full swing and a private underwater rescue team is also believed to have joined the police to find the missing mother.

What did Nicola Bulley’s partner say?
Nicola Bulley’s partner Paul Ansell has spoken for the first time since the disappearance of his wife.

Nicola’s husband Paul Ansell was quoted as saying by the broadcaster that his whole focus was his two daughters and he was trying to stay as strong as he can. He also thanked the community for showing solidarity which gave the family “a great amount of comfort.”

Nicola Bulley’s sister refuses to accept the ‘river fall’ theory
Nicola Bulley’s sister, Louise Cunningham, has questioned the theory that suggests she might have fallen into the river. She has urged the authorities and people to keep their minds open and argued that there was no evidence suggesting her sister could slip into the water. She was quoted by Sky News as saying, “Something has got to have been missed. Somebody must know something. People don’t just vanish into thin air.”
She also pleaded with the community for any clue or hint that could help the police find her missing sister. She said, “There has got to be somebody who knows something and all we are asking is, no matter how small or big, if there is anything you remember that doesn’t seem right, then please reach out to the police.”
