Dashcam footage from a 'blind spot' near the river where Nicola Bulley was last seen could help solve the mystery of her disappearance. Nicola's friend Jill Peck said there is a “missing” section of road in the investigation into her disappearance and she has called for calling for anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
Mum of two Nicola vanished on a dog walk in St Michaels on Wyre on January 27. Her phone was found on a bench overlooking the water and major search effort was launched. Police believe she fell into the river although there is no evidence, and an expert search of the water has found nothing.
Ms Peck told GB News: “We just need some answers, we need factual facts, we need evidence. Anyone out there that feels they may have dashcam footage, there's a section of road that we're missing, Garstang Road towards St Michaels.
"We just need some answers."
Superintendent Sally Riley, of Lancashire Police, said it remained a ‘possibility’ that the 45-year-old left the area by one path not covered by CCTV cameras.
Police are trying to find dashcam footage from 700 drivers who passed along the route at the time she disappeared.
Police say there is a key ten-minute gap in their knowledge of Ms Bulley’s movements on the day she vanished. The gap is between 9.10am when she was last seen, and 9.20am, which is when police believe her phone was placed on the bench where it was later found.
Another of her friends, Heather Gibbons, said "nothing is making sense" in the case
Lancashire Police Superintendent Sally Riley told a press briefing on Tuesday the force continued to rule out any "suspicious or criminal" element to the case. She said a team of 40 detectives are working on around 500 different lines of inquiry and are identifying more than 700 drivers who travelled through the village around the time Nicola disappeared.
She said: "This is normal in a missing person inquiry and does not indicate that there is any suspicious element to this story. The inquiry team remains fully open-minded to any information that may indicate where Nicola is or what happened to her."
But the police chief emphasised that detectives have not yet come across any evidence of foul play. "Any criminal or suspicious element has been discarded," she said.
"It is important to stress that any information that comes in that indicates otherwise is being checked out all the time.
"We are not closed in any way to any particular line of inquiry but all these extensive inquiries, however, have so far found anything of note."
An underwater search expert said he is “baffled” after failing to find missing mother-of-two Nicola Bulley, as her “distraught” partner visited the riverbank where she vanished.
Underwater search expert Peter Faulding, who was called in by the family to help find Ms Bulley, met with her partner Paul Ansell on Wednesday, as day 12 of the search continued in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire, and told him she had still not been found.
Mr Ansell, who has spoken of the “perpetual hell” of not knowing what has happened to Ms Bulley, spent around 10 minutes close to a bench overlooking the River Wyre.
