Nicola Bulley – latest: Police say ‘possibility’ dog walker left area on path not covered by CCTV

PA

Specialist dive company boss looking for missing Nicola Bulley speaks out

A specialist rescue team helping with the search for Nicola Bulley pulled out of the investigation after suggesting that her body was “categorically not” in the stretch of river.

Peter Faulding, from Specialist Group International, described the case as “baffling” and told reporters that he was “absolutely 100 per cent” sure that Ms Bulley’s body was not in the stretch of river scoured by his team of divers and sonar equipment.

Ms Bulley disappeared 12 days ago shortly after dropping her two daughters off at school. Her phone was found still connected to a Microsoft Teams call on a bench by the riverbank, with her dog running loose nearby.

It comes after the police admitted it was still a “possibility“ she left the area by one path not covered by cameras which is crossed by the main road through the village.

Police were trying to trace dashcam footage from 700 drivers who passed along the road at the time she disappeared, around 9.20am.
