Nicola Bulley: Police search caravan site near where mother went missing

Police have been spotted searching a caravan site near where missing dog walker Nicola Bulley disappeared.

Ms Bulley, 45, vanished while walking her springer spaniel dog Willow alongside the River Wyre in St Michael’s on Wyre on 27 January. She had dropped off her daughters, aged six and nine, at school and was on her usual walk when she disappeared.

Officers are now trying to trace dashcam footage from 700 drivers who passed along the route at the time she disappeared, around 9.20am on 27 January. There are two other exits from the area, other than the river, and one is covered by CCTV.

Security lenses from a caravan park - which was visited by officers on Monday - covered most of the field where Ms Bulley was exercising her spaniel Willow when she disappeared 10 days ago.

But friends of Ms Bulley say the camera close to the site is not working.

Her friend Tilly-Ann wrote on Facebook: “There’s CCTV at the back of the caravan park.

“The only camera that isn’t working is the one that would have seen everything."

The focus of the police search has now shifted from where Ms Bulley vanished to further downstream, towards where the River Wyre empties into the Irish Sea at Morecambe Bay.

A dinghy with two officers on board could be seen on the water on Thursday, while an orange rescue boat was also spotted appearing to do sweeps of the river off Knott End-on-Sea, at the mouth of the bay, around 10 miles from where the mortgage adviser’s phone was found on a bench, still connected to a work call.
