Nicola Bulley

A body has been found in the River Wyre this morning, Lancashire Police have confirmed - however it is yet to be identified.

He also told BBC Radio 4: “Only yesterday there were people purporting to be the media that quite clearly weren’t and they were climbing over the fence to take pictures of the body that the police were recovering. It was unpleasant information to hear but I think in all the circumstances, from what I know and believe, I think the police were right to do so.” We recognise the huge impact that Nicola's disappearance has had on her family and friends, but also on the people of St Michael's. “We need to let the police carry out and conclude their investigation. We recognise the huge impact that Nicola’s disappearance has had on her family and friends, but also on the people of St Michael’s. Nicola's family have been informed and are of course devastated. She was the centre of our world. It said: "Our family liasion officers have had to confirm our worst fears today. Do the press and other media channels, and so-called professionals not know when to stop? The community is rocked by her death, the family ask for respect to be left alone,] Nicola’s family have been informed and are of course devastated. Roads surrounding the area were cordoned off, and a helicopter, police drones and diving teams attended the scene.

Police divers and a helicopter are seen near to where the mother-of-two disappeared three weeks ago.

The BBC has contacted Lancashire Police for a response. Officers are at the scene in St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire, where a police helicopter was also seen overhead and a tent has been put up. Divers were seen going into the River Wyre on Sunday afternoon about a mile from the bench where Ms Bulley's phone was found.

A Lancashire Police spokesman said officers were called to reports of a body in the river close to Rawcliffe Road at around 11.35am on Sunday. A statement said: ...

The search for Nicola Bulley, 45, has riveted Britain since she went missing on January 27 while walking her dog in northwest England.

Ms Bulley disappeared while walking her dog in St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire, sparking a major search. On Sunday, Lancashire Police said they "sadly ...

How is it then, after all those extensive searches and police saying that was where she was, her body was potentially so close? Since Ms Bulley went missing, police have said she was in the river. It is understood two people walking their dogs by the river spotted the body and alerted police. Ms Bulley's family said they were aware that police were revealing the detail as there were "people out there speculating and threatening to sell stories about her". In a sign of the significant levels of attention being paid to the case, Lancashire Police's investigation also faced a backlash after disclosing Ms Bulley's struggles with the menopause and alcohol, which they said was "to avoid any further speculation". At the heart of this investigation comes the question of how police dealt with the disappearance of a woman - specifically the information they shared about her with the public and their ability to deal with the spotlight of attention that suddenly arrived in Lancashire.

Mother-of-two Nicola Bulley's partner has told of his “agony” after a body was found in the river near where she went missing.

Mother-of-two Nicola Bulley’s partner has told of his “agony” after a body was found in the river near where she went missing. A statement from Lancashire Police on Sunday said: “We were called today at 11.36am to reports of a body in the River Wyre, close to Rawcliffe Road.

Bulley's partner, Paul Ansell, says family trying to stay strong as private diving expert defends search.

The difference between these two search areas has caused a lot of confusion and unfair criticism towards myself and my team at Specialist Group International (SGI). “My previous comments saying that if Nicola was in the river, I would find her, still stand. He said his thoughts were with Bulley’s family and friends. Unfortunately it was a member of the public that made a grim discovery, unconfirmed as yet to be Nicola. “Procedures to identify the body are ongoing. No formal identification has yet been carried out, so we are unable to say whether this is Nicola Bulley at this time,” Lancashire police said in a statement.

TalkTV reporter Oliver Whitfield-Miočić reports from St Michael's-on-Wyre where police searching for Nicola Bulley discovered a body.

For now, the community is anxiously waiting to hear whether the body found in the water on Sunday is Nicola. “They are disgusting human beings and I’m trying to report it to the police.” But there is anger the police released personal information about Nicola’s peri-menopause and alcohol “issues”. And it is not just the youth of St Michael’s who have questions. They have seen the posters around the village and naturally they ask things about what is going on.” “We are trying to keep things how they were before, but kids aren’t stupid," he said.

We are looking into these and will not hesitate to take action where appropriate," the police said. The missing case of 45-year-old Nicola Bulley in northwest England has rocked Britain. One such is the missing case of 45-year-old Nicola Bulley in northwest England. However, he added that he changed his mind after hearing of Bulley’s issues with alcohol and her mental health. The call made police suspicious as River Wyre, which is close to Rawcliffe Road is within a mile of where Bulley was last seen. No formal identification has yet been carried out, so we are unable to say whether this is Nicola Bulley at this time."

Police searching for Nicola Bulley, who went missing on 27 January, have found a body after receiving a tip-off from two walkers.

Bulley's family faced a cruel sleuthing free-for-all. But a breakdown of trust between public and police got us here, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams.

The worse judgment call on the police’s part at that point was to reveal that Bulley had an alcohol problem, in the midst of a difficult menopause. Tragedy is never pretty, and rarely limits itself to those directly affected, often prompting questions about the social conditions that allowed it. In the midst of a culture of distrust and a sleuthing free-for-all, the Lancashire constabulary tried to retake control of the narrative: on 15 February, more than a fortnight after Bulley’s disappearance, it held a press conference to debunk “persistent myths”. It caused needless pain for those who cared about her, and reinforced the sense of institutional misogyny within policing as a whole.

The restraint and discretion that would once have been an accepted part of policing is now viewed with the suspicion that the officers are just covering for each other. Of course we hope that the Met is the outlier force rather than just the first lid to be blown, but the force has tainted policing across the nation. The narcissistic urge to get closer to a prominent story by feeding false information to the police has always existed, but this time it was different, wildly amplified by social media, so that crank calls became viral conspiracy theories. Everything the police said with confidence led to a riot of speculation about all the other things they may not have considered. One TikTok account, Curtis Cool Stuff, posted a video of a man digging up woodland, and another of him roaming around a derelict house opposite the bank where Bulley was last seen. The glee and shamelessness of people broadcasting their vigilante investigations was chilling. If the police suspected no third party involvement, they still wouldn’t necessarily stick to a single hypothesis, still less announce it.

It saddens us to think that one day we will have to explain to them that the press and members of the public accused their dad of wrongdoing (and) misquoted and vilified friends and family.
