'After 24-25 years of doing this type of work and hundreds of cases, I am totally baffled'
The head of a team of private underwater search experts looking for Nicola Bulley has cast doubt on Lancashire Police's current working hypothesis that the mum-of-two had fallen into the river.
He said his team will look through another stretch of river on Tuesday "towards where Nicola originally went missing". Speaking on TalkTV, Mr Faulding said he is "baffled" that Nicola has not been found after 10 days of searching. "Normally, if a person has drowned, they go down within a few metres if being searched for the same day. In another couple of days I will be confident she is not in that area at all.The expert diver added: "A body will move after a time, but they searched that area and came up with nothing – that is what is weird here. We are baffled."
The force has searched the river and riverbank all the way to the sea, using search teams, sonar, search dogs, drone, helicopter and CCTV. On Monday, Lancashire Police released two new images of Ms Bulley on the day she went missing, when she dropped her two daughters, aged six and nine, off at school and then went on her usual dog walk alongside the river.
