Nicola Bulley: Police continue search for missing mother

Police have been spotted at a caravan site close to the last known location of missing mum Nicola Bulley.

It is being reported that police are at the site to provide reassurance to the elderly owner who has reported getting threats as a result of the disappearance. No search warrant is believed to have been issued.

Bulley dropped her two young daughters off at school before walking her dog Willow near St Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire and has not been seen since.

Nicola's phone was found near the river still connected to a Teams call with her work.

Willow was found roaming the area freely, eventually leading to a passerby notifying the authorities.

Now, following the lengthy search since she went missing on January 27, police are believed to be expanding the search to the day before she went missing.

Multiple CCTV 'blind spots' have been identified during the search, one of which the caravan park is believed to be.

Taking to Facebook during the search in a post backed by Ms Bulley's family, a friend named Tilly-Ann, said: "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."

A CCTV camera from a nearby garage is thought to have had a field of vision over one of the exits of the field where Nicola went missing.

Police are now believed to have requested access to its footage.

Elsewhere a witness has reportedly claimed to have seen two men "acting suspiciously" near her walking route the day before she disappeared.

As per the Mirror, it remains uncertain whether requests for CCTV have any relation to the claims.

Meanwhile, trawling continues in the River Wyre towards the sea at Morecambe Bay.

The search has incorporated the help from a huge number of specialist emergency service teams including the HM Coastguard, mountain rescue and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, with sniffer dogs, drones and police helicopters.

The developments come as people started leaving notes for Nicola nearby, the first of which was left by her partner Paul Ansell.
