'We wanted to ensure Nikki has the legacy she deserves'

RELATIVES of Nicola Bulley say they took part in a documentary on her disappearance "to ensure she has the legacy that she deserves".

The mortgage adviser vanished after dropping off her two daughters at school. Her body was found in a river a mile away three weeks later after a high-profile search was hindered by conspiracy theorists.

In a statement issued by programme makers Rogan Productions, relatives said: "Nikki's face and name quickly became very recognisable, but there is so much to share about Nikki the person.

"Our sole aim is to provide the definitive record on Nikki to ensure she has the legacy that she deserves.

"Many people have aired their views about her disappearance and her untimely and tragic death - only we can speak about her as a mummy, partner, daughter and sister."
