Sonar search

Specialists scour river for missing mum as daughters 'need answers'

DIVERS are using specialist sonar equipment to scour a river in the hunt for missing mum Nicola Bulley as her partner demands answers for their two frightened young girls.

Speaking yesterday, 10 days after Nicola vanished, partner Paul Ansell said: “We have to find her safe and well.

“I can’t put those girls to bed again tonight with no answers.”

But no sign of her was found by nightfall after the team searched a three to four-mile stretch of water near where the 45-year-old was last seen.

Peter Faulding, head of private diving team Specialist Group International, said the hunt continues today on another stretch of the River Wyre “towards where Nicola originally went missing” near the village of St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancs.
