nicola bulley, the most high—profile missing person in britain. when she vanished nearly three weeks ago there was no suggestion from police, friends orfamily she was vulnerable. but at a packed news conference yesterday, lancashire police revealed for the first time that she was classed as a high—risk missing person. based on a number of specific vulnerabilities that we were made aware of, nicola was graded as high risk. they later added that she had significant issues with alcohol due to her struggles with the menopause. today there was a new statement from herfamily. we as a family believe that the public focus has become distracted from finding nikki and more about speculation and rumours. there are people out there threatening to sell stories about her. this is appalling and needs to stop. due to the perimenopause nikki was taking hrt to help, but this was giving her intense headaches, which caused nikki to stop taking the hrt, thinking that may have helped her, but only ended up causing this crisis. nikki, we hope you are reading this and

what happened is that police talked about nicola - is that police talked about nicola bulley talking about having specific vulnerabilities making her a high—risk person. they would elaborate on that and we pointed out to their media team that if they didn�*t elaborate then people would fill the void about speculation. what has happened in the last 30 minutes is that they told nicola bulley�*s family that there were going to do it and they say that she had significant problems with alcohol and there had been an incident in past where police had been because of their home earlier injanuary and the family were aware of this which is why in january and the family were aware of this which is why they reported it when they reported her missing. it doesn�*t explain what happened to her in any stretch of the matter. pp police are still working on the theory that she ended up in a review. but they said why she was put as high—risk is because she had an alcohol problem. that is explanation that police have given to those vulnerabilities that were spoken about earlier today. find to

the search for mum of two nicola bulley continues, eight days after she went missing. police yesterday said after extensive investigation, they're working on the hypothesis that nicola fell into the river — a theory nicola's friends and family have today questioned. as far as i'm aware, there has been no evidence found in the water that would point to the fact that nikki was in the water or had ever been in the water. you're not going to give up trying to find nicola, are you? no. we can't. we are continuing as we have been all week. our hope is not gone and we will keep going. nicola was last seen eight days ago, walking her dog not farfrom here. not long later, her phone was found on the bench just behind me, still logged into a work call. her dog was found running off the lead. nicola was nowhere to be seen. police say there's around a ten—minute window where her movements are unaccounted for. the search for nicola has involved police, mountain rescue teams and divers, as well as hundreds of people from the local community and further afield. well, i've been lis

did the bbc play a part in a media feeding frenzy around the search for nicola bulley? and did the attention it gave the story intrude on a family's private grief? it was monday evening when news came which many had feared for more than three weeks since nicola bulley first went missing in the lancashire village of st michaels on wyre. police have just confirmed that the body found in the river in lancashire is that of 45—year—old nicola bulley. detectives read a statement from herfamily. nikki, you are no longer a missing person. you have been found. we can let you rest now. this sad case attracted a huge amount of attention on both traditional and social media, much of it far from welcome to ms bulley�*s family. they described the behaviour of some journalists over the past month as absolutely appalling, picking out itv and sky news for particular criticism. but rich warburton felt there were questions to be asked of the bbc, too. one particular area of controversy during the investigation was this revelation by lancashire police last week, reported by danny sav

that is what appears happened to nicola bulley. she was walking her dog on a friday morning, she'd just dropped her children off at a local school. she was on a regular route for walking and in a ten minute window, between about 9:20am and 9:30am that morning, she disappeared. and the working hypothesis from police here in lancashire is that she accidentally fell into the river wyre behind me and never got out again. however, no trace of her has been found. and no evidence of her falling into the river has been found where they believe she fell in. so, there's lots of unanswered questions surrounding this at the moment. the police have said they believed this was an accident, that there was no criminal activity, that there was no third—party involved. so yesterday we had an appeal from them, for a local woman, who they caught on cctv on the day that nicola disappeared. she was wearing a yellow coat and putting a child in a pushchair. that woman, we understand, came forward very quickly once the appeal was made. it's unclear yet w

but nicola bulley speculate. but nicola bulley family were absolutely right . family were absolutely right. specifically call out sky news anditv specifically call out sky news and itv and news being particularly bad. they should hang their heads in shame. so called on the spot record reports anglers crass rubbernecking the worst kind . it rubbernecking the worst kind. it was embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch. it was a shameless scramble for advertising revenue and social media claims. and you're right gutter journalism. media claims. and you're right gutterjournalism. i personally found it quite awful watching kay bailey retracing her steps and sensationalising this sad story . i know she's not here to story. i know she's not here to defend herself. it's just my personal. my personal view. i watched it for about 5 minutes and i had to turn it off. i genuinely felt like i was the family's privacy just by it. well, that was strong views and they're all certainly very welcome on show. again, just emphasise ob

we are ten days now since nicola bulley disappeared, vanished from this river bank. we are about 250 miles north—west of london, in lancashire, in a small village by a river, where people are simply perplexed and disbelieving, in a way, that somebody could just disappear while they are and their early morning walk by this riverside. that is to be what happened to nicola bulley, she was walking her dog on friday morning, shejust dropped a walking her dog on friday morning, she just dropped a children off at school, she was on a regular route for walking, and in school, she was on a regular route forwalking, and in a school, she was on a regular route for walking, and in a ten minute window, she disappeared. the working hypothesis from police as she accidentally fell into the river behind me and never got out again. however, no trace of her has been found, and no evidence of her falling into the river has been found where they believe she fell in. so there is lots of unanswered questions around this at the moment. the police say they believe this was an accident, tha

the search for nicola bulley has been on land, in water, and by air. now, finally, there's news that could be significant. the police were called just after 11:30 yesterday morning to reports of a body in the river wyre. the nearest road was quickly closed off and the footpath along the water's edge also sealed. after a mammoth search which extended all the way to the sea, this discovery was made within a short distance of where nicola went missing, near to the village of st michael's on wyre. she was last seen more than three weeks ago in a field, where she was walking her dog. her phone was then discovered on a bench next to the water. the body was found downriver, about a mile away. an underwater search team and specialist officers went into the water and recovered the body before it was taken away for the identification process to begin. a forensics tent was erected to preserve the scene. there will be a postmortem and then thereafter, there will, of course, be a coroner's inquest, so all the evidence has to be gathered as best and as professionall

nicola bulley was last seen next to the river wyre in lancashire, but despite a major search, no trace of her has been found. our main working hypothesis, therefore, is that nicola has sadly fallen into the river, that there is no third—party or criminal involvement, and that this is not suspicious. her partner says they have not lost hope, despite living in "perpetual hell" since her disappearance. we'll bring you all the latest. also on the programme: a balloon in the skies over america prompts a diplomatic row between the us and china, with claims and denials of spying. some of the thousands of victims of the nhs infected blood scandal — this afternoon, the long—running inquiry into the disaster heard its final evidence. and a man armed with a crossbow who entered the grounds of windsor castle in 2021 has pleaded guilty to a charge of treason. coming up in sportsday later in the hour on the bbc news channel: we will look ahead to the start of the six nations championship. the first match is here in cardiff between wales and ireland. good evening. lancashire police say they bel

nicola bulley�*s phone was found on this bench, her pet spaniel was nearby. she had been seen a few minutes earlier. lancashire police insist they are keeping an open mind. this is the only footpath away from the riverside which is not covered by cctv, so they are trying to trace 700 drivers who passed by that morning. but so far any details they have gathered from them have not contradicted their main theory, which is that nicola bulley accidentally fell into the river in this small lancashire village — a theory her partner has tonight said he questions. personally i am 100% convinced it is not the river. so something has happened. something has happened. find out what it is. repeated searches of the waterway have found no trace of her but police are now looking further afield in the belief she was carried out to sea. danny savage, bbc news, lancashire. the manchester city manager, pep guardiola, has accused premier league rivals of conspiring against them, after his club was charged with more than a hundred breaches of financial regulations. on monday, ci

the family is adamant that nicola bulley is still alive. the central message is that the focus should be on the search and not on her history or past. not on anything about the family at all. central to it all is the message that is directed straight to nicola. we need you back in our lives it says. we love you so much and your girls want to cuddle. we need you home. don't be scared. we would love you so very much. �* . ~ ., , be scared. we would love you so very much. �* ., , much. and, nick, finally. has there been a response _ much. and, nick, finally. has there been a response from _ much. and, nick, finally. has there been a response from the - much. and, nick, finally. has there been a response from the police . much. and, nick, finally. has there been a response from the police in| been a response from the police in regards to the statement from the family? it regards to the statement from the famil ? . ., ., regards to the statement from the famil ? a, ., ,., . family? it came from the police. in many ways. _ family? it came fro
