Police believe Nicola fell into the river

Nicola Bulley‘s sister has spoken out after Lancashire Police said they believe the missing Inskip woman fell into the river.

Louise Cunningham said there’s “no evidence whatsoever”, as she pleaded with the public to keep an open mind about Nicola’s disappearance.

Writing on Facebook, Louise said: “Off the back of the latest police media update, please can I add there is no evidence whatsoever that she has gone into the river, itā€™s just a theory.

“Everyone needs to keep an open mind as not all CCTV and leads have been investigated fully.

“The police confirmed the case is far from over.”

Nicola has been missing since Friday 27 January

Louise’s statement came after Lancashire Police said they were ā€œas confident as they can beā€ that Nicola didnā€™t leave the field where she was last seen.

Explaining the theory, Supt Sally Riley said: ā€œWe have done a huge amount of work both in terms of searches of the area as well as extensive enquiries, which have been going on behind the scenes and based on that work we are as sure as we can be that Nicola has not left the area where she was last seen and that very sadly for some reason she has fallen into the water.

ā€œThere is absolutely nothing to suggest from all the extensive enquiries we have made that anything untoward has happened to her or that there is any third-party involvement in her disappearance.”
