Major update in hunt for Nicola Bulley as specialist divers head out to search river where missing mum vanished

SPECIALIST divers are heading to the river where missing mum Nicola Bulley vanished ten days ago.

The dog walker, 45, disappeared after dropping her children off at school in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire, on Friday January 27.

Since then there has been no trace of the mum-of-two, leaving her family in agony.

Cops this week revealed their “main working hypothesis” was that Nicola had “sadly fallen” into the icy River Wyre.

And now specialist divers are on the way to search the river for police.

Specialist Group International wrote on Facebook this evening: “I have just had a long call with the Lancashire Police search adviser to discuss the search for Nicola. 

“We will work closely with the police search teams who are working long hours to find Nicola.

“The team are leaving shortly from our base in Dorking on route to Lancashire to start tomorrow morning.”

It comes after cops reportedly turned down their help earlier this week.

SGI previously said: “Unfortunately, Lancashire police have responded via the family declining my offer saying they will continue with their own river searches using their current resources let us know if we are required.”

In a statement, Lancashire Police said: “SGI have reached out to the family and offered to assist in the search for Nicola. Lancashire Police have already liaised with them.

“They will deploy under the direction of Lancashire Police and will join an already large, multi- agency search operation involving a wide variety of search assets and resources.

“Their capability will overlay what has already been, and continues to be completed, in order to give extra search coverage along what is an extremely challenging environment to search.”
