Ansell has described the ordeal as “perpetual hell”. She said: “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.” “Family and friends need these accusations to stop immediately,” she said. “We are all in shock … Speaking from the family home in Inskip, he said: “We are living through this but it doesn’t feel real. A private underwater team is now helping police in the search, Sky News reported on Sunday. “Everyone’s going to have their thoughts, their theories. But that has not stopped frenzied online speculation. The team has offered its services free of charge.

Broken CCTV camera 'would have seen everything' in Nicola Bulley ... (The Independent)

Police are appealing for dashcam and doorbell camera footage which could shine a light on the mother-of-two's whereabouts.

“There’s CCTV at the back of the caravan park. However, her friend Emma White has rejected the idea that she would have been carrying a tennis ball, an assertion backed by Ms Ann, who said that Ms Bulley and her partner Paul Ansell “rarely” take the tennis ball out on walks with their dog Willow as she is “very protective” over it. “We must stress that she was very much being treated as a witness and was one of many people in St Michael's on Friday, January 27th,” the force said. [discovered on a bench at the riverbank](/news/uk/home-news/nicola-bulley-missing-dog-walker-fitbit-data-witness-evidence-b2276031.html) at around 9:35am, along with her dog’s lead. [CCTV](/topic/cctv) camera in the area where [Nicola Bulley](/topic/nicola-bulley) disappeared “is the one that would have seen everything”, a friend of [the missing dog walker](/news/uk/home-news/nicola-bulley-speculation-fitbit-data-sister-witness-b2276015.html) has said. “There’s only a very small area onto Garstang Lane toward the A586 which is not covered by CCTV and that’s why we’re appealing today for dashcam footage or for people who may have been walking on Garstang Lane or driving in the area to come forward if they can.’”

Lancashire Police confirmed to CNN that the dog was dry and did not appear to have entered the water. People don't just vanish into thin air," her sister Louise Cunningham said in a recent interview with Sky News. Bulley's family were left unsatisfied with the police's theory, however. "I don't think people are realising that the family are sitting at home and are able to access and see all of that." "But to see some of the vile speculation online - some of the theories that are incredibly, incredibly hurtful. "However, parts of the riverbank are treacherous, and we would ask that nobody puts themselves in danger and that the police and partner agencies' efforts to find Nicola are not compromised," she said. "We believe that Nicola was in the riverside area and remained at the riverside area. A friend of Bulley's told the Mirror that she had since spoken to two dog walkers who had seen Bulley that day, saying that she had been "laughing and joking" with them as she passed by. "We remain open to any inquiries that might lead us to question that, but at this time we understand that she was by the river."

Nicola Bulley: CCTV camera that 'would have seen everything' in ... (Accrington Observer)

More than 100 people, including members of Nicola's family, attended morning service at St Michael's on Wyre church.

Reverend Andrew Wilkinson, who has been at the church for more than 20 years, said: "We have been making a special effort to keep the church open. She said there were no scuff marks on the ground close to where her phone was found - but said she would not necessarily expect them to be. CCTV/dash cam footage etc is something the investigating team have been focusing on and we continue to ask the public's help for that." One frustrated friend took to social media to allege that a CCTV camera pointing towards the spot where Nicola may have last been seen was faulty, crippling the investigation. She wrote: "There's CCTV at the back of the caravan park. Third party involvement is not suspected, but Nicola's sister has urged investigators to keep an "open mind" about her fate as hundreds of volunteers joined a search for the missing mortgage advisor on Sunday.

A team of divers from Specialist Group International (SGI) will join the search this morning after reaching out to police.

We want to find her and provide answers to her family.” The force believes the 45-year-old mortgage adviser went missing in just “a 10-minute window” on January 27 while she was walking her dog, Willow, close to the River Wyre, after dropping off her daughters – aged six and nine – at school. Ms Bulley had logged in to a Microsoft Teams call at 9.01am, which ended at 9.30am with her phone still connected to the call. “The speculation and abuse on social media aimed at some people who are merely assisting our inquiry is totally unacceptable,” the force said. On Saturday, officers said they wanted to trace a person seen pushing a pram in the area near where the dog walker went missing. The team has offered its services “free of charge” as the "world's best" sonar equipment that can scan the river "in a day" is set to be deployed near to where she was last sighted. “We will work closely with the police search teams who are working long hours to find Nicola. “I have had a very productive call with Lancashire Police this afternoon, we will build an excellent working relationship. “Our kit is the best you can buy, it’s the highest frequency, there are forces who carry sonar but it’s a lot lower frequency generally. It comes as new images have been released of Ms Bulley from the day she disappeared. That river, we can literally scan within a day, a day and a half. “I have just had a long call with the Lancashire police search adviser to discuss the search for Nicola,” he said.

Superintendent Sally Riley urged against speculation, but said it was “possible” that an “issue” with Ms Bulley’s dog may have led her to the water’s edge.

Her father told the newspaper: “We just dread to think we will never see her again, if the worst came to the worst and she was never found, how will we deal with that for the rest of our lives.” Her family released a statement saying they had been “overwhelmed by the support” in their community, and that her daughters were “desperate to have their mummy back home safe”. Lancashire Constabulary spoke with a potential witness – a man who had been walking a small white fluffy dog near the River Wyre at the time of Ms Bulley’s disappearance. The search for the mother-of-two has now been ongoing for over a week, as police work on the hypothesis that she may have fallen into the River Wyre while walking her dog.

we have noticed it does feel like some people have come to maybe use it as more like a tourist spot". On Monday, a force representative said they could "say with confidence" that Ms Bulley had not left the field during the key times "via Rowanwater, either through the site itself or via the piece of land at the side" and did not return from the fields along Allotment Lane or via the path at the rear of the Grapes pub on to Garstang Road. Lancashire Police believe Ms Bulley may have fallen into the River Wyre, but have said they "remain open minded" and were continuing to carry out a "huge number" of inquiries. "I know that the family are massively appreciative of all the police have done [and] we feel we have got the best of the best on that water. "The police divers would have found her that day if she had fallen in at that point," he said. Speaking on the riverbank, Ms Gibbons said speculation on social media about the disappearance had been "hard" for the family to deal with and the number of visitors arriving in the area had made it feel like a "tourist spot".
