Nicola Bulley search - all the key evidence and day-by-day timeline

The hunt for missing mum Nicola Bulley is now nearing the two-week mark. The 45-year-old mortgage adviser was last spotted 13 days ago while walking her dog on the banks of the River Wyre in Lancashire.

Meanwhile, police have had to urge the public not to speculate on the circumstances, or attempt to 'take matters into their own hands' by breaking into derelict buildings in the surrounding area. Local residents have said hundreds of people have visited the area, with some even reportedly taking selfies at the bench where Nicola's phone was found.

At 8.43am, she walked along the river path heading towards a gate in the lower field. She was seen by a dog walker who knew her at around 8.50am, and their pets interacted briefly before they parted ways, according to police. At 9.33am, another dog walker found her phone on a bench beside the river, with Willow darting between the two. At 10.50am, Ms Bulley’s family and the school attended by her children were told about her disappearance.

Day 3: Sunday, January 29 Local residents reportedly held a meeting at the village hall on Sunday morning to organise their own search. Around 100 people from the local area joined in the hunt to look for Nicola. She told reporters: “The dog was found about an hour later, as was her mobile phone, so her family are very concerned, as are we. We’ve mounted a really intensive operation to try to find Nicola.” She also confirmed that the phone was discovered on a bench near the riverbank while the dog was found loose between the river and the bench.

Police said the man, who was walking a small white fluffy dog on a lead, had spoken to a woman in the area who found Nicola’s dog, before he walked in the direction of Rowanwater. Police later confirmed that the potential witness had come forward and been spoken to. Day 7: Thursday, February 2 Lancashire Police tracked down a second witness, who they had identified with the help of the public using CCTV. However, they told police they did not have any further information to aid their inquiry.

Day 8: Friday, February 3 Lancashire Police held a press conference, and Supt Riley confirmed that the force's main hypothesis was that Nicola had fallen into the River Wyre. She urged against speculation, but said it was “possible” that an “issue” with Nicola’s dog may have led her to the water’s edge.
