Peter Faulding, founder of Specialist Group International, has offered his services to Lancashire Police for free
The head of an expert underwater search team says that they will find missing Nicola Bulley 'immediately' if she drowned in the River Wyre.
Mr Faulding has said the machine will pick Nicola up 'straight away' if she is in the water. He believes that the mum likely got "snagged" within around 500 metres of the point of entry if she went into the river and drowned. “Nicola wouldn’t have gone far if she was in this river because it’s got shallows and she would get lodged. There’s no way she would have gone out to the estuary. The river’s not in flood, it’s benign.”
He added: "She wouldn’t have been dragged down, no way. There is apparently quite a deep pool in the middle there. Explaining how the equipment works, he said: "The sonar will highlight every stick and stone on the bottom. It’s as good as that. As I tow it along I get a picture on the screen in front of me.
