'they want to be absolutely sure that something they can't quite locate isn't still in the river'
A forensic expert claims specialist divers searching the river close to where missing mum Nicola Bulley's body was discovered are looking for "a specific artefact".
Dr Richard Shepherd, a forensic pathologist who has been involved in well-known cases such as Stephen Lawrence and was called as an expert for Harold Shipman's trial, told the Mirror he believes police are searching for a missing item. When asked if he thought authorities could be attempting a reconstruction of events, Dr Shepherd said: "I think it's unlikely because once again rivers are so variable. Even if you get a model or a manikin to put clothes on or a real person you couldn't possibly repeat what happened that day.
In a statement yesterday, the HM Coroner confirmed they requested the assistance of Lancashire Police to help produce information on the death of Nicola.
