'I’m glad really that we haven’t found Nicola because I didn’t want to recover another dead body.'
An underwater search expert said the case of missing Lancashire mother Nicola Bulley is a “complete mystery”, after his team could not find her.
Nicola’s phone was left on the bench near the river, still connected to a work call, with the dog lead and harness found close by. Mr Faulding and his team, from rescue operation Specialist Group International , have been searching the area around the bench, the “entry point” where it is believed by police Nicola fell into the water.
On how Nicola’s family are coping, he added: “It was quite emotional, I mean, brings a tear to my eye to be honest with you, sitting with Paul for a couple of hours, hearing about Nicola and particularly the children, their ‘Where’s mummy?’. That’s not nice and they’re clearly in distress and they’ve got no answers and nobody can give them any answers.
“And then that’s my area cleared then, and we went upstream as well for about a mile upstream just in case, so it’s been extremely thorough. My team have worked long hours on this to get this done and we have done it free of charge to help this family.”
