Law enforcement sources have now confirmed that SGI has been suspended while a review is carried out into how they missed the 45-year-old's body
A specialist diver involved in the search for Nicola Bulley has apparently been taken off the National Crime Agency's list of experts, the Mirror reports. Peter Faulding declared that if the missing mum was in the River Wyre, he would find her using 'state of the art' sonar technology.
They were allegedly dropped from an official list of experts recommended to assist in investigations on the Expert Advisers database. A National Crime Agency spokesperson said that it "does not employ, endorse or accredit experts" on its adviser database. Officers received a tip from walkers who had spotted something in the water. Defending his team, Mr Faulding, 60 explained that his £55,000 sonar can only scan the water and cannot travel through reeds where the mortgage advisor's body was found.
He confirmed that they did search where the body was found an that they didn't see Nicola 'on the days we searched'. In a previous statement he said: "The police underwater search teams and land search teams were searching for three full weeks and were also unable to find Nicola.
