UK - Nicola Bulley, St Michaels on Wyre (Lancashire), Jan 27, 2023 *MEDIA, MAPS, & TIMELINES - NO DISCUSSION*


The disclosure of "highly sensitive" personal information by police investigating Nicola Bulley's disappearance was "avoidable and unnecessary", a review has concluded.

The report also said not declaring the investigation a critical incident created "significant challenges" for police, while the role of underwater search expert Peter Faulding was criticised.

“I had in fact found Nicola at 10.34am on February 7, 2023 after just 6 minutes of searching.

"The enhanced sonar file clearly shows Nicola’s body lying in a foetal position on her right side, legs bent.”

Mr Faulding’s latest claims contradict previous statements he made that same afternoon (February 7) when he told the media “there was no sign of Nicola” and he did not think she was in the river.

The bombshell revelation that Nicola Bulley had been experiencing 'significant issues with alcohol' before her disappearance was cleared with her family in advance, today's report reveals.

And it says references to her struggle with the menopause – which sparked allegations of 'victim-blaming' – were made at the specific request of her relatives.

But the report says the move – which sparked a storm of criticism from across the political spectrum – was 'avoidable and unnecessary', although not unlawful.

 
FULL PRESS CONFERENCE

21ST NOVEMBER


We reviewed over 350 documents, emails and phone records, interviewed more than 70 key people from Lancashire Constabulary and gained insight from over 30 subject matter experts outside the force, including those from the media.

Key findings​

  • There were unprecedented levels of mainstream and social media interest in the case.
  • The police investigation and search was very well conducted by Lancashire Constabulary.
  • The decision not to call the investigation a critical incident, despite it meeting the national definition, set the tone within the constabulary and led to several challenges.
  • Media handling and communication of information to the public, and the management of this by the leadership team, led to a breakdown of public confidence.
  • Despite being lawful, the release of personal details regarding Nicola was avoidable and unnecessary.
  • The relationship between the police and mainstream media needs to be rebuilt.

 
9pm tonight Channel 5 for UK viewers there is a documentary, Nicola Bulley The Disappearance That Gripped Britain.
 
Nicola's disappearance is the subject of a new documentary airing on Channel 5 on Friday night. The programme, Nicola Bulley: The Disappearance That Gripped Britain, will look at how the search for the missing woman unfolded and the speculation that surrounded it.

The documentary is set to feature an interview with Paul, Nicola's partner of 12 years, which he gave to Channel 5's Dan Walker as the search entered its third week. Paul told the channel that his family was going through "unprecedented hell" as they waited for news - but he vowed to never "give up on her".

The engineer, who said he had hoped to marry Nicola - known as Nikki to friends and family - and have their daughters as bridesmaids, described his partner as fun, loving and an exceptional mother. "If you’re friends with her, she’s the most loyal friend that you could ever have," he said. "With Nikki, what you see is what you get. There’s no hidden... nothing’s hidden."
