Nicola Bulley: Personal disclosures by police 'unnecessary'

Police are criticised for revealing personal information during their search for the missing mother.

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.

Revelation Nicola Bulley struggled with alcohol cleared with family

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.

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.
