Nicola Bulley pal reveals critical 'blind spot' in evidence appeal as specialists end search

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A friend of missing mum Nicola Bulley has launched a desperate appeal for evidence as she reveals a critical 'blind spot' in the investigation.

Jill Peck highlighted a 'missing' section of road not accounted for in her disappearance and has begged anyone with dash-cam footage to come forward as they 'need answers'.

The 45-year-old mortgage advisor vanished while walking her dog in St Michaels on Wyre on January 27, the Mirror reports. Her phone was found discarded on a bench overlooking the water and her dog Willow was wandering around alone off the lead nearby, sparking a huge police search.Having met several other dog walkers that morning, there is only a ten-minute window where officers have no knowledge of Nicola Bulley's movement on the morning she disappeared.

The gap is between 9.10am when she was last seen and 9.20am when police believe her phone was put down on the bench where it was later found.Detectives are maintaining their 'working hypothesis' that Ms Bully fell into the river but the lead of a special investigation team said his 'gut instinct' is there was a 'third party' involved.
