On 27 January 2023, British woman Nicola Bulley disappeared whilst walking her dog in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, England. Lancashire Constabulary said that there was no evidence of either suspicious activity or third party involvement in the disappearance and quickly stated that their working hypothesis was that she had fallen into the River Wyre. However, an extensive search of the river and surrounding land involving police divers, helicopters, sniffer dogs and drones found no body. On 19 February, her body was found in the river approximately one mile from where she was last seen; it was subsequently recovered by the police. The following day, Lancashire Constabulary confirmed that the body was Bulley's. The cause of death has not yet been established. On 19 February, police said a body had been found in the river, by two dog walkers, approximately one mile (1.6 km) downstream of where Bulley was last seen. The body, which was among reeds and undergrowth, was subsequently recovered. Police set up a tent beside the river and a police helicopter operated above the area. Some members of the public tried to take photos of the body by climbing over a fence and pretending to be journalists. On 20 February, Lancashire Constabulary confirmed publicly that the body found in the river was indeed that of Bulley. The cause of death has not yet been established. They read an impact statement from Bulley's family in which they condemned the actions of Sky News and ITV News for making contact directly with them when they expressly asked for privacy, describing the conduct of media outlets as "shameful". The family also criticised people accusing Bulley's partner of being involved in her disappearance. Baroness Wheatcroft, former editor of the Sunday Telegraph, also criticised the media for invading the family's privacy, calling it a "feeding frenzy". #crimetiktokers #crimetiktoker #crimetiktok #crime #crimejunkie #crimetoks #truecrimetiktok #nicolabulley - @crimeatyourfingertips
