A mum-of-two remains at the centre of a massive search operation after vanishing five days ago. Dog walker Nicola Bulley disappeared after being spotted walking the family dog - named Willow - at the footpath of a river at 9.15am on Friday.
A member of the public later recognised the brown cocker spaniel on its own and phoned Lancashire Police to raise the alarm, the Mirror reports. Police yesterday revealed details of a potential witness who they believe could be key to their inquiries into Nicola's disappearance.
Specialist officers have been trawling a river in small boats and combing through the grass in recent days. As police continue their search, family and friends have said they remain hopeful Nicola will be found.
