Specialist divers searching the river near where missing mum's Nicola Bulley 's body was found are looking for "a specific artefact", a forensic pathologist has claimed. The mortgage adviser, 45, was last seen on January 27 walking her dog Willow near the river in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire.
Her disappearance sparked a massive search which saw police, firefighters, mountain rescue, underwater teams and the local community comb through a massive area from the river to the coastline. Tragically, her body was found on February 19, just over a mile from where she went missing.
The specialist officers were seen in the area on April 4 less than a mile from where she was last seen. Dr Richard Shepherd, a forensic pathologist who worked on high-profile cases such as Stephen Lawrence and was called as an expert for Harold Shipman's trial, told the Mirror he thinks there is an item missing that police are looking for.
