Two walkers found body in the River Wyre amid 24-day search

Fresh updates are to be issued imminently on the Nicola Bulley investigation. 

Lancashire Constabulary is holding a press conference on Monday afternoon after spending 24 days searching for the missing mother-of-two. 

It comes hours after a body was found on Sunday in the River Wyre, less than a mile from where Ms Bulley, 45, vanished on Jan 27 while walking her dog on a riverside footpath just outside the tiny village of St Michael's on Wyre. 

The body has not yet been formally identified and work to do so is ongoing, but "Nicola’s family have been informed of developments", the force said in a statement on Sunday.

The discovery was made after a tip-off from two walkers at 11.36am who spotted a body in the river, prompting police to send reinforcements who then "sadly recovered a body".

Questions are mounting over why extensive underwater searches for three weeks involving divers, drones, dogs, helicopters and riverbank work failed to find anything.

How two dogwalkers found a body in river after three-week police search

The press conference is set to get underway shortly and, in a notable change to previous briefings, it is being held at Lancashire Constabulary's headquarters. All previous meetings have been held in the local village hall in St Michael's on Wyre.

The briefing comes after two dogwalkers discovered a body in the Wyre just half a mile from where Ms Bulley was last seen.
