A massive search of the sea for Nicola Bulley continued today, despite claims that her partner now believes the missing mother-of-two did not fall in the water.

Lancashire Police's working hypothesis has long been that Ms Bulley ended up in the water after she mysteriously vanished from St Michael's on Wyre on January 27.

Extensive searches have been carried out on the river, EvdeN Eve nAKLiyat with a private diving team also called upon to use specialist equipment, but no trace of the mother has been found.

Today, search and rescue teams were back on the water, in Knott End-on-Sea, on the southern side of Morecambe Bay, as they stepped up efforts to try and find her.

It came as Peter Faulding, who led the private diving team, claimed today that Ms Bulley's partner, Paul Ansell, is growing less convinced by the police's theory after being surprised by the minimal depth of the water in the river.
