New images from the day 45-year-old mum Nicola Bulley went missing have been released by her friends.

New images show Bulley appearing to open a car boot while wearing a big coat and boots.

They were released by friend Emma White, but it is not clear where the images were taken.

The current Lancashire Police theory remains that Nicola had fallen into the river.



She appears to be taking something from her car boot before going missing

The official police description on the day she went missing states that she was last seen wearing a long, ankle length black quilted gilet.

She had a black Vector coat underneath which had long sleeves and came to her waist.

She was wearing tight black jeans and had long green walking socks tucked into her jeans, and was wearing ankle length green wellington boots from Next.

On Friday, Superintendent Sally Riley said: “It’s now a week since Nicola went missing and her disappearance has understandably caused a huge amount of concern and upset in the local community, as well as being an absolutely awful time for her family. As a mum I can’t begin to imagine the suffering they are going through.



The items she is wearing matched the police description

“We are supporting them as best we can and keeping them updated on our efforts to try and find Nicola.

“We have done a huge amount of work both in terms of searches of the area as well as extensive enquiries which have been going on behind the scenes and based on that work we are as sure as we can be that Nicola has not left the area where she was last seen and that very sadly for some reason she has fallen into the water.



The search for the missing mum continues

“There is absolutely nothing to suggest from all the extensive enquiries we have made that anything untoward has happened to her or that there is any third-party involvement in her disappearance.

“This remains a missing person enquiry and we will continue to carry out searches and to do everything we can to find Nicola and provide her family and the community with the answers they desperately need.

“Officers will be in and around the village and anyone with information or concerns should feel free to approach us.”

The search and investigation continues.
