Body found in river confirmed as that of missing UK mum Nicola Bulley – BBC News

A body found in a Lancashire river on Sunday was that of missing Nicola Bulley, police have said. 

The mother-of-two, 45, disappeared during a riverside dog walk in St Michael’s on Wyre, England more than three weeks ago, sparking a major search operation. 

Her body was discovered about one mile (1.6km) away from where she was last seen on the morning of 27 January.

In a statement, Ms Bulley’s family paid tribute to “the one who made our lives so special”. 

“We will never be able to comprehend what Nikki had gone through in her last moments and that will never leave us,” the family said.
