The underwater search expert drafted in to help find missing mum Nicola Bulley has said a body found was discovered in 'reeds at the side of the river which was not part of our remit'.
Peter Faulding, the head of Specialist Group International (SGI), released a detailed statement on Monday morning, almost 24 hours after a body was found in the River Wyre in the Lancashire village of St Michael's on Wyre on Sunday.
Ms Bulley, 45, disappeared while walking her springer spaniel Willow in the village of St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, after she dropped her two daughters - aged six and nine - off at school on January 27.
Police in Lancashire confirmed on Sunday that a formal identification has yet to be made, but said Ms Bulley's family had been informed of the development.
