What we know so far about the disappearance of Nicola Bulley

The 45-year-old was last seen on a towpath by the River Wyre in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire on the morning of Friday 27 January.

Police have since confirmed the mum-of-two was "high risk" due to "ongoing issues with the menopause that caused alcohol issues to resurface".

Her family say this private information about her vulnerabilities was released because of people threatening to "sell stories about her".
