garstang road or blackpool road, is this also known ? we saw community members, known?e saw community members, family members and close friends who are out here holding posters asking people if they do have any dashcam footage. please do get in touch. and of course, as we heard on sunday morning, some people saw a body on the body, got in touch with the police. and it was yesterday afternoon , and it was yesterday afternoon, just after 530, that the police held a press conference formally identifying nicola bulley as that body, which was found here in lancashire in the river wyre. and as you mentioned in your opening introduction, there was some criticism of the press . but some criticism of the press. but of course many people who have been coming here during that penod been coming here during that period of time, particularly on the weekends when people were away from work, that people would come from all corners of the uk to come and support a community centre just a few yards behind me. people coming to receive maps to go on a trail just to see if they could see any

they say this road in particular, which is known as garstang road or blackpool road, is a particularlyea as many cars pass through here and may have some crucial evidence on dash cam footage. according to a forensic specialist at this time of the year, a body will normally resurface between 6 to 8 days as the body decomposes, it floats and the body comes to the surface. it is normally found by dog walkers. if they're not found. and that's what i'm surprised about. and it's just my they're doing a great job of searching. and that's the police divers . but searching. and that's the police divers. but i'm just searching. and that's the police divers . but i'm just wondering divers. but i'm just wondering why i mean, we've offered our equipment up there and our expertise, if required , to the expertise, if required, to the family and if they want it, you know, we could search this river in a die in sight. nicholas there or she's not. it's as simple as that. while the search continues here, police are also searching beyond the village as they look for vital information , which they say will

well let's see if we can talk to the editor of the lancashire post and blackpool gazette. nicola adam, who joins us now. nicola good morning to you. you were saying it's still a complete mystery. what do we know at this stage .7 what do we know at this stage? well, police are very much at pains to say that they're not looking for any third party involved and they have reiterated this yesterday . reiterated this yesterday. they've not made anybody aware of any particular evidence that thatis of any particular evidence that that is let them down that road. certainly the family interviews seem to be that she's just been that has vanished and they've absolutely no idea. but they are very much still treating this as a missing person enquiry at the moment . they're not looking for moment. they're not looking for a third party that suggests that they've ruled out the possibility of her being snatched . that seems to be the snatched. that seems to be the case and they have said that right from the start. and at first we thought perhaps they would just trying to prevent a panic in

now let's talk to the editor of the lancashire post in blackpool gazette, nicola adams.ood morning, nicola. this must be an absolutely devastating decision as far as the family is concerned , but the police are concerned, but the police are saying they are a assuming that she has drowned. what actual evidence that they got of this ? evidence that they got of this? i think that the that kind of as they call it, they're working hypothesis is based on the fact that they have checked everything and in the area around the river where she could possibly have gone in terms of every inch of the area has been searched, but also any exits out of the area , including cctv . all of the area, including cctv. all of the area, including cctv. all of that has been checked and there's been a general enquiry and people asking for that , that and people asking for that, that kind of thing in cases anyway , kind of thing in cases anyway, they could possibly have missed her leaving. so i think a lot of it is based on that. there's no way she could have left the area . and this obviously was
