FAQ’s and info - please read
Nicola parked at school, dropped her daughters off, and started the walk from there as usual.
Doorbell footage has been shared of her leaving home that morning.
Nicola joined a Teams call but was on mute with her camera off, which was standard for that call. Unfortunately this meant that the other participants did not see or hear anything.
The call ended at 0930 but Nicola did not disconnect from the call.
The photo of the river bank shows the drop down to the water. The police diver had to be helped out by 2 people.
Nicola’s phone, along with her dog Willow’s harness and lead, were found on or near the bench shown in top left of the photo.
There was just 23 minutes between the last sighting (0910) and the phone, harness and lead being found (0933); and just 13 minutes between the phone being at the bench (0920) and being found.
Willow was dry when found so hadn’t been in the water - this does not mean that she did or didn’t see Nicola in the water. It simply means that the dog did not go in.
Willow wasn’t wearing her harness and that was normal on a walk, it was usually removed along with the lead for that part of the walk.
They didn’t usually take a ball but it’s not certain that they didn’t on this day.
Willow was found agitated, running between the bench and gate to the section of the field by the river. This is a small area.
Nicola’s partner was at home, and has never been named as a suspect - this has always been a missing person enquiry.
Nicola’s partner has a business which is shown on Companies House as ‘compulsory strike off’ just after Nicola’s disappearance. This does not in any way suggest financial difficulties. It purely means the company was already in the process of being closed.
He is director of another company which is still trading, and he works in a skilled industry.

A helicopter with thermal imaging was deployed the day Nicola went missing, to search above the river.
Lancs Police are using the caravan park as their base. All empty caravans have been searched, as have local empty properties along and near to the riverbank.
Nicola’s family are keeping all possibilities open in the hope of Nicola’s safe return, which is absolutely understandable.
SGI began to assist the search efforts on Monday, with Peter Faulding giving ever-changing updates on when he expects to be able to confirm whether Nicola is or is not in the river. Unfortunately his comments are mostly contradictory and unhelpful.
A GoFundMe page was set up on Monday by a family friend with a target of £100,000. This was quickly changed after social media unrest to £50,000, then £5,000. Shortly after, the page was closed before it raised even £500, and the friend posted on Facebook to state that the family didn’t initially know she was doing it, and she was just trying to help.
Lancs Police gave an update via press conference on Tuesday, confirming that they are still focussing huge resource on the search effort and asking the general public to avoid doing anything to make this any more difficult.
The police have continuously stated that the most likely situation is that Nicola has sadly somehow entered the water, but they remain open to all possibilities and fully investigate all information they receive. There are 40 detectives working on the case.
2 exits from the walking route are not covered by CCTV - the caravan park (camera not working) and the A road. Police are working to contact all drivers to obtain dashcam footage where possible on the A road but there were around 700 drivers to contact.
On Wednesday evening just hours after Lancashire Police asked people not to go searching properties, a live TikTok video was streamed of a user called DanDuffy trying to search the house commonly called 'the abandoned house' which is in fact being renovated.
Update 11th Feb
On the 10th of February, channel 5 aired a hour and 15 minute long special about her disappearance where they spoke at length to her partner Paul. Paul came across as very shell shocked and there are multiple theories over why such as Botox, sedatives, trauma etc. but it’s important to point out that he is not a suspect. Paul and Nicola’s friend Emma are, and have apparently always been “100% convinced” that Nicola is not in the river.
The search now continues in the river (towards Morecambe Bay) but also expands into areas around the river that are not covered by CCTV.
There is still no evidence of, well, anything.
