Today, Lancashire Police announced that a body has been found in the River Wyre close to where Nicola Bulley, 45, was last seen three weeks ago.
Bulley, a mother from the UK, was reported missing on Jan. 27 while walking her dog along the River Wyre in the northern English village of St. Michael’s on Wyre. Since then, police have been searching for her and the community has been in shock.
The body has yet to be formally identified, but Bulley’s family has been informed of the discovery. Home Secretary Suella Braverman wrote on Twitter that she was “deeply saddened” by the news.
The search for Bulley has generated a lot of attention in the small community. Some locals launched nighttime patrols, challenging strangers who were rattling their gates and prowling through their front yards. Social media speculation also spurred unofficial searches and attracted amateur sleuths.
The police have not released any further information about the body or the investigation. They are asking anyone with information to come forward.
