Clothing clues

Police list items for public to look out for

Superintendent Sally Riley, of Lancashire Police, yesterday gave a list of clothing and accessories police are searching for in connection with missing motherof-two Nicola Bulley.

She told a press conference: “I do have an update on the clothing that Nicola was last seen wearing, and this is something that the public who live in the area, or who walk their dogs on the river path near to St Michael’s or downstream of St Michael’s towards Morecambe Bay, can look out for.

“They are: an ankle-length black quilted gilet jacket; a black Engelbert Strauss waist-length coat, which was worn underneath the gilet; tight-fitting black jeans; long green walking socks tucked into her jeans; ankle-length green Next wellies; a necklace and a pale blue Fitbit.

“It’s really important that the public pay heed to those very specific clothing descriptions please, because factual sightings of those items would be very useful to us.”

She added: “I would also appeal to the public to keep themselves safe in this inquiry. People going out at night in the darkness could fall into the river and face other hazards.

“Likewise, if they go out in boats on the river, please only do so if you’ve got experience in that.”
