45-year-old Nicola Bulley has not been seen since the 27th of January, she disappeared while walking her dog in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire. Police worked off the theory that she had slipped into a river and been swept away – but Nicola has not been found despite extensive searches. That has sent social media into a frenzy of speculation, rumour, and conspiracy. That led the police to inform the public that Nicola was a vulnerable person and had an alcohol problem, a highly unusual and controversial move.  Ciarán Dunbar is joined but the editor of the Lancashire Post & Blackpool Gazette, Nicola Adam.
