Nicola Bulley’s family insist cops ‘know the truth’ behind her disappearance in ‘transparent’ police probe
NICOLA Bulley's family have insisted the cops "know the truth" behind her disappearance.
The dog-walker, 45, vanished after dropping her children off at school in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, on Friday January 27.
Despite extensive searches there has been no trace of the mum-of-two, leaving her family in agony.
Nicola's family today broke their silence and issued a statement through police - begging for the public to "focus on finding her".
In the family statement, they said: "The police know the truth about Nikki and now the public need to focus on finding her."
The family explained: "Due to the peri menopause Nikki suffered with significant side effects such as brain fog, restless sleep and was taking HRT to help but this was giving her intense headaches which caused Nikki to stop taking the HRT thinking that may have helped her but only ended up causing this crisis."
