The women still missing as police continue search for Nicola Bulley

Police continue to search for missing mother-of-two Nicola Bulley, whose disappearance has left forensic experts “baffled”.

The 45-year-old disappeared while on her regular dog walk in the quiet village of St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire on the morning of 27 January.

Dropping her children off at school, she took her spaniel Willow for a stroll by the river and was sighted at around 9am by a witness but despite an extensive search, her disappearance remains a mystery.

Peter Faulding, the chief executive of Specialist Group International (SGI) said he “can’t get [his] head around” the fact that the mother-of-two has not yet been found.

As the search for Ms Bulley continues, we take a look at the cases of other women who remain missing.
