“Tragic” missing mother-of-two Nicola Bulley fell into a river while walking her dog, police believe.

Ms Bulley, 45, might have been trying to deal with an “issue” with her springer spaniel Willow, causing her to go to the edge of the River Wyre and into the water, the officer in charge of the missing person investigation said.
