NICOLA BULLEY: SPECIALIST RESCUE TEAM PULLS OUT OF SEARCH FOR MISSING MOTHER

A specialist rescue team helping with the search for Nicola Bulley will pull out of the investigation on Wednesday.

Team leader Peter Faulding said Ms Bulley’s body is "categorically not" in the stretch of river "thoroughly" searched by his team of divers and sonar equipment.

"At the end of the day, we'll go," Mr Faulding told reporters, adding that his team had just three hours of sleep last night.

In a separate interview, he suggested Ms Bulley's disappearance is "just a baffling case."
