Nicola Bulley: 'Abandoned' house near where missing mum vanished during dog walk searched by rescuers | The Sun
POLICE have reportedly scoured an abandoned house as part of the search for missing mum Nicola Bulley.
The 45-year-old's phone was found opposite of the abandoned country house, police say.
Kev Camplin of Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue told The Mirror: "The abandoned house is right opposite the bench on the other side of the river, over a 10ft garden wall. It’s quite posh.
"We didn’t go into the house, as a volunteer search and rescue team we don’t actually go into buildings. We might go into a barn or something. We leave that to the police."
"While the team was searching the grounds, the owner was there for some reason, and we asked him to go in and he had a quick look around and she wasn’t there."
The mum vanished while walking her dog on Friday in St. Michael's on Wyre, and police have been searching for the mum ever since.
