Nicola Bulley ghouls ALREADY publishing twisted true-crime books about mum's tragic death as her family mourns | The Sun
SICK Nicola Bulley ghouls are already cashing in on the mum’s tragic death by publishing twisted true-crime books about her case.
The mum-of-two, 45, was discovered on the banks of the River Wyre on Sunday – 23 days after she vanished.
And less than a week later books written on the search and her death are already being advertised online.
Three apparently self-published e-books have been published claiming to tell the ‘untold truth’ about what happened to Nicola.
The Sun has chosen not to name the books out of sympathy with Nicola's grieving family.
Leader of Wyre Council, Cllr Michael Vincent, branded the publishing profiteering as "nothing short of disgusting", saying whoever wrote the books were "capitalising on her death".

He said: "This is nothing short of disgusting, that someone is seeking to capitalise on her sad death and the searches that were carried out, in an attempt to make money from it all.
"I would call on every right minded person not to enable this by downloading any of them and validating this sort of behaviour.
"Whatever people do, please do not buy it, don’t download it."
It comes after Nicola’s friends have praised well-wishers for raising over £30,000 for her family.

On Tuesday, Andy Lawson – a heartbroken work colleague of Nicola's partner of 12 years Paul Ansell, 44 – launched a GoFundMe page hoping to raise at least £5,000 for the couple's daughters, aged six and nine.
But soon they raised that target to £25,000 and now the fund has soared due to an outpouring of affection and sympathy for the tragic mortgage adviser's grief-stricken family.
Andy and the other organisers later wrote: "We are so grateful for all of the support the fundraiser has received thus far. Nikki was the most amazing person and has clearly impacted so many people.
"We are increasing the goal so that we can help the girls and Paul as much as possible. Thank you all again."
The police's handling of the disappearance of Nicola is to be the subject of an independent review, Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner said earlier this week.
Andrew Snowden has commissioned the College of Policing to review the case including the force's release of personal information about Ms Bulley.
Lancashire Police had "done their utmost" but "the narrative has been lost at times", he said. The force said it welcomed the review and was "keen to take the opportunity to learn".
Police were criticised for revealing private health details, such as that she had been struggling with the menopause and alcohol issues.
The review will focus on the investigation and search, communication and public engagement, and the releasing of personal information.
It comes after the police watchdog confirmed it has launched an investigation into a police visit to Ms Bulley's home weeks before her disappearance.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct said it was investigating a visit to Ms Bulley's home on 10 January when officers were called to a "concern for welfare report" and health professionals also attended.
Lancashire Police said no arrests were made.
The full inquest into Ms Bulley’s death is likely to take place in June, when a coroner will seek to determine how she died.

An inquest opening at Preston Coroner’s Court on Wednesday this week was told maxillofacial surgeon Andrew Ian Edwards had examined her dental records, which had been obtained by police from her dental surgery.
Senior coroner Dr James Adeley said remaining evidence gathered by police and the post-mortem examination required "further evaluation."
