Police yesterday, has released new CCTV of her on the day she disappeared.
The pictures show Ms Bulley wearing a long dark coat – believed to be black – and with her dog. Her blonde hair is pulled back in a ponytail.
The images came from Ms Bulley’s doorbell camera showing her on the day she disappeared.
Lancashire Constabulary said it had carried out searches along the river ‘all the way to the sea’ using specialist search teams, sonar, search dogs, drones and helicopters.
The force said it had also searched the derelict house on the other side of the river as well as any empty caravans in the vicinity.
Officers new move will now be sending letters to drivers who they believe were travelling down Garstang Road, near to the river, on the morning Ms Bulley disappeared in the hope of obtaining new dashcam footage.
‘We can say with confidence that by reviewing CCTV, Nicola has not left the field during the key times via Rowanwater, either through the site itself or via the piece of land at the side,’ a force spokesperson said.
‘Our inquiries now focus on the river path which leads from the fields back to Garstang Road – for that we need drivers and cyclists who travelled that way on the morning of 27 January to make contact.
‘If you receive one of these letters and have dashcam footage, we would urge you to make contact so that a member of the enquiry team can make contact and review your footage to establish whether it assists.’
Independent group Specialist Group International has joined the search of the River Wyre, where police believe she fell in.
On Monday, the dive team joined the search after the company originally offered its help on social media.
The company’s £55,000 side-scan sonar has a high frequency of 1,800 kilohertz.
‘We’ve got a very high hit rate,’ SGI’s chief executive, Peter Faulding, said.
‘Police also have a side-scan sonar but “our sonar is probably a bit more superior”, he said, adding: ‘I’m not sure what frequency they will be using.’
On Monday night, he said his team had searched “three or four miles” of river but had not found anything.
‘It’s a negative search, no signs of Nicola,’ he said.
His team will look through another stretch of river ‘towards where Nicola went originally missing’ on Tuesday.
Mr Faulding said it was a ‘particularly long stretch of river’ for police to search ‘because they’re doubling up as a dive team as well’.
‘It is a huge task for the police,’ he said.
Mr Faudling said he had worked on hundreds of these cases, and we always, generally find people within the hour in lakes etc.
‘We’re just bringing an extra expertise.’
In a new statement released through Lancashire Police yesterday, Nicola’s partner Paul Ansell said everyone is desperate to know what happened to her.
‘It’s been ten days now since Nicola went missing and I have two little girls who miss their mummy desperately and who need her back.
‘This has been such a tough time for the girls especially but also for me and all of Nicola’s family and friends, as well as the wider community and I want to thank them for their love and support.
‘We have to find her safe and well. I can’t put those girls to bed again tonight with no answers.’
Mr Ansell as well praised SGI for joining the search, adding: ‘We are really grateful to Peter and his team from SGI for coming up and helping support the work of Lancashire Police as they continue their investigation.
‘If anyone has any information which could help find Nicola, I urge them to get in touch with the police and help us provide the answers we all so badly need.’
Officers’ working hypothesis is that the 45-year-old fell into the River Wyre near to the village of St Michael’s on Wyre. But her family and friends have claimed there is no evidence whatsoever behind this.
