Haunting footage shows Nicola Bulley playing in snow with kids before she vanished as partner Paul Ansell begs for help
HAUNTING footage has showed Nicola Bulley playing in the snow with her daughters before she vanished.
The clips were revealed ahead of her partner Paul Ansell‘s first sit-down interview, which will hit screens at 9pm.
Paul sat down with Channel 5’s Dan Walker for an exclusive interview this morning, telling him he will “never give up” on finding Nicola.
A preview of the sit-down was played on the 5pm news, along with videos and photos of the mum.
One was a video of a family day out in the snow.
In the clip Nicola can be seen sitting on a toboggan, with a smile from ear to ear.
The mum then says “you ready?” to one of her daughter with a giggle, before cheering as she sets off down a snow-covered hill.
Willow, the dog she was walking when she disappeared, can be heard barking in the background.
The camera then pans to the pooch, who is playing with a tennis ball – a toy that has been a talking point since Nicola vanished.
Paul’s Channel 5 interview is set to air in a matter of hours.
Previews have shown the dad begging for efforts to find Nicola be ramped up.
The dad-of-two said: “My plea now, is personally, I want every house, every garage, every outbuilding, the land, scrutinised.
“I want it all searched, I want it all scrutinised, every piece of it.”
He also told Dan Walker that he will “never give up” on finding the 45-year-old.
Paul insisted that he is “100 per cent” sure that she did not fall into the river, as police believe.
The dad said: “People don’t just vanish into thin air, it’s absolutely impossible.
“So something has happened. Something has happened. Find out what it is. Find out what it is.
The latest in the search for Nicola Bulley includes…
- Nicola Bulley’s partner Paul Ansell revealed he thinks ‘something happened’ in TV interview
- Paul said he wanted every house and garden scrutinised as part of the search for the missing mum
- Nicola cops shared an update over the search for a red van reported by witnesses
- The missing mum’s kids are begging to find her
“There has to be a way to find out what happened, there has to be.
“You cannot, you cannot walk your dog down a river and just vanish into thin air. Something happened that day, something.”
He added that the family are going through “unprecedented hell” but vowed to “never let go”.
That’s because Nicola would “never give up on anybody”, Paul said.
When asked how he’s felt throughout the ordeal, Paul said: “Anger, loads of frustration, confusion, disbelief, surrealism, nothing feels real.
“It just doesn’t feel real… I feel like I’m in the Truman show. Like.. I honestly believe I’m going to wake up at any moment…how are we even in this? We are good people.”
However, he praised the police for their hard work and emphasised that he was not criticising the investigation.
The in-depth documentary, including the full interview, titled “Vanished: What happened to Nicola Bulley?” will air at 9pm..
