Nicola Bulley was last seen on January 27, 2023.
At the time she was in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire, at around 9.15am.
The 5ft 3in mother-of-two was last spotted walking along a river path with her dog.
Her partner and children have been left in a state of limbo, not knowing the whereabouts of Ms Bulley.
Despite an extensive search by police over the weekend that followed, only her dog, a brown coloured spaniel was found.
At the time of her disappearance, Ms Bulley was wearing a long black gilet jacket with a hood and had her hair tied in a ponytail.
She had black jeans on with olive green ankle wellies.

Ms Bulley’s partner, Paul Ansell, is an engineer by trade.
The pair have been together for 12 years.

Recounting how he is having to tell the children why their mother is not there for “bedtime cuddles“, he was visibly distraught.
Mr Ansell had to break the news to her children that their mother was missing and has pleaded for answers.

A further blow was dealt when a promising lead evaporated when the individual, another person walking their dog at the time, had not seen Ms Bulley at all.
