Nineteen days after she vanished during a riverside dog walk, police investigating the disappearance of Nicola Bulley have revealed the 45-year-old suffered from ‘significant issues with alcohol brought on by her ongoing struggles with the menopause’.

In an earlier press conference, officers said Ms Bulley had been classed as a ‘high risk individual’ since the beginning of the search.
