Police searching for missing mum Nicola Bulley are reportedly attempting to track down a 'tatty looking red van' parked near where she disappeared.
Nicola went missing while walking her dog in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, on 27 January.
The mum-of-two's phone was found on a bench by the waterside. She had recently connected to a work call before getting disconnected, reports the Mirror.
Her dog Willow was later found running loose.
Police launched an extensive search of the area and said their "main working hypothesis" was that she fell in a river but a body has not yet been found.
It's now been reported that a concerned resident spotted a suspicious-looking vehicle, believed to be a Renault, outside a barn in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, on the same she went missing.
The witness contacted the police to report a suspicious "red van" parked in the village close to where Bulley went missing.
The 55-year-old witness, who had not been named, told the Times they saw the "tatty red van in Hall Lane outside a barn".
“I didn’t think anything at the time, but when I saw Nicola had gone missing, I called 101 and spoke to an operator.
“I contacted the police again on Friday and spoke to a police officer. It could have been a Renault van."
The St Michaels on Wyre resident said the vehicle was the "sort of van you can live in".
Ms Bulley had dropped her two daughters, aged six and nine, off at school and then gone on her usual dog walk alongside the river before she disappeared.
The search operation to find Nicola has now moved to the sea, with police seen on Thursday combing Morecambe Bay.
Two boats with specialist police teams have been seen in the sea, moving upstream searching either side of the River Wyre.
