22.02.2023 - 16:19 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Nicola Bulley was identified by dental records after being discovered on Sunday, the opening of her inquest at Lancashire Coroner's Court has heard.
The mum-of-two was identified on Monday as the body recovered from the River Wyre on Sunday February 19, more than three weeks after she went missing. Ms Bulley had last been seen walking family dog Willow alongside the river in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, at around 9.10am on January 27.
Lancashire Live reports that her family was aware of proceedings beginning on Wednesday, but chose not to attend. Senior coroner Dr James Adeley said: "The family have been informed of the date and place and have chosen not to attend and for reasons I can quite understand."
Opening an inquest into the death of the mortgage advisor, Dr Adeley said he had contacted consultant maxillofacial surgeon Ian Edwards to ask him to compare dental records obtained by police from the Great Eccleston dental surgery. He said: "He examined the body that was located in the River Wyre near Rawcliffe Road in St Michael's on Wyre at 2.15pm on February 20."
Dr Adeley said the surgeon found restorative work carried out was identical. He said: "I am satisfied on the balance of probabilities, and more, that positive identification has been made."
Ms Bulley's disappearance sparked nationwide interest, with intensive police searches conducted along the Wyre and further out to Morecambe Bay, at the edge of the Irish Sea. Ms Bulley's body was found around a mile from where she disappeared, in scrub at the edge of the waterway.
Two walkers had called the police at around 11.35am on Sunday after spotting the body in the water. Police closed off roads to allow divers and crime scene investigation officers to attend and
