Nicola Bulley diving expert issues lengthy statement to 'clarify questions' on the eve of her inquest
A diving expert who led a private search in the River Wyre for Nicola Bulley says he has not been asked to give evidence at her inquest next week.
However they did not find any trace of the mother-of-two in the section of the river they searched. He later faced criticism when the police recovered Nicola's body and SGI was removed from the National Crime Agency’s list of specialists.An inquest is due to open on Monday and, in a statement issued on Friday, Mr Faulding spoke out to "clarify questions from the press and public" and said neither he nor his organisation have had any contact with Lancashire Police or the coroner.
"SGI; headed up by Peter Faulding, are proven specialists with decades of relevant experience in underwater search. SGI operates an array of technologically advanced and cutting-edge equipment; our work is always carried out to the highest professional standards with honour and integrity and always in the best interest of the families involved putting their concerns first.
"Since leaving the scene at St Michaels on Wyre on 9th February 2023, SGI or Peter Faulding have had no contact with Lancashire Constabulary. Regarding this case, SGI or Peter Faulding have not been requested to provide copies of the relevant side scan sonar search data, search reports, photographs or notes made at the scene and from the time spent with members of the family, friends, and police officers from Lancashire Constabulary.
