Their plea came after Lancashire Police was criticised for disclosing that the mother-of-two suffered “some significant issues with alcohol” in the past, which had resurfaced over recent months. Photo: National World
Nearly 40 detectives have sifted through hundreds of hours of CCTV, dashcam footage and tip-offs from the public, but detectives say there is "no evidence to indicate a criminal aspect or third-party involvement". Photo: Peter Byrne/ PA
