COPS have revealed the truth behind missing mum Nicola Bulley’s phone after it was found logged into a work call on a park bench.
The mum-of-two disappeared while walking her dog Willow along the River Wyre in St Michaels, Lancashire, on January 27.
Since then there has been no trace of the mum-of-two, leaving her family in agony despite extensive searches.
However cops today gave detail into their colossal investigation.
The force held a press conference giving further updates into the mum-of-two's disappearance.
And Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith gave an insight into why Nicola’s phone was left on a bench – and not her pocket.

Nicola’s pet springer spaniel Willow was also found – but there was no trace still of the mum-of-two.
Lancashire Police said previously their “main working hypothesis” is that Nicola had “sadly fallen in the river”.
But the force has been criticised for focusing so heavily on the theory by experts and Nicola's friends and family.
Her partner Paul Ansell believes "something happened" on the day she disappeared as people do not just "vanish into thin air".
Nicola has been described as white, 5ft 3ins tall with light-brown shoulder-length hair.
She was last seen wearing an ankle-length black quilted gilet jacket with a black Engelbert Strauss waist-length coat underneath and black tight-fitting jeans.
She had long green walking socks tucked into her jeans, ankle-length green Next wellies, a necklace and a pale blue Fitbit on.
Nicola has an Essex accent and links to the Thornton-Cleveleys area near Blackpool.
