Three weeks after Nicola Bulley vanished along the banks of the River Wyre, a body was recovered from those same waters near St. Michael's on Wyre in Lancashire — a discovery that brought not resolution, but a new and heavier silence. Dog walkers made the grim find on Sunday morning, less than a mile from where the 45-year-old mother of two was last seen on January 27. Formal identification remains pending, and in the space between discovery and certainty, a family waits — suspended between hope and grief.
