A dogwalker who found missing Nicola Bulley's phone came forward today and revealed how he thought, 'this is not right'.
The man, who said he was called Ron, went public this morning three weeks after the mortgage adviser vanished in St Michael's on Wyre.
In an extraordinary coincidence he appeared on television walking his dog as Sky News recreated 45-year-old Ms Bulley's own walk.
He confirmed he had given a full statement to the police after finding Ms Bulley's phone on the bench at around 9.30am on January 27.
This afternoon, Nicola's father Ernie said 'every day is a struggle' and said the anguished family 'just need a breakthrough to give us some hope.'
He said: 'Each day something new comes out doesn't it.'
He didn't know Ms Bulley but recognised her dog Willow.
'I'd seen both owners of Willow walking this dog in the past, but while I knew their faces I didn't know their names,' he said.
Ron added that when he first found the phone he thought 'somebody had gone to toilet'.
He added: 'I got to about this red brick building here and I thought 'this is not right'.
'Then

wallpaper on the phone we found out who the couple were, and the school
was contacted and Paul arrived.'...<<<Read More>>>...
