lancashire police said all along they believed nicola had fallen into the water, but the force has been criticised for its response, and especially for its decision to release personal details about the mother of two. when the cameras have left this village, and the posters and ribbons have been taken down, the police and the media will have some soul searching to do, including whether the relationship between them had any influence on the way the case itself was handled. nicola s disappearance has had mass coverage. the media converged on her small village, and her family directly criticised some organisations. we tried last night to take in what we had been told in the day, only to have sky news and itv making contact with us directly, when we expressly asked for privacy. it is shameful they have acted in this way. our girls will get the support they need from the people who love them the most.
