Nicola Bulley's Family Tells Story in BBC Documentary

Nicola Bulley's family is participating in an upcoming BBC documentary titled 'The Search For Nicola Bulley' to provide their perspective on her tragic disappearance and the ensuing media frenzy. After Bulley went missing on January 27, 2023, and her body was found weeks later, the family faced intense public scrutiny and harmful speculation from amateur internet sleuths. They described their decision to partake in the documentary as 'emotionally draining,' but necessary to ensure Nicola's legacy is honored. The documentary aims to explore the impact of social media on the case and allows the family to share their story in an unfiltered manner. Director Rachel Lob-levyt emphasized the emotional challenges the family faced during the filming process, particularly for Bulley's partner, Paul Ansell, who experienced significant public scrutiny. The family's statement highlights their desire to portray Nicola not just as a victim but as a beloved mother, partner, and daughter.
