Nicola Bulley friend: 'No evidence' she fell in river and 'definitely no tennis ball' on dog walk

A friend of Nicola Bulley has told Sky News there is "no factual evidence" that the mum-of-two fell into the river and revealed she no longer took a tennis ball on dog walks.

At an update on Friday, police said it was possible Nicola went into the river while trying to retrieve a tennis ball.

But friend, Emma White, told Sky's Jonathan Samuels "there was definitely no ball", revealing Nicola stopping taking it with her on dog walks a year ago.

She said: "when we are talking about a life we can't base it on a hypothesis, we need factual evidence."
