Nicola Bulley: Are armchair detectives hindering the case?
Police investigating the disappearance of Nicola Bulley have issued a dispersal order around St Michael’s on Wyre after reports of amateur investigators travelling to the Lancashire village.
Her family have said the influx of people trying to help the investigation is hindering police efforts.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky correspondent Katerina Vittozzi who has spoken to armchair sleuths who have descended on Ms Bulley’s village.
Niall also talks to Martyn Underhill, one of the detectives involved in the search for schoolgirl Sarah Payne in 2000, about how police manage the public desire to help in high-profile cases.
Plus, criminal psychologist Amanda Vicary on why some people want to become amateur detectives.
