She was found dead in February, with an inquest determining that her death was due to accidental drowning.<\/p>\n
The synopsis for the documentary says: \u201cExploring the media coverage that ensued and the amateur internet sleuths that conducted their own investigations, the film examines their effects on the official police investigation and Nicola\u2019s family.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t an easy decision.<\/p>\n \u201cNikki\u2019s face and name quickly became very recognisable, but there is so much to share about Nikki the person.<\/p>\n \u201cOur sole aim is to provide the definitive record on Nikki to ensure she has the legacy that she deserves. Many people have aired their views about her disappearance and her untimely and tragic death, only we can speak about her as a mummy, partner, daughter and sister.<\/p> \u201cIn addition, if our experience of being in the eye of a media storm makes people think twice about how they act and what they say online, then we will have achieved some further good.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019d also like to express our sincere thanks to everyone at Rogan Productions who have treated us with great care, respect and compassion throughout the process of making this documentary.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was emotionally draining reliving some of our experiences, but we wanted to do this for Nikki.<\/p>\n \u201cNikki\u2019s loss is felt by us all, every day. We have drawn a huge amount of comfort from the kindness of so many people, and we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has taken the time to contact us.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have so appreciated the many kind words and gestures during the worst times of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n The Disappearance of Nicola Bulley: the Inside Story<\/b> will air on BBC One and iPlayer later this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Documentaries<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.\u00a0<\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0The Radio Times Podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n The one-hour documentary will feature exclusive interviews with Bulley’s family and those closest to the case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":53266,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bbc-announces-nicola-bulley-documentary-telling-story-of-her-disappearance.jpg",810,540,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bbc-announces-nicola-bulley-documentary-telling-story-of-her-disappearance-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bbc-announces-nicola-bulley-documentary-telling-story-of-her-disappearance-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bbc-announces-nicola-bulley-documentary-telling-story-of-her-disappearance-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bbc-announces-nicola-bulley-documentary-telling-story-of-her-disappearance.jpg",800,533,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bbc-announces-nicola-bulley-documentary-telling-story-of-her-disappearance.jpg",810,540,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/bbc-announces-nicola-bulley-documentary-telling-story-of-her-disappearance.jpg",810,540,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"The one-hour documentary will feature exclusive interviews with Bulley's family and those closest to the case.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/53265"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
