Torment of wife of missing dad as trolls and 'social media detectives fuel speculation'

'Social media detectives' suggesting 'third party involvement' in the disappearance of a much-loved Salford dad are 'fuelling speculation', his devastated wife has said.

The emergence of 'social media detectives' echoes the recent case of tragic mum Nicola Bulley, who went missing in Lancashire before her body was recovered from the River Wyre weeks later. "It is very inappropriate and just fuels more speculation. I don't like the implications, but I have already had this with all the stuff on Facebook.

As the investigation nears its tenth week, police have sent divers into the Bridgewater Canal for a second time as in the hope of potential new leads in the search for the great-grandad. On the night Peter went missing, police said there were 'extremely low temperatures' and that a change in seasons can 'impact how the water behaves'.

Last week, efforts ramped up further after a voluntary underwater search team, Beneath the Surface, stepped in to offer help, using high frequency sonar technology to scour around three miles of the Bridgewater Canal. However, their search did not indicate a body was in the water. "Due to this, we have decided to carry out the search again. We will also have the drone back in the air, which is used to access areas that are harder to reach on foot. We are working closely with Peter's wife, Michelle, and the family and continue to provide ongoing support.
