Since then there has been no trace of the mum-of-two, leaving her family in agony.
Cops this week revealed their "main working hypothesis" was that Nicola had "sadly fallen" into the icy River Wyre.
And last night local residents spotted more than 10 emergency vehicles on the Shard Bridge - five miles from where she vanished.
Cops confirmed they were called at 5.51pm on Monday to the area in relation to the search for the missing mum.

However, Cops say nothing has been found.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police told The Sun: "The search of the sand and surrounding area near to Shard Bridge by Lancashire Police and the Coastguard proved negative."
It comes after Specialist Group International (SGI) searched the water yesterday.
However, Peter Faulding, founder of SGI, has said their searches were in vain - after nothing was discovered.
SGI had offered their services for free in a bid to give Nicola's family answers and are using a helicopter to search for her.
They are also using a "top of the market" 18,000khz side scan sonar to search the river.
Lancashire Police said previously their “main working hypothesis” is that Nicola had “sadly fallen in the river”.
Supt Sally Riley claimed there may have been an “issue” with dog Willow that led Nicola to the edge of the water.
Police believed the mum could have walked to the river to retrieve the dog’s tennis ball when she potentially fell in.
