“All the family are clearly distraught.”
He added he was “glad” his team haven’t found her.
Mr Faulding is the founder of private forensic searchers Specialist Group International (SGI) from Surrey.
The team were drafted in on Monday to search the river bed with Sonar but found no trace of the 45-year-old.
They had been using £55,000 equipment in their scour on the River Wyre, near St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire.
It comes as distraught partner Paul Ansell visited the scene this morning.
He spent 10-minutes walking the river bank near the bench where Ms Bulley’s phone was found, still connected to a work Teams call.

Nicola, a mortgage adviser from nearby Inskip, was last seen walking her dog at around 9.15am on January 27.
She had dropped off her daughters, aged six and nine, at school before heading to the towpath near the River Wyre.
Monday’s search for Nicola focused downstream on the tidal area of the River Wyre but Tuesday’s search took place further upstream.
It included and went beyond the area where Nicola’s belongings were found on a bench near Garstang Road, in St Michael’s on Wyre.
It is a non-tidal area of the river.
Other dive teams started to look further upriver towards Fleetwood and the Irish Sea on Tuesday.
Police still believe the mum “sadly fell” in the river.
