It was also revealed officers had been called to the family’s home after “a report of concern for welfare” on January 10.
These factors, identified by her partner Paul Ansell, meant she was classified as a high risk missing person with several “vulnerabilities”.
An IOPC spokesperson today said: “Following information that was made public by Lancashire Constabulary yesterday, we have made contact with the force to determine if a referral to the IOPC may be required.”
