Great post.
Interesting re: your view on the dog potentially drying out AND slipping harness.
IF she fell in water by the bench, the water is mill pond calm & locals have said IF she fell in that spot they feel that, and the intermittent shallowness of water, makes it feel unlikely body swept out to sea. A lack of water ‘force’. I was struck by someone saying in some spots they struggle with pooh sticks with kids.
It’s not as if she fell into the sea itself. It would be good to hear the opinion of expert divers on above and of course these experts will know better than anyone else & will be working closely with the police.
Add to this that the police acted very swiftly and have thrown every resource at a forensic type search.
Anomalies/ context:
- Ignoring the sister’s text on spa day received night before, especially as apparently very much out of character to do so.
- Securing a mortgage on home v close to disappearance date
- Police ruling out foul play v early on & telling family they felt v unlikely
- The out of hours work meeting night before that led to meeting boss in Garstang - unusual for her?
- The subsequent call with ‘new important client’ that required parents giving childcare - again, the norm? Or not? Night before
- Whilst the police are open to other possibilities they feel this is a missing persons case - see 3.
- Did she meet someone habitually on walk family & friends not aware about?
Occam’s razor says she simply met with an
accident and fell in, possibly on a different spot on the river? The area of river in front of bench a red herring.
Mobile phone data will provide more helpful context and information as police have said.
The families pain is palpable and so moving. Ambiguous loss is a special kind of hell. Hopefully there will be some closure and progress soon.
