BBC News - Nicola Bulley: Partner describes perpetual hell over missing mum
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-64450243

Just been reading about this. How awful for her partner and children. Really hope she is found soon

I understood it as she had secured a mortgage for a client?

@Peverellshire -I cannot see any reports saying she secured a mortgage on her home. She is a mortgage adviser. She had arranged a mortgage for someone else.

Some of the other recent posts on this thread seem to be based on social media speculation rather than anything solid. The alleged connection to John Robertson, for example, is somewhat tenuous - someone who is following her on Strava is also allegedly following John Robertson. It isn't even true. As for Simon S, according to Strava he lives in Camberley. It is true that he is following three people called Nicola Bulley. However, there seem to be a number of people who have signed up to Strava following her disappearance who are only following her or people with the same name. I can't be sure, but it looks to me like Simon S is one of them.

@prh47bridge I read as her own mortgage, will find source. The screenshots a PP posted, look to say NB was troubled by this ‘follower’ & are dated 7 Dec, IF genuine.

Coincidentally, this was when NB stopped posting on FB.

(Screenshot’s apparently of NB’s FB messenger from her account.

Ah thank you. Yes I thought it related to her job as a mortgage advisor rather than a property she was buying but that post confused me.
I think you’re right that there’s a lot of speculation & some info gets lost/ misinterpreted along the way.

What does the message say? @Peverellshire

PP posted upthread with a few message screenshots.

Only the dog may know what really happened.

That house nearby is very spooky.

And the Strava thing is very suspicious.

I wonder if she was recording the walk on Strava and if there's anyway to get that information?

The whole thing is a mystery, I hope they find answers.

Yes, I've seen that, but the individual concerned is not listed as one of her followers on Facebook and I would question how someone unconnected managed to get access to her Facebook Messenger. Most likely explanation is that they didn't, and the screenshot is fake.

Yeah, I totally agree with you there. It’s so unusual, isn’t it.

No, it isn’t.

I think perhaps it’s the nationwide publicity that it is receiving but others have summed it up better - it must be how unusual it is. It has gathered the nation’s interest.

Maybe not. Maybe it’s just caught my interest more than any other case due to its media converage.

Partner has just done a live interview

I didn’t mean it to come across that way. Apologies.

having reread that, I can see that it came across badly, it wasn’t how I meant to say it. Apologies.

I meant it’s not “so unusual” for the police to swing into action quickly vs. Waiting a few hours.

people don’t abandon their dogs and phones on a bench near a river, divert from their daily routine, and bugger off to the pub for a few hours. At the very least it’s an indication that her thought processes weren’t usual.

it’s an out of character disappearance so immediate red flags.

The poor husband, he looks absolutely confused and distraught. I hope he and they will have a positive outcome and eventual closure, this must be living hell. The whole community will be traumatised.

From what I know there is some information which has not been released (and I do know, it's not speculation. My DP knows members of the local police and was told this).

People are becoming very uneasy round here. I live a few miles away near the coast, and a couple of my friends yesterday said they won't walk their dogs alone until this has been cleared up.

Same. I'm only 15 minutes away and have been looking at getting a tracking device.
It's really scary

I remember when I was a little girl in middle school, a friends mum went missing. She was having a breakdown, dropped my friend off at school and went to the airport. It was awful.
Can't stop thinking about those two little girls. I don't want to speculate but I hope it won't be too long before the family have some awnsers.

Saw on another forum about an open prison nearby - is that a risk? Also an unresolved sexual assault in NOV

Prisoners are always escaping from that place. At least one a month I'd say.
It's only 8 miles away from St Michael's.

It’s not a messenger conversation, someone has gone to Nicolas profile and been able to comment on a post of hers from 7th December.

The screenshots show the comments left on her profile.

Yes this is making me think about safety when I'm out alone with DDog, we go to some fairly out of the way paths...no one would hear me or know exactly where I went. A tracker device is a good idea perhaps... But also this incident, whatever it turns out to be, has happened in broad daylight at a busy time of day, where there were clearly other people around and you would think one would be perfectly safe. Maybe that's partly what is so unnerving about it all.
