This probably seems like such a crass thing to say but I just don’t think if you were planning to disappear that you’d take your dog with you and leave it. Nothing about this case makes any sense at all though. I am uncertain how anyone can say with any certainty that she wasn’t ever in the water. I’ve worked my whole career in the criminal justice system and the window of opportunity seems so tight for foul
play but as I said nothing about this is clear.

I know of someone who went missing when she took the dog for a walk.

The dog made his own way home, she was found the next day 😢

If you were up for climbing fences etc. there's a footbridge to the other side of the river just past Rowanwater.

It almost definitely didn't happen though.

Is it for farmers that footbridge?
I've never used it. It was behind the farm where we used to stroke the cows.

From my experience, dogs will return to the nearest place of 'safety' if they are scared or unsure so it makes sense that Willow was found around the bench if that's where he was last with Nicola. If he saw here go into the water he would have most likely followed her in. If she was taken he might have been scared and returned to base. All "if onlys".

Yet here you are reading them all.

This is such a tired, lazy line trotted out to anyone who finds these threads distasteful.

I haven't 'read them all'. I've looked through some.

Anyone is entitled to read, and comment, on any thread they like, including ones they don't agree with. I haven't posted much, but each time I have called out this insane, obsessive, ill-informed intrusion into a family tragedy.

The almost-worst of this is the belief by some posters that they are actually helping by posting & speculating.

On two occasions I posted about a situation I was close to, that had similarities. The body wasn't found for 7 weeks, and when it was, it was exactly where the person was last seen, even tho the area was repeatedly searched.
That was to address the point that keeps being made 'there's no evidence she went in the water' and 'they'd have found her by now'. Ignored each time - some posters don't like any factual information to get in the way of their slavering speculation.

I've no idea what it's for. It seems to have a bollard at the end of it though, so it's not for tractors, which is odd if you're building a bridge between a farm and fields. Maybe something to do with access to the flood scheme? Is that over there?

They have considered it, there is no evidence at this time to say it’s a criminal matter.

You keep saying this, but there’s no evidence Nicola went into the river either, yet that has been thoroughly investigated.

Isn’t that a good thing that the river has been thoroughly investigated?

I've absolutely no idea
I haven't lived in St Michael's for over 8 years now.
We luckily never got affected by flooding.
There was even a shop when we lived there 🤣
We moved when one of the kids was born seriously ill and needed tube feeding etc. I wanted to have a GP surgery nearby.

What do you mean about the partner? Are you implying he’s done something to her? Do you think that’s an ok thing to do?

Please don't speculate about her partner. There is absolutely nothing to suggest wrongdoing there.

Most posts are speculative, repetitive, critical of the police and voyeuristic.

From your previous post. How would you know if you've only read some of them?

Thesesoundsfallintomymindwoowoo · 08/02/2023 22:37

@Owlyhedgehog In what way?

JackieDaws · 08/02/2023 22:38

Well, at least I know what criminology degrees are for - to post increasingly unhinged speculation on here and all over the Internet.

I think I've been there twice on foot, but driven through loads of times.

I'm a bit of a map geek, and an info geek, and of a bit of an over-logical mindset.

just trying to help.

How's it helping? Do you think the police investigation is based off anonymous mumsnetters' suggestions?

EarringsandLipstick · 08/02/2023 22:40

To feed your pedantry 🙄🙄🙄

I have not read every single post of 5 threads. I have read quite a number; of those I have, most of them are as I described.

A scant few are genuinely posting with good wishes & concern for Nicola and her family only.

Happy now?

Exactly.

It's bad enough people post uninformed shite.

It's worse that they think so is doing some good, the virtuous 'keeping this in the public eye / focus of police attention' nonsense.

You should be ashamed.

"A group of men believed to have travelled from the Liverpool area, to search for Nicola Bulley in an abandoned house by the River Wyre, have been issued with a dispersal order."

This will be the tik tok fools
What's a dispersal order? Basically saying go home or you will be arrested? @Nicknacky

You'd have a field day with me and my autism.

I've definitely murdered my ex-partner, my parents and all my siblings.

It's all in the eye contact and the body language.

I don’t know anything about them to be honest, I’m not a police officer in England but I imagine it’s along those lines. That tik toker is an outrage!
