Missing Woman Nicola Bulley 6

[ofwarren]

These threads are to discuss the disappearance of Nicola Bulley from St Michael's on Wyre.

No speculation without evidence please.

Here are some frequently asked questions, with answers:

1.Where do Nicola and her husband work?

They both work from home which is why he was at home on the day she went missing.

2.Where was the dog harness found / the phone?

Dog harness was found near the river edge not the bench, phone was on on/near the bench.

1. Has the river been searched?

Yes by the police and volunteers from the Specialist Search team

1. Had the dog been in the water, and maybe Ms Bulley went in after her?

Willow appeared distressed but ‘bone dry’, according to the woman who found her. There was no sign of her having gone in the river.

1. Why would she leave her phone on the bench?

Nicola’s phone was found on the bench, still connected to a conference call. So whatever happened, there was no time to end the call or to alert others on the call.

1. Why was she on mute with no video for her business meeting?

This was not unusual, She used to go on work meeting calls with video off and microphone

1. Where was her partner while she was out walking their dog?

He was at home at the time.

1. What about this abandoned house?

Its not abandoned. Its owned by a lovely family who have lived in the village for generations and would do anything they can to help in the search for Nikki.
It has been searched, inside and outside, from top to bottom by the police. This has been clarified with the family themselves and also with the police.
They have never refused entry to the police or told them they need a warrant to search.

1. Did Nicola have a dog ball with her?

No she didn’t she used to but stopped taking a dog ball on walks.

10. Was she swept out to sea?

The police Seargent has said it’s now a possibility Nicola’s body could have drifted out to sea.

11. We’re CCTV cameras working in the area:

The CCTV camera which would have captured everything unfortunately wasn’t working. But the police are actively working to identify 700 motorists travelling in the Garstang Road area on the 27TH of January.

12. Are there any other paths she could have gone down?

Apart from the river, there are only three exits, two of which are covered by CCTV. On her way in, she was seen by several people. No one saw her leave.

Oh for goodness sake.

Why are you continuing this.

You have no idea what was going on in her life that might have led her to make a decision you might not have made.

It's not likely, I have said that many time.

But you say that it is impossible which is completely and utterly incorrect.

It is possible.

I've read the last few most recent pages of these threads the last couple of nights briefly before bed. Can anyone local say how long it would take to walk from the field she was last seen in to the weir and from the bench to the weir. Sorry if this has been stated repeatedly.

How do I report it? I've googled it but it just comes up with thousands of articles about her. Is there an email or something?

we're just going round in circles here, feel like I've explained things as well as I can but you want to believe she's just hiding.

You appear to have serious comprehension problems.

I hope she IS hiding because that way she is alive.

You have said that that scenario is impossible when it categorically is not.

That is what I am discussing with you. The fact that you are ruling out a possible scenario based on 'your logic'.

I have no idea what has happened and nor are you but I'm not prepared to jump to 'must have been abducted' like you are because there are 2 other scenarios that are at least as likely.

Email [email protected] if you have any evidence to support the investigation.

Her Strava hasn't shown any walks since November

Either she's stopped using it, or she'd started to use its privacy settings

Why do you keep posting like you’re an expert who knows it all?

there are multiple experts. It’s all over social media. Seriously. If you’re going to talk shite. Then just state it up front.

Many suicides are a shock to family and friends. Other suicides were result of repeated attempts or seen coming.

You have no idea if the police have info since her disappearance of the state of her mental health or other personal issues that may have come to light since.

So you cannot discount this as an possibility - either in the water (possibly after the weir) or elsewhere leaving her phone as an identification (which is a common in suicides) - or that she has taken herself off for a short time or a long time. These sit with other options of an accident or medical emergency in the water (or elsewhere) or an abduction.

From ONS: There were over 5, 500 suicides in 2021 in England and Wales - 5% by drowning - that’s 275 - more than 5 a week …. so since NB has been missing 10 people have taken their lives this way.

The peak age for female suicides is 45-49.

Statistically it’s a significant and realistic possibility.

I agree and it is also an age where woman are peri menapausel which puts some woman through an absolute hellish time with whatever else maybe going on in life.

Good grief, I have been on MN for 9 years and I've literally never known a set of threads like this!

What's with the constant nastiness and arguing? It's a horrific situation and people are understandably concerned but the level of disagreement on this thread is nuts!

Going back to mid afternoon, a pp asked why someone used string to tie up the dog and not its own lead which was on the ground. AFAIK, there hasn't been mention of a lead being on the ground, just the harness. It's quite normal for dog owners to clip the leads around their waists or across their bodies when they unleash the dog, so it's very likely NB had the lead with her. This would explain why the person had to use string, although what they tied the string to if the dog wasn't wearing its harness, I've no idea.

The lead was there

Collar

That was to what the string was attached to.

?

Yes it says so

I already said if thats the case the police will have some evidence already to that effect - there would be some signs, but so far they've said nothing about it and focusing on it being an accident, as are her family.

I mean if you were going to drown yourself you'd go in the sea not that part of the river. You'd also probably want to know what its like to drown, so a check of her search history would show that.

The comms from the police haven't suggested anything like it.

I also disagree that it would come as a complete surprise to family/friends. It happening yes, but theres always a reason why someone would do it and someone would have picked up some signs of low mood or other issues. Nobody goes from completely fine to topping themselves, its a build up over time.

Sue do you really think the police inform the public of all of their thinking?

Good grief.

Next time there is a mystery. We'll know who to ask. You clearly are all knowing.

The police are not going to tell the whole world someone is suscidal.

I think she's fell in the river by accident, thats what the police think and they have access to all the info. The abduction theory has a load of holes in it also but its more plausible than your theory.

I've already explained to you why its impossible to hide forever. You can hide short term, but there's no reason to do that if you've no long term plan to move forward. Thats why it doesn't make sense.

Thanks @ofwarren, I hadn't seen mention including the lead before. Presumably that's come from the police?

Robin Williams..

my friend

you really haven't a clue have you?

Not sure but Tilly Ann is Nicola's friend

I've already explained to you why its impossible to hide forever.

You've tried to and been told by me and other posters why it isn't.

I've already explained to you why its impossible to hide forever. You can hide short term, but there's no reason to do that if you've no long term plan to move forward.

If you say so.
