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.

Stop saying that @SueG60 it's not true

"There you go then, in hindsight it wasn't a surprise was it?"

You're fucking twisted mate

If family and friends always knew someone was about to do that they would be trying to stop them. Not shocked. Yes the man or women themselves may no but funnily enough people put on brave faces and get in with life till they don’t anymore.

If people were not convincing at doing this you wouldn’t get mass murders, people living double lives and general con men ffs. It’s all a lovely act put on to make people think it’s all good fine normal and lovely. Obviously not everyone can pull it off or forever but a lot can for a very long time.

@SueG60 why are you so intent on derailing this thread continually! No one is in the least bit interested in your nonsense and I personally wish you would buzz off, I'm sick seeing your replies popping up!
My Sister took her life in 2013. Do not ever tell anyone there will have been signs etc because you think you know best. You don't.

@mumsnet can this member be banned for a period of time out?

Yes I do @SueG60 because it has happened in many, many instances.

Sounds like people have got confused then.
Are the only confirmed sightings, the old man with dog and then caravan owner?
Were there more?

A certain poster seems to have a big issue.

"can this member be banned for a period of time out?"

Seconded. Honestly, I'm really upset by her comments. I didn't even say who these people were to me.

As if things aren't bad enough. I'm off out.

Best to ignore from now on I think.

Do all think you should stop bickering - this thread is going to get deleted. Try and give a more measured response.

Nobody yet knows what’s happened to NB, it’s like arguing over religion. You no proof and it’s all speculation.

"by all accounts had no signs of low mood?"

Not everyone has said that. Her partner hasn't said that for example.

And now you're saying I'm lying? Those are the people closest to me that I know. I also know of several more. I don't know if they all made plans but at least one of them did.

You really need to back off

I think you need to pipe down now SueG60. You don't know what you are talking about.

It's not even the MEN, it's the MEN regurgitating an article from the Mirror, quoting an anonymous friend who wasn't even there. That's the account I'd remembered that's caused all the confusion though.

You're the one spreading malicious BS. Why are you saying my loved ones didn't do those things?

Thank you @itsnote for speaking out.

I am sorry for your loses.

I have also experienced this with a family member and it is offensive to have someone banging on so definitively - as well as spreading misinformation.

None of us know the facts so can’t rule out abduction, murder and concealment on the riverside, accident in the water, suicide in the water (at anywhere along the bank), suicide elsewhere or left alive by choice.

Each of these options have statistical probability attached from a historical records perspective - which is then further refined in each case by overlying the specific context and evidence as it comes through.

All options are viable and it’s a dynamic situation.

Open minds are called for.

I'm sorry @Suzi888 but those comments made were a direct attack on me and my deceased family members. I'm not going to ignore them.

"It's not even the MEN, it's the MEN regurgitating an article from the Mirror, quoting an anonymous friend who wasn't even there. That's the account I'd remembered that's caused all the confusion though."

Like 4 year olds playing Chinese whispers then

I have to say, if the standard of person who is ex police on this board is representative of the wider police force, then no wonder the police have zero confidence in the police at the moment. Just awful.

Yes, I was just thinking they were displaying the same sort of stubborn pedantry that many people suspect the police in this case of.

It's one poster causing the bickering by posting offensive lies.

At this point I believe it is deliberate.

But there isn't evidence that she hasn't. I'm genuinely confused by your arguments. None of us know about her state of mind as it isn't our business. We do know that the police believe she went in to the river. No more than that.
