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.

I've read the thread before anyone decides to jump on me again. If the dog was waiting by the bench, could a third party have been someone he knew and would take orders from to stay?

@ofwarren thank you, yes I know you said searched in OP. What I couldn't follow was why friend thought it had not been.

You need to explain why you think she would want to disappear from her family, her well paid job and what her long term plan would be for starting a new life given the whole country now knows who she is. Otherwise there's no logic to what you're saying.

Logically how can a stranger know that about someone else?

I'm really glad she was okay. Also so sad that she felt she needed to 'disappear' and can't imagine the rollercoaster that caused.

My own mum left the family home when I was 8, to start a new life. I don't remember her being 'missing' as such, nothing was explained, I didn't see her for years and years. Great relationship now though.

Sorry to de-rail there.

well someone on the previous thread thought they saw her in M & S in Brighton with dark glasses.
i mean you could get a hair cut and dye it, i can't imagine everyone would recognise her

Social media is swamped with people trying to discuss it, make sense of it and keep it current and other people trying to get everyone to shut up, to silence them, to turn the other way and not look, not speak, not voice an opinion . But they click and read every word salivating.
Yes. Don't read it if it's so offensive to you. Nobody on here has said anything awful in any case. They're just baffled by the whole thing.

Every single story questioning police investigation goes back to Peter Faulding as far as I can see. Whilst there are numerous public warnings about still looking river water, under currents, weir dangers etc etc. easily popping up on google. Not one professional person apart from him is saying what’s presumed to have happened is unlikely. Please anyone link to credible sources of criticism if I’ve missed.

I don't know the answer to that.
All I know is she got corrected by Heather Gibbons, another friend in a Facebook post and then Tilly Ann corrected and apologised.

@SueG60 you may be a Mensa member but you what you are saying is total and utter bollocks.

You are not the authority on this. I have no idea why you have come on to a thread to act like you are.

The police will not have ruled out the possibility that she has deliberately walked so why you do with such confidence is completely beyond me.

I'm not going to interact with you any longer because you are delusional and full of self superiority.

I have no idea whether NB has walked out on her family or not but I'm not competent to say that it is impossible and nor are you.

I've not been following too closely but regarding your point " searchable facts such as how many drowning victims are found and after how long. "

Well wouldn't that depend on where people drowned, down to the inch? - if there was a tide involved and the body taken out to sea, for instance. The reason for drowning - fatigue/cold/stuck in weeds/weighed down by clothing? Or in cases of deep sea drownings, it could be down to the bends or other mishap with gases.
There are an awful lot of variables involved with drownings it seems to me, so perhaps just not as easy to get a measurable comparison as you make it sound???

In any case, i hope she is soon found, safe and sound and returned to her loved ones.

A 2-second search brought up this person disagreeing with the police hypothesis:

www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1731509/nicola-bulley-missing-person-fell-in-river-theory

It is impossible to build a new life in this country when you've been the focus of such intense media scrutiny, and its impossible to live at someones house forever never going out.

Regardless of being recognised, it's virtually impossible these days to live any kind of normal life in the UK without ID - bank account, job, somewhere to live. Without ID, you'd have to be totally reliant on someone else. Yes, there is fake ID and cash in hand work, but you'd have to know where to go to get them. If NB had those kind of connections, the police would discover it.

I'm more saying I'm sat here trying to think about what her plan would be in that scenario, and can't think of a single thing other than going abroad.

There's also no motive - if she'd done that it would make it sound like canoe man, but he had life insurance and his wife was in on it. And of course eventually he had to resurface.

The reason I'm saying it defies logic is that there is no long term plan on that hypothesis, so even though you could do it short term, you'd have nothing to gain by doing so.

If NB had those kind of connections, the police would discover it.

That makes. the assumption that the Police maintain an active missing persons search.

I would also think that if at some point it becomes apparent to them that she has left of her own free will and she asks it to remain that way they will respect her wishes.

The family will be told but the it's not in the public interest.

looking at her facebook, it is very sad, and quite ominous, so many pictures taken of the place where she went missing.

Re. going abroad, anyone who has travelled on the eurotunnel or a ferry will know that car checks, boot or inside of van are extremely rare.

It is very easy to get abroad unnoticed if that is what you want to do. You would need to be assisted.

It's a circus just had a message off my son saying he's there and it packed with people. Just had to explain its not a tourist attraction and he shouldn't be there. I live about 20 minutes away but never heard of the place before this.
Feel sorry for the family and the residents living in the area. Hope they resolve this soon.

Re the spooky comment; this has been blown out of proportion too, she was commenting on photos with spiders webs frozen, i take that to mean spooky as in Halloween cobwebs spooky, not that the walk was spooky.

why on earth is your son there @Sadless

My thoughts exactly - I've said all that but people try to come up with examples of why thats not the case, pointing to the way in which homeless people live etc. But there's no motive why anyone would want to swap their middle class job and lifestyle, and swap it for that.

we dont know what her homelife was like
but again, i am sure she fell

I saw in one video that cows were in one of the fields opposite the river to the left. Maybe the dog went in to that field, and she went in to get her dog. But what if she got kicked in there, and fell?

I don't see how that could happen as the dog was dry at 09.33

The title doesn’t really match what he says in the article though. He in fact says the river flows out to see and that she may have caught in undergrowth etc but they “should” have found her as this patch is easier to search than his difficult patch. V different to what Faulding said in fact the complete opposite!

I hope the police arrest them all because there is a 48 hour dispersal order in place.
Idiots
