Missing Woman Nicola Bulley 7

[LoveMAFS]

The chat appears to have gone quiet today after the last thread filled up, so I'm making a new one for anyone who wants to come together whilst we all hold our breath hoping for a good outcome.

Yes, i think the same too. The police keep insisting that shes drowned was quite odd. And it could be that they actually suspect someone and want to make them think they are not suspected, by saying that there were no third party involved.

Also battery life issues for a tiny powered chip.

@Peverellshire on thread 5 you posted

"Hopefully there will be an end to this very soon and I think imminently. By end of weekend max"

Do you still stand by that?

This
I've gone through all my apps and social media and took off any tracking.
I'm looking for an app or something that can be tracked by another phone so if I do go for a walk in the country, my husband can see where I am. I'm not sure of a good one though, or whether it's just easier to get an air tag.

Absolutely. I'll be doing whatever I can to feel safer when out alone in my rural area. I won't hide at home.

I've ordered an air tag for this purpose.

I posted this upthread and no one responded but I think this is important.

The woman who found Willow said she tied to her to a bench with string that was already attached to her collar - is this correct? If so, why did she have string attached to her collar? This to me indicates that she had been tied up previously and broke free. If this is the case, who tied her up?

I was naive when Sarah Everard happened. It didn't connect with me like this because it was at the other end of the country and was in the city.
With this case, Nicola could easily be me or one of the school mums I know. Even the clothes she was wearing are so typical of what the school mums wear here.
I've walked through those fields so many times and never felt unsafe. It feels like, if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere. I know objectively, that was always true but in a place like this, it just didn't seem possible.

I’m becoming utterly fascinated by the steady roll call of posters who clearly think that they are the arbiters of what is acceptable or appropriate and can go on and on about it. Why do you think your opinion on what is up for discussion is paramount? Why are you so bossy essentially? And hectoring? Who on earth do you think you are to go round telling other people what to talk about? Are you this up yourself in real life?

It’s a massive news story. A woman has disappeared without trace and the experts involved in finding out what happened to her aren’t aligned. People will talk. Get over it. MN will moderate their site.

I think that was misreporting.
It was Tilly Ann, a friend, who said the dog was tied up with string. I think incorrect grammar and punctuation made it look like the string was already attached to the collar.

I think that's probably going to be the best bet. At least then, if your phone is gone you can still be found.

Me too. I've always been really blasé about that kind of thing. I walk along the canal fairly often and tend to meet the occasional person.

I've not suddenly become scared of my own shadow, just feel it would be a good idea to make things easier for myself and others in the unlikely event that anything ever occurs.

it is healing*

@ItsaStupidSillyThing it's apparently a shadow not a bruise

There are photos of him from before she was missing with the same shadow on his face.
It's just discolouration

Yeah a shadow.... apparently. People can't see it.

It is a weird one which is why a big part of why people are interested and speculating. There seem to be a few possibilities but none of them are supported by good evidence which is why people are interested to see it solved. On the surface it seems tantalisingly possible to solve, the items and dog left behind, the small window of time when whatever happened happened, but there's nothing to conclude with yet. No one will want answers more than her family, and I'm sure most.posters bear this in mind but it's still obvious why most people a keen to know what exactly happened.

@Wittow do you see a bruise?
It's been mentioned he has the same shadow in other pictures

I'm sure the police will have asked him about his facial bruising even if Dan walker didn't.

Exactly. I've ordered one for a friend too, she often runs alone - it's horrendous really that we have to think of these things but I think these threads are at least making us aware of possibilities, even if they are remote possibilities. I wouldn't want my family and friends going through what poor Nicola's are.

Oh stop it 🙄
Do you really think the police would not have noticed that?
