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.

And yet you contribute too, keeping it going yourself.

Totally agree. I find it bizarre that the police are adamant there isn't a third party due to lack of evidence. Well yes, the cctv was off and there wasn't a witness. They surely does not mean she wasn't abducted and taken through the gate where the road is.

Women are targeted and attacked all the time.

Sadly some people are never found. There's a man near where I live disappeared in 2012. He had two children he was last seen near a local reservoir. It has been searched but not been found.

But the person who said the dog was dry tied her up, so probably did feel her as well.

Also ignoring that even if she is in the river, it doesn't mean a third party wasn't involved!

Oh that's so sad. Have they tried searching again now techno might have moved on a bit?

In response to you Q about why police told him to go home- this is always standard when someone reports someone missing from home to the police. There would be no point him stood at the location giving a report to police when there could be a chance she turns up at home without anyone knowing. Missing person reports are always taken at the home address where possible as a lot of the polices initial enquiries for a missing person need to take place at home such as searches of the home address, looking for diaries, passports etc.

Someone else who fell in 45 years ago even further up the river away from the sea was found in the sea two months later, so they did get washed along past the spot of the bench.

The river was in flood that day and the weir did not exist at that time.

Heart breaks for the girls. Hope she's found soon.

Why would she have taken the harness off rather than just unclipping the leash?

The police are keeping a open mind, but they will not admit every thing they are doing to the public. They said basically that they need to find some thing which points to a crime, weapon,body,clothing maybe. I don't see some abductor struggling with her to take her any distance. While knowing any one could appear from different directions, and see him. While the dog hopefully would bark or bite him too. And I don't see some one man handling her dog just to put him loose there with the phone, risking a bite.

There was no weir then. Water levels are very low at present also.

No one would be afraid of Willow - did you see the documentary last night?

Nicola always removed the harness after going through the gate at the start of the walk.

I think her friends said the harness was always taken off on the walk.

Yes I did watch it but a dog knows when its owner is just chatting. Every one of my dogs would bite an attacker even my dog that loves ppl.

They said her harness was often taken off in the field.

Her Strava photos show the dog both with and without harness (whether in water or not)

It’s bugging me that the Chorley guy being sought by the neighbouring police force for kidnapping and stalking (presume in an unrelated case) has a red van. Person last night posted it on the thread that went kaput and I followed their links. I hope it is being looked into by the police anyway, may be nothing but may be something.

I thought this was interesting from Lancashire police

I saw that but had no idea he had a red van

It’s just a horrible situation. As a Manic Street Preachers fan from when they first came out I was horrified by Richie James going missing. He’s been officially declared dead but has never been found.
This case scared me because there’s nothing that appears to have triggered the result: the dog wasn’t in the water (it was far far too cold for it to dry off in ten minutes and even in hot weather dogs carry that damp wet dog smell), no signs of slipping, no-one heard or saw anything, no apparent reason for her to walk out of her life or end her life (though the latter isn’t a visible thing of course).
It’s the kind of event my mother used to warn me about and (living in a village with a tidal river) that I would laugh at. Now , not so much.
She is just “every woman/mother” and it’s frightening to see what happens if something goes wrong.
Of course the thousands of missing people elsewhere in other circumstances is no less sad but plenty of people choose to disappear.
there’s nothing that suggests this is that kind of scenario- hence frightening and hence people wanting to discuss it.

hope this share token works. Unfortunately I think this case will end up as a another police cock up. If it’s a crime scene it’s been trampled. There’s no evidence shE went into the river, and police are still investigating other options, so why isn’t it being treated as a crime scene ?

And a old news post said that the lead was with the harness but no mention of a lead now.
