Just thought I'd create a second thread for those following this case.

Just been having a look on Twitter, various theories about the police presence on the bridge there. Surprised by how many people feel she isn't in the water.

Activelyannoyed · 06/02/2023 21:59

Yes Twitter saying it’s a male cyclist has been knocked off the Bridge.

There is always the possibility that she is not but it's more than likely she is.

So this guy with the sonar machine has changed his view twice since yesterday, First he criticised the police and believed NB is not in the river. This morning he said she appears to be in the river. Then this evening he said his gut feeling is that she’s not in it.

What kind of expert is he?

An expert who released an autobiography 3 days ago.

The friend Emma White has just set up a GoFundMe to raise £100k
What do they need that money for? It seems a lot!

He’s saying it’s the most ‘baffling’ case he’s ever worked on in 24 years.

TheUsualChaos · 06/02/2023 22:08

Have they said how far down the river they have been searching? I just feel like as it's a tidal river with a deep channel running down it, she could be miles away by now 😥

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 06/02/2023 22:09

Shard bridge is shut now apparently. Either way it’s a shit outcome 😢.

Return2thebasic · 06/02/2023 22:09

@TheUsualChaos , if they had established that, should be rather easy to share the information, no?

I do find his changing tone through the day rather baffling.

Google and find out. They are a very big outfit. And from what I can see very expert at what they do.

looks like this morning he was repeating the police theory and supporting them.

he is saying both them and rhe police are baffled. No one can find her. Literally.

and they have nothing to go on, other than her stuff and the dog was left in a given location by a person unknown. They don’t even know for sure if it was her, or if she was ever at the bench.

coteliq · 06/02/2023 22:11

Perhaps because he has worked only on drownings and this case isn’t one? If not drowning then there is nothing for him to do.

Hope whoever it is is ok.

Oh no
They have obviously found something. Might not be her, but it's obviously something bad.

Someone on the Knott End page was saying the cyclist was lying on the road though so I guess there could be 2 incidents? Hope the cyclist is OK though.

VargaV · 06/02/2023 22:13

Local Twitter is reporting a cyclist hit by a car on the bridge.

Not sure why that would require 9 emergency services vehicles though.

Activelyannoyed · 06/02/2023 22:13

As said, it seems it’s a fatal accident involving s male cyclist who has been knocked into the water

coteliq · 06/02/2023 22:14

I remember someone posted on the first thread that they searched this stretch of river thoroughly once when their friend’s dog went missing with no trace at all. The dog wasn’t found until much later and quite a distance away. So this river isn’t as simple as it looks.

BethFromThisIsUs · 06/02/2023 22:18

Think they’ve been badly advised re the GoFundMe 😬

Oh no! That’s the 2nd cyclist round here in a few weeks. I’m

To raise money toward the search and help support Nikki’s husband and family during this time, apparently

I don't think they're a very big outfit at all. I think this bloke likes bigging himself up though.

The North West Police unit which does the same job this company does and covers North Wales, Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Cheshire - so hundreds of miles of rivers and canals, all the lakes in the Lake District, North Wales etc., all the North West coastline - that's staffed by 12 men.

Yes that seems a very strange move to say the least.
