Missing woman Nicola Bulley - inquest (P 158)

[cleavers]

Was her phone on the bench and the dog tied to the bench?

The first reports said her phone was on the bench, still logged onto the work call, which ended a few minutes earlier, and the dog was found wandering close by.

I did read the police think she fell in the river now that probably the case because they would looked at all the video footage they had around that area! Her body will probably be found up river in a month or two..

Not in a football forum in my opinion. Too many amateur detectives.

Is it not unusual for the police to give such an almost certain hypothesis, that she fell/entered the water
and that there are no suspicious concerns and in all probability, she is still in the river or out in the bay?

I know they are eager to squash rumours of the possibility of a predator still in the area, however, I still
thought it was unusual to commit to x1 hypothesis? I thought they usually prefer to keep all options in
play? The reason stated was that its due to all the exits having either been locked or covered by cctv &
cctv doesn't show her leaving the area. The Superintendent didn't actually confirm there was cctv at all
the locked exits though? I've read elsewhere that police have previously placed erroneous information
out in statements so as to try to get a suspect to make a mistake thinking they are not under suspicion.

After the police statement, the first question was around confirmation that the lady was wearing a fitbit.
The reporter eluded to the tracking capability & had this been followed up? I didn't make out the reply?
I'm sure they don't have the capability of an aeroplane black box but it would be interesting to know any
data the police have available, if any.

If the hypothesis is correct, unless the body has been significantly snagged underwater by clothing for
example. I believe at some point, it then move upwards to the surface & floats? The temperature of the
water alters time that this is likely to happen & the warmer the water, I believe the quicker the process?
Obviously, it's February and the water is cold, so this may take sometime yet. I know its gruesome but
if this aspect means her body is found earlier then the family receives some closure at earlier time too?

Funnily enough, that's exactly what I thought.
Considering his partner of many years,and the mother of his 2 children has been missing for a week, he didn't seem particularly distraught.
Just something not quite right about his demeanour during the interview.

Hate crap like this - people desperate to jump to find a culprit based on their expert detective work on body language

If he seemed ‘distraught’ others online would say there’s something odd about him and comes across ‘fake’ etc

Heartbreaking. Cannot imagine what her family are going through and those poor kids

Or I could just go back back to my original post in this thread and insist that she was abducted by aliens.
Whichever suits you best .

Her dog may have got mud/dog shit on her or she may have had an issue with her doggy bags and she’s tried to wash it off. She’s left her phone on the bench to keep it away from the water/dirty hands and unfortunately fell in.

We used to have a mongrel that for whatever reason would roll around in horse shit given the chance. I remember one time my dad foolishly clambering out on some rocks on the river Mersey to wash it off. Both him an£ the dog.

Possibility.

Often think the most boring explanation is the one that's probably right. The dog has probably got free from the harness or gone too near the river, she's gone to retrieve it from the water's edge and put the lead back on. At some point she's slipped and fallen in, and if the river's moving quickly then that's it.

When I was 8/9 years old and learning to ride a bike, I was cycling along the Mersey down by Burnage Rugby Club, just before you hit Parrs Wood. Took one hand off the handlebars and went down the bank straight into the river. My parents were there so they fished me out, but if I was on my own I'd have been fucked.

I never made a noise. It took 3/4 seconds to even realise what was happening, then once I hit the water I lost sense of myself. Thankfully it was a dry summer day so the water was slow and fairly shallow, because when it rains heavily the water comes right up to the banks and moves quickly. Could have easily been a goner.

Like I said, my dad fished me out and the worst that happened was I got a really nasty stomach bug from swallowing half the river (made the mistake of going to a City-Arsenal game the next day, the one where Lauren scored that really bizarre own goal, and missed half the game), but any colder/wetter and who knows.

Her poor family. Especially her daughters. There's nobody like mum in the whole universe.

Police often put close family up in front of the media to see how they react and have body language experts analysis their performance. Most murders are perpetrated by someone they know although this would seem to be an unfortunate accident,time will tell. Never discount anything
