I suspect, though it’s just my opinion, that the police are holding a news conference today simply because they feel obliged to with all the speculation in the news. I doubt they’ll have any significant updates.
I’ve also detected this frenzy is getting slightly less so, maybe because people are realising how hard it is to locate a missing person and are becoming tired of repeating the same speculations.
It’s truly heartbreaking that NB has gone missing, and whilst I understand how desperate her partner, family and friends are to find her, it’s a sad fact that hundreds of people go missing every year - and some are never found again. As much as the police are desperate to find NB, they’ve done everything they can possibly do so far and whilst they’ll continue their searching, even into the sea, there will come a time they will have to scale their search down. Sadly, they can’t search daily forever. Obviously, they’ll investigate any new leads that may come in, and are still carrying out land searches, I believe. But I think they’re now hoping that NB resurfaces somewhere.
In today’s Daily Mail (linked in a previous post above) a fisherman with extensive local knowledge of the river said he feared if she fell in that river she would not be found 'for months'. He said no-one would have spotted her had she fell under, and that the undercurrents are such that she’d be dragged away into the sea.
Local fishermen know that river like the back of their hand, so for one with decades of experience, I believe his judgment.
I know there’s been lots of talk about her phone being left on the bench; some saying it was left as a decoy by an abductor; but why would an abductor not throw her phone into the river - they’d want to dispose of it promptly. And if they wanted to make it appear she had fallen in the river and not been abducted, the most obvious thing would have been to throw her phone in with her. They wouldn’t leave it on the bench to add intrigue. Almost everyone with a phone has it in their hand or pocket, so the obvious thing for an abductor would be to throw it in with her - or they’d throw it in the river knowing it would be located by signal ( or found in an underwater search) making people convinced she too fell in. I dare say they’d have even thrown Willow in the river too - they wouldn’t leave her to follow them for 10 minutes while they were struggling with Nicola to the exit, knowing dog walkers could appear any second.
IMO NB fell into that river by a tragic accident and I just hope they find her as soon as possible.
