Found Deceased UK - Nicola Bulley Last Seen Walking Dog Near River - St Michaels on Wyre (Lancashire) #15

[rojo]

The boss drove from Keighley to Garstang to meet with NB.

He would have been quicker driving to her home to meet. But he bypassed it and drove further for the meeting.

Did anyone else attend the meeting other Nicola and her boss? I wonder if he stayed overnight in a hotel.

I assumed just the two of them but don’t know.

 

[JennieM]

Her boss is not POI.

 

[Marie Bell]

Thank you for explaining that.

So then, wouldn’t the critical window of time really be from 9:20 when (presumably) Nicola sets her phone down, and 9:35 when it’s spotted on the bench, rather than the time between 9:10 and 9:20? Maybe I’m just thrown by the media’s focus on 9:10-9:20, when she’s probably in the upper field.

I agree. I was puzzled by the 9.10 to 9.20 part too. I seem to recall a WS poster managing to explain it or clarify it, maybe, but I'm afraid I don't remember what the explanation was. Unless it was that police think that if there were any involvement by another party it is during that time when they might be seen, or captured on CCTV as they approached.

Yes. i wondered.

It was mentioned in the press conference this week that the meeting was purely informative and Nicola did not need to attend - ie. not a compulsory Friday team meeting.

Thanks, yes I hadn't retained that information from the LE conference and does suggest the call had little relevance to the circumstances that followed.

53 miles vs 55 miles? Not really much difference?

And she maybe didn't want him at her house, or he didn't want to go to her house.

There is nothing particularly weird about any of the details of Nicola’s work that I’ve seen, except that the out-of-hours meeting in Garstang was apparently slightly unusual, but it doesn’t seem exceptionally so. Being on a Teams meeting, messaging the boss…? All normal enough for anyone in “office” jobs who aren’t in the office.

I am regularly invited to briefings where I just listen in and don’t speak or contribute, sounds like the Friday call was one.

i am not convinced that she left the kids and willow, but could be a worst case scenario.
My thoughts are she may have a different plan to end her life possibly not in the water.

Maybe, but in that case its been a well thought out plan involving 3rd party support and a certain amount of luck in avoiding been seen at any stage of disappearance.

Unless I missed something, LE specifically said "the mobile phone was back on the bench at 9:20 am"

Always intrigued by the "back on the bench" which infers it was there previously but may just be semantics.

Whichever, it only states the location of the mobile phone and not NB which is more significant.

I'm guessing now but something gave some location data from the phone, just guessing but no idea really, maybe "find my" enabled in an iPhone, for example, confirmed that location at that time.

 

[Coach]

Her boss is not POI.

I find it odd that someone working in financial services would only have one mobile phone. Presumably it has two SIMs in it.

I work in finance and only have one phone.

Honestly, the guff people spout on here, fs.

 

[JennieM]

I didn’t say he was, I asked if there were others in the meeting.

My comment wasn't for you coach. Just generally for the discussion about her boss.

I think it was just them two in the meeting.

I don’t think that is known or has been published.

Maybe, if they can pinpoint location so accurately, NB was sitting on the bench taking the call (or that’s the assumption), then they know she walked around, then the phone was left on the bench by itself?

Leaving the phone on the bench doesn’t necessarily point to suicide IMO. I frequently have lost my phone when I’m drunk — and I’m not saying NB was indeed drunk but it’s one of the top things I lose when out on a binge (other top answer is my bank card). The thing is normally glued to my hand but can be lost much more easily if I’m not sober. I’ve more than once paid cab drivers to bring it back to me the next day.

Her boss is not POI.

a general query about POI… when a person becomes a poi .. do the public get to know this? When would we know. Why would the police publish who are poi?
Sorry just wondering..

yes, let's leave the boss out of this lol.

how do you know? I don't think that info has ever been made known

I figured GPS data, which is only accurate to about 5m in open spaces. IMO
