If it turns out she did drown and has been found in the river, it doesn't say much for that specialist dive expert Lancashire Police brought in.
He said she definitely wasn't in there, other wise he'd have found her.
It'll make him look a bit silly, especially as he was so egoistical and sure of himself.

To be fair to them, they did only search that specific area LE pointed them to. They did say that she could be found further down the river. They have since came out and said that if they had been made aware of her vulnerabilities at the time, it would have changed their search pattern.

Lancashire Police did not bring PF in to assist with the search.
 
So sad, but long-term, so much better than not knowing. For those of us who have been here a long time, this is a VERY familiar scenario where a body will be found in a place that everyone insists has been thoroughly searched. Especially in water, searches are very imperfect.
Now the looneytunes will turn to criticising police for not finding Nicola quicker and making up theories of how she was "moved there" after something else happened. Police need to learn to screen the nonsense out and learn how to use the good side of social media. Even MSM attacked them for releasing relevant information about Nicola and her possible mental state/vulnerability. This has always been done with missing people, though I think it should have been done in a less detailed way ie something like "personal/medical difficulties" and right at the beginning of when she went missing. People can sympathize with this, they are very common.
I'll be honest, when I first saw this case and Nicola's age, the very first thing I thought of was, I wonder if she's having a difficult perimenopause? It can be a very difficult process for some women and can cause serious depression which needs medical intervention. There may have been a good reason to stop HRT but she should have been carefully monitored for withdrawal effects. The police incident suggests something fairly drastic was happening with her mental health and perhaps she needed a short inpatient stay to give her breathing space and some medical support.
 
NB may have entered the water near the bench, but may also have walked all or part of the way. I am wondering if she was found in the river proper or in some reedy or brushwood-like part of the bank. In which case she could have hidden there to wait for the end.

Am also watching Peter Bleksley on SkyNews live ( C4's Hunted, True Crime Con guest, TC author) complain about the speculators and ghouls
( He had been on ThisMorning, previously, complaining that LP were not providing enough case info to the public. Just rewatched his clip UK - UK - Nicola Bulley Last Seen Walking Dog Near River - St Michaels on Wyre (Lancashire) #8

He's on the BBC now.
Has he got a book out?

I really wish there was an island somewhere where we could send all these former and exes so they could spout their opinions to each other and leave the rest of us in peace.

I'm struggling to work out how the search pattern would be different for someone who fell in accidentally to someone who jumped in deliberately.

You are still looking for the same thing.

I call BS.

With regards to Peter Faulding's search?

Having found a body myself and got it to the side with my dinghy and boathook I didn't find it all that traumatic. He had been in the water a couple of weeks and there was algae. I did roll him over to check but the face wasn't visible..

IMO spotting something in a river when you know someone has gone missing isn't going to be bad. Recovering it is potentially a bit dodgy but seeing it, when you are expecting it, isn't that serious.

They float with the back up and the hands and legs and head hanging downwards into the water.

:(
It would be nice for the family to have answers, regardless.
This is so sad.
