Found Deceased UK - Nicola Bulley Last Seen Walking Dog Near River - St Michaels on Wyre (Lancashire) #17

I don't disagree with the family's statement, but I think it was inappropriate for a public official on duty to read it out. Public agencies shouldn't be adversarial toward the free press, unless members of the media were actually breaking laws.

It should have been issued via a family spokesperson, lawyer, etc.

So sorry for her family and loved ones.

And I believe the school is fairly near the river? So a regular reminder.

I was thinking the same, this morning, pineapple. The river is such a lovely feature of the community but it will never be the same for then. So tragic.

The sweetest words at the end.
We will take it from here.

Rest well, Nicola. I hope you're at peace now.

To Paul and the family, I'm sorry you're having to go through this.

Just an observation and no opinion cast, but the police have always made a case of specifically saying they don't suspect 3rd party involvement in all other conferences, but did not mention it today. Is that A) because they don't want to overstep the corners investigation given the criticism or B) because they've sene soemthing that could indicate that and don't want to say no involvement and it later comes out there is/may be

RIP Nicola. I hope we will now get to discover the truth, at least for the sake of the family.

I thought that too.

Devastating. Thoughts are with her family and friends, and specifically her daughters. This is a real family, not a tv show.

Just because this has been somewhat of a circus from start from finish doesn't mean that it's all just wrapped up now her body has been found.

Cause of death still needs to be determined, time of death needs to be determined, and if there are any signs NB was attacked prior to ending up in the river

RIP Nicola and strength to all of her family in the coming months. The press and some members of the public should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Sad news.
I can’t help but feel a bit saddened by the family statement, possibly not the best time for that. It felt more about Paul than poor Nicola.
IMO.

God help the children, heartbroken for them.

 

[Penny68]

My heart goes out to Paul, their daughters, their families, friends and neighbours at this deeply saddening time.

To my knowledge no one here on WS actually knew Nicola, or of course her family, but it doesn't take away the fact lots of thought, hope too over these three weeks of her missing has been put out.

May Nicola Rest in Peace. xx

To me it felt about the whole family.

You know, you’re probably right.

I’m watching Sky News and conveniently they’re completely ignoring the scathing attack on the media, themselves in particular.

IMO one good thing that could come out of this horrendous situation is that someone takes a long hard look at what behaviours by the media are permissible. LP will be scrutinised for their failings, I hope the media receive the same scrutiny.

RIP Nicola, my heart is broken for your family.

I pray that if it was an accident she didn't suffer and she was incapacitated before she went in.
If suicide I hope she is now at peace.
RIP Nicola Bulley.
Thinking of the family at this heartbreaking time.

The perfect comment. Well said.

They’ve also just replayed the press conference, conveniently without the statement from the family.

Rest in Peace NB.
