Found Deceased UK - Nicola Bulley Last Seen Walking Dog Near River - St Michaels on Wyre (Lancashire) #10

[Nine Lives]

I wonder if it’s being done to slip up any perp. JMO.

Surely it is being done to keep Nicola in public thoughts?

 

[Beginnersleuth]

If there is a potential perp they could have started up a friendly chat and she may have said she was on a conference call but just listening in.

Yeah might’ve been someone asking something from the other side of the gate and the dog was still running around and she’d normally put the harness and lead on past the gate so didn’t want to bother doing that - just left the dog running. Maybe the perp asked for instructions or was acting lost or something and she’s gone through the gate to give an instruction or show something quickly? Pure speculation JMO

I have a real sense of unease watching this

They may well have procured a geofence warrant which will show every phone that was in that vicinity at that time.
This is speculation, there is no MSM or police report to support this theory.

I am 99% certain I haven't imagined it and I have searched and searched for the source to no avail. Does anyone have any recollection of a report stating as NB passed a witness both of their phones had 'shown' that they had passed each other.

 

[tedtink]

Not too soon for this IMO.
When is it ever the right time?
The public will soon start losing interest in this case, so anything they feel they need to do, to prick a conscience, jog memories.
They're taking control of the narrative, so maybe a good thing, considered what's been happening lately on SM.

 

[Destroyer]

I get it, but does anybody actually think she’s still alive at this point?

I think it would be a miracle if that be the case now

 

[bringmeacupoft]

thank you! but here's another query for you or anybody else who watched

part of transcript from the Sun, but this bit I have bolded is unclear too
'
Walker asked the heartbroken partner " When did it feel, where’s Nikki? At what point did that kick in?"
Paul replied: "I just went in the house, put the kettle on, made a cup of tea, went into the living room, and thought I’ve got on an hour now to sort of chill and get myself ready for the day.
"Which is what I did. So she's usually back, like, quarter to 10, average 10 o'clock. At a push. So I’d gone up into the office at 10.
"Thinking that she’d be back in a minute, I was just going through some emails and stuff, setting my day up.

"It got to say quarter past 10, and that’s when I thought she was later than usual, but I still wasn't particularly worried because she has come back at quarter past 20 sometimes.
"And again, there was no answer. I tried the mobile again and no answer.
"Now I sort of started to get a bit bit panicky I think. So that's when I thought I'm gonna have to go down there and see if she’s alright.
"See if I can see the car or you know, see what's going on. But I still expected that I’d just get there and you know there she is.
"I just thought basically I'm gonna go out, find her, come home do a bit of work."

Morning Nicola Bulley vanished was ‘different’ to others, partner Paul Ansell says as he reveals when panic set in

NICOLA Bulley’s partner Paul Ansell says that the morning of the mum’s disappearance had already felt “different” before she vanished. Paul sat down with Channel 5&#821…

I don’t recall that bit. I can watch on catch up and update if someone else doesn’t. He said he got to 10:30 and thought he needs to go and find her, he normally goes to the gym on a Friday, so changed into his gym clothes thinking he’d find her and come back and go back to work then out to the gym on his lunch break.

He got the call from the school and left. Calling 999 on route.

No. I definitely did not see that but I could have missed it.

Why?

 

[kev4pe]

I would never have done an interview like this. Maybe he was advised to do it. Even then I would have refused

 

[Distant Observer]

The Channel 5 programme covered the reasons why this case has captured the public imagination. Essentially it was nice middle class woman walking a dog disappears, police stumped. The coverage by mainstream media is also astonishing because of the massive public interest in the case. I hope tonight's programme leads to some developments. Dan Walker was excellent with his interview.

 

[Fishwick]

Exposed brickwork is the only winner in this.

 

[Haveyoufedthecat]

But when have you ever seen a documentary like this TWO weeks after someone goes missing?? It’s just strange IMO.

I wonder, just wonder, whether the Police are quietly leading the family in the background to the realisation that this poor lady is quite frankly not going to be found alive and indeed any earthly remains may not be found either. If the making of this programme has been driven by the family I might wonder if this is the case and its a last ditch attempt by the family to absolutely keep Nicola in the news and people keeping an eye out for her. There will come a point when sadly things will be wound down and I am wondering whether we are approaching that. I fully accept that people can disappear without trace by choice or by other means but I think things are slowly getting to the stage where things will be wound down and I think that this interview (if family driven) may be an attempt to prevent that happening. One may wonder if it is indeed kinder to keep hope when all is lost or to perhaps face facts, however unpalatable. It's the children I feel for, because their lives are tainted before they have even started... Dreadfully, dreadfully tragic.

Hugely agree with your last paragraph

I think it's just missing out a word. So he would have said "she has come back at quarter past 20 past sometimes"

I have a new theory (for me) about all this now.

IMO PA is 100% innocent, absolutely no doubt… but I’m convinced someone did something bad. Cant say who, and I don’t know what, but you know when you just get a feeling? (MOO)

 

[Kassanddra]

I think the reason the family have done this is pure desperation. As the case is so public they have the means to do this interview, and basically they are doing everything they can.

Not all families of the missing get these opportunities so I think they’ve taken all they can.

Seeing the sonar scans definitely moved me in the scale away from the river somewhat.

Getting ready to go and search and had changed into gym gear when received a call from school

Did it say why he was going to look ?

Just wondering if she was late back ? I'm curious as if my OH was late back home one day I'd assume she'd just gone for a longer walk or got distracted doing something else etc.

Not trying to push the blame anywhere, quite the opposite in fact. Wondering if any text messages were sent to him by NB to indicate something was wrong.

 

[Hel44]

There are a lot of inconsistencies in this interview.
I don’t think it was a good decision to do it. Channel 5 must be rubbing their hands together, best ratings they’ve had in a long time.

What are the inconsistencies? I haven’t seen it, only read the transcript but I thought it tidied up some of the inconsistencies…
