Yes, a description of the clothes she was wearing was provided.

Yes which initially was inaccurate "ankle length gilet" IMO

Earlier today I asked if anyone knew whether the water search was continuing today, but no one’s replied. I hope that doesn’t mean the search has been called off. Anyone heard anything?

I don’t even think the Police have setup a crime room for this, seems really odd , no description of the clothes she was wearing or a drawing of how she may of appeared of even a direct phone number to ring if you have information?

LancsPolice official statements - 6 updates ( you will find photos of NB at the updates. I don't think LE do drawings of missing people when photos are already available)

Lancashire Constabulary - Search Results

Lancashire Police covers a population of 1,449,300 and an area of 1,189 square miles (3,080 km2) and our site provides police news, witness appeals, crime reduction advice and local policing information

( They've also taken on two full teams of call handlers, according to Emma White in her interviews yesterday)

( as for the 40 detectives working on this case, I guess they're probably working from multiple rooms)

Can anybody who thinks it isn't NB on the Ring video footage explain how the kids didn't notice somebody other than their mum taking them to school that day?

 

[Coach]

Yes, it’s definitely that same room as the interview was recorded in, looks like it is a holiday cottage business. That one must not be let out at the moment if they were able to conduct the interview there. Was it EW who saw/spoke to NB at school on the morning she went missing? Who set up the GoFundMe page to raise money? Was it EW at the river with PA the day he met with PF? I expected one of NB’s own family to take part in DW‘s programme last night. I wonder what their views are on the documentary/interview.

According to NB Strava account she visited/stopped by in October the location where the red van was located in the satellite pic

Interesting that NB is connected to the location of the barn where the "tatty" van was seen parked. Could be coincidence. Why would NB go there? To buy logs?

Would anyone react to the sound of a dog barking coming from an area used by dog walkers?

Absolutely!

Playing Devil's advocate on that question but how do we know they were taken that morning. No time stamps on versions I've seen. I'm not saying that it isn't NB btw.

I don’t know if they are or not but maybe they’ve called off the search as they know more than they are letting on and could mean an imminent announcement which seems very likely to me.

Police are conducting a very thorough investigation, I think they would know.

Police have almost certainly thoroughly investigated the river but I'm not convinced that they have been thorough in following other lines of inquiry. IMO

They would have checked the CCTV at her home. That's obviously her on the day she went missing.

I haven’t seen anything today at all - very quiet and very worrying.

 

[I wonder]

Could it be that it was someone other than NB in the field but dressed up in the same clothes, of the same size, same hair, with local knowledge, who would be able to control the dog as they had walked it before? The bench scene then being staged. Whatever happened to NB having happened immediately after the school drop.

Please do tell me if there are obvious holes in this so that I can put it in the discarded list.

I'm still leaning towards a possible abduction, having abandoned the river as a theory.

This has been discussed before and we know Nicola left her car parked at the school and I think she has to walk on the pavement by the road for a while to get to the place she walks Willow. I can’t imagine that’s a great situation in terms of kidnapping, especially at that time of day. The police said there were 700 cars in the area at the time Nicola was there. That’s masses of witnesses plus lots of dashboard camers.

Police searching for mum respond to foul play claims as they hunt 700 drivers

Mum-of-two Nicola Bulley, 45, disappeared while on a dog walk on January 27 in St Michaels on Wyre, leading to a major police search with divers scouring the river

All the facts about Nicola Bulley's disappearance - and mysteries that remain

The search for Nicola Bulley has reached its 13th day and police admit there is little evidence to go on, though continue to hypothesise she fell into the River Wyre

www.mirror.co.uk

But if someone kidnapped her, what did they do with her and why would the kidnapper then pretend to be Nicola walking her dog? What would be gained by this? If you’ve kidnapped somebody, surely it’s best to minimise the possibility of people seeing you?

Nicola isn’t very tall, so the kidnapper would need to be petite too and slim and have similar hair and similar clothes and be able to walk someone else’s dog and know the route Nicola always too. On top of this, it‘s a massive risk. The other dog walkers may have bumped into fake Nicola, or stopped to have a chat with fake Nicola.

It’s really high risk and I can’t see how it serves any useful purpose. Why do you think they would do this? What’s your thinking here?

JMO MOO

Has it been stated who the text message was sent to about the play date?

To imply otherwise including the suggestion that the whole thing is fakery is surely casting suspicion on PA and others which I understand is against the forum T&Cs. I wish people would let this go.

 

[Coach]

That’s right, it would all have been checked. Could she have parked her car after dropping off at the school and then switched cars?

Comparing to the Sarah Everard case which was obviously very different circumstances but there was a period of time where people could not understand how SE vanished from a very busy road in SW London. Things then materialised very quickly, in this case, I think we should give it some time on the basis that the police are in fact investigating other lines of enquiry and perhaps do have information that they are trying to verify. IMO.

Are you thinking EW??

this seems unlikely given that on the CCTV the dog was already in the car.
