Found Deceased UK - Nicola Bulley Last Seen Walking Dog Near River - St Michaels on Wyre (Lancashire) #13

[Cherrycola88]

the police said that they would be active on N's FB today and not to be alarmed if anyone saw that her account was active/online.

Does this mean they're only checking her Facebook now, three weeks down the line?!

Oh, ok, sorry. Thought somebody mentioned it earlier on this thread but I must have got the wrong end of the stick.

No.

possibly - they may not have had her login and needed to go through the FB process for access.

I think the police need a warrant to look at social media, so perhaps that's the reason they haven't done it until now. Although I would have thought a warrant would be easy to obtain, maybe Facebook are not to easy to deal with.

Maybe they’ve allowed someone to incriminate themselves.
I think likely to just stop all the abuse and upsetting things for the family

Nah , I think they alerting public to fact they are taking over control now and editing /making changes so public don’t go bonkers when they see it happen and speculate Nicola is doing it from some secret bunker or something or pester family etc

No they have most likely been active on her socials from day one but announcing it today may stop a lot of the disgusting trolling and time wasting the police have had to deal with from the backlash of it

1- why do they need to release all the cctv of her? What does it add if she's seen walking past a neighbours address or driving? What does it add? She was seen and spoken to at school and in the field by independent people.

They don't have to, but in the past police in UK have released it. As an example see the still active case of Nathan Cole. Police released every footage they had of him; in the bus, walking, in a store.

I do not post often and please let me know if i am speculating against the rules.
There may have been very personal issues that PA made the Police aware of. I am not blaming either Nicola or her partner as all relationships go through stresses either from each individual, as a couple and from wider factors. Nicola could have had worries as we have all had and that morning or the night before expressed these. She may have been in a low state of mind on that morning and wonder if this would catergorise her at a high risk at that time.

"Nicola Bulley was immediately graded as 'high risk' missing person with specific vulnerabilities after vanishing on dog walk, say police - as they insist there is no evidence she was victim of crime."​

Police searching for Nicola Bulley insist no sign of 'third party'

Police looking for missing Nicola Bulley today reiterated their theory she tragically fell in the water and disclosed she was graded 'high risk' due to 'specific vulnerabilities'.

I hope NB is found soon

I read he went to an abandoned property before the sunday search (if I remember correctly)
It was supposedly between the Village hall and the Alpacas.
I looked on google maps and found this place with just a path to it, no road or driveway, straight down the road/path between the 2 buildings mentioned above.

Looks a very nice property on that photo but unfinished grounds?
all MOO

Yes that's the one. Thank you.

Maybe nb has had previous mental health issues and something during the work call was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. I very much doubt she would of jumped in the river where the phone was found either. She probably thought she had logged off the call but hadn't due to being distressed hence why it was still on the call. Jmo but I think she got some bad news on the call which pushed her over the edge and she's left everything where it was found and left, either entering the river in a more dangerous spot or leaving the area entirely.

Bit rude, rhino went out of way to help. I’m not feeling as considerate after that response.

Plenty of people take issue with the T

its definitely been written that it’s a form of victim blaming but tbh that’s splitting hairs, does help figure out what’s happened to NB, and a wast

i Was trying to help another poster understand why posts deleted. It’s because I’ve seen mods post that until mentioned official discussion of suicide was victim blaming and gainer victim friendly policy.

I’m no longer interested in helping and will just report to moderators in future, respectfully

Apologies if I’ve misunderstood, @Furore - was absolutely not my intention to offend.

Two things I picked up on today:

1. The Telegraph describes the press conference as "heated". I watched a few seconds of it - but it didn't seem particularly heated. It's interesting that the Telegraph picked up on this - there's been recent criticisms of the police handling of this case, and something I questioned very early on. Perhaps the police are getting a bit defensive in the face of some tough questioning.

2. We are now told that the person who found the phone also phoned the Vet for help (see screenshot). I didnt know this - did others know this? My understanding was that the lady who found the dog initially walked off, phoned her daughter who then phoned PA. This is the first mention of this phone call to the Vet AFAIK. What is strange is that my understanding was that the lady recognised the dog, and therefore knew how to get in contact with the owners - but the phone call to the Vets suggests she didn't know who owned the dog. Am I getting confused here, or do the waters get more and more muddy with every police presser (no pun intended).

EDIT: I think the woman being referred to here is the other person who saw the dog alone, not the lady who eventually called her daughter for help.

Relationship issues are the most common reason for people going missing, according to National Crime Agency (NCA) data for 2018-19.

I find this interesting. Along with the footage of NB, looking v unsmiling and pale, loading the car on that morning even though PA said he usually did it if NB was taking the kids to school, and PA's remembering everything being very organised and quiet that morning which was unusual, I am wondering if an argument had taken place and hence they were both behaving a bit out of character. Would telling the police there had been an argument make a missing person be classed as more 'vulnerable'? JMO.

I seem to remember from the press conference that the police mentioned the call NB was on, was more of a standard, regulatory type call. The way I read it, was that the call was for several people to listen in on, for information, maybe regulatory landscape, or new products, interest rates, new deals with main banks, whatever. It would not have been a call where NB got some personal bad news (e.g. lay offs, deals fallen through etc.)

That quote has all messed up and hopefully edited! You are always very polite - this is all detracting from NB and I just really want her back with her family. Frustrations boiling over!

And likewise no intention to offend or mislead. Poor mods must have a field day with this thread!

could this just mean that they do not think that the person voluntarilly left- e.g. some one with multiple residences and they took their phone, wallet, etc....

I’ve not seen any previous reference to phoning the vet.
