and these days you wouldn’t be considered out of place wearing a face mask.

Yes, actually that is an excellent point.

It’s not stated if it’s a hole so I don’t know do you have link?

I'll try get a link but all the videos I have seen show that a dog could get through the fence closest to the river.

 

[Cuko]

Yes, possibly. PA also knew what time she would usually get back. Going off the time she went missing that would give her an hour approximately to leave the area.
I’m starting to lean towards her leaving now. JMO

IIRC, in his TV interview PA mentioned that usually one parent would get the kids ready for the car ride and the other parent would get Willow the dog ready and into the car. Yet on the morning NB went missing it seems she did all of that. If I’ve understood that correctly, she would then have had no problem popping a bag into the car? JMO

If NB had have gone past the weir in order to go into the river and the dog had followed her, there's a good chance the dog could have gone back to where it's harness and lead was. Its daily routine was to have the harness put back on at the gate and what would have been confusion for the dog IMO (owner in the river) the dog reverted back to the behavioral pattern it was familiar with.
This could explain PF not finding NB. The Police dive team arrived at 1pm AFAIK. So that's nearly 4 hours in the tidal part of the river before Police divers began their search

That would've been caught on doorbell footage though, wouldn't it?

I’ve seen videos and behind the bench, it’s open. There’s the gate the bench the tree and the rickety wooden fence. I thought at first the dog was like trapped in between a gate and a fence and that’s why he was found running back and forth, but it looks like it’s all open! IMO

More awareness and treatment instead of letting a woman become a shell of herself by the time she’s through peri menopause.

By chance I read a mag article in GP waiting room. Asked GP if it was true it could cause memory loss - not just 'brain fog'. Was referred to HRT clinic at age 41 and took HRT for 10 years. Lifesaver. Memory was the ONLY symptom and the lack of awareness/education bugs me. Sorry if off topic

It was written in a statement on Lancashire police site. I don’t think I have actually heard it said? JMO

Yes, there was footage of getting Willow in the car but the interior of the car wasn’t all visible.

I can’t post the you tube link that shows a 360 standing right next to the bench. I was thinking the bench area was fenced in but it’s not like that at all!

 

[Interested_But_Confused]

Yes that also makes sense. I guess what I’m wondering is if NB was the victim of DV on Jan 10th, the lack of actions by the police that night may also have led to her disappearing. IMO.

TBH, I think IOPC would be investigating either way. Whatever the visit on Jan 10 was about, IMO they'd have to find out if NB's subsequent disappearance could have been prevented. They visited. She has disappeared. Did they make a mistake?

 

[pineapple23]

Thank you, I must have missed that. Will search back.

Yes, that’s right although the home CCTV would maybe show if she had done that.
However, if she has planned it then I guess she could have done it the night before when she went out to meet her boss.
I might be completely off target but with the issues that have come to light now and especially with the police visit I know I’d probably feel like just running away. JMO

For me, the biggest pointer to it being an accident or fall into the river has always been the dog being persistently present at the bench location.

‘Loyalty’ is quite simply how they operate. Pack leader is all important.

That’s the biggest clue there is IMO.

 

[Coach]

I pray that Nicola is in hiding and alive. If she is found in the river or the sea, is it a case that they might never be able to tell for sure if it was an accident? Given that she dropped the girls off safely at school, would she not have wanted to leave Willow at home to keep her safe too, this could still be a tragic accident. It is so sad that with all the details revealed now, people will speculate and jump to the conclusion of her voluntarily and deliberately going in the river, if she is found in the water but it could have been an accident. Just because there were some ongoing issues, it does not mean she definitely took her own life. JMO.

I suspect the whole "running between the gate and bench" detail is also slightly misleading. The gate(s) and bench are so close together that Willow was possibly just running around in circles, not really trying to go anywhere.

God forbid this poor woman has gone from vanished loving mum out walking her dog to a being menopausal lush. Beyond sad to hear this type of comic strip trash is occurring

I cannot like this post enough @Cluella DeVille .
This all smacks of Innuendo. Well, she drinks and she was experiencing menopause - OMG how many women do I personally know that could describe. Victimize the victim imo since you have no clue where to go with this - or maybe its just to deflect. I notice when a woman goes missing there is oftentimes a default to.. Well, she may have been emotional and needed time to herself or self harm or drugs/alcohol etc etc.
Even if she was unstable( which imo has nothing to do with it) - unstable people get snatched too lol. I do not think she is in the river. The strangest part to me is her phone being on the bench still tuned in to her call. Was she sitting on that bench when someone put her in a chokehold from behind and rendered her unconscious then walked off with her? Who knows! Has there been any mention of her family getting a private eye? I have been following the news but not this sub as closely. Thanks ALL JMO

I hope she is alive somewhere too.

I searched and couldn't find this mentioned before.
Could the water bottle she was carrying that morning be a clue that she was planning on taking an overdose?
