OMG they've found a body Lancashire police just put out statement.

I feel so silly for saying this but seeing that tweet made me shed a tear. NB’s case has really touched my heart, possibly because of the menopause and seeing my mum struggling with it. My heart is breaking for those two girls.

Same here I think I actually need a break from here. Her poor kids.

So, so sad

I just can’t understand if had been searched by both police divers and SGI, why wasn’t she located before. JMO.

Yes that is strange but I'm sure the police will be able to tell time of death, any evidence of foul play. No point speculating on here anymore if they have found her

Watching the news now- I feel for Nicola’s family and friends. How truly awful

Searching in water is a horrendously difficult task. I’ve followed all the discussion on here and much of the expert opinion has been that it could well be weeks down the line that any body would be recovered.

That's a good point. The tides could deposit a body in a location that is only submerged at high tide. In fact, the ebb and flow of the tides could move a body several times.

yes it's why the experts have always emphasised throughout the search period that it's a very complex river to search ( Plus snagging risks and buoyancy - refloat. Trying to not get too graphic here but....)

So sad.

IMO interesting there has just been a big tide. This could have dislodged the body I think.

Big spike in levels yesterday

That makes sense, especially since after three weeks a body would likely be in bloat stage and float to the surface.

Websleuths is very familiar with situations where bodies have been found within areas that have been searched multiple times, e.g. Lindsay Birbeck. Illustrates there are difficulties, complexities and no guarantees.

So sad if Nicola (or anyone else) RIP

 

[JosieJo]

Body been found on news

Confirmed BBC news, body found

 

[Belleville]

I’m sorry if this has been asked already but where the police and divers are searching now, is that after the weir? Or in the other direction? Thank you!

After the weir I was told.

 

[CriLondon]

Just awfully sad.

11:36 police were notified that a body was seen in the river

RIP Nicola

Thoughts are with her family especially those two children.
