but didn't they already try that, didn't work?
Yes, I heard/read somewhere that even when you are taking own life by entering water naturally your body still fights to save you so you cannot instantly drown. there may well be some splashing etc. So I suspect NB would have gone towards past the weir where there is less people that can notice her (not where there are regular dog walkers)
yes and it was endless peculation in the media (including MSM) that may have put more pressure on them
Did they? Can you point me please. Kidnaps get an embargo letter. I thought there were just the press conferences in the Nicola disappearance.
Thanks. I know why they said they released it, I am pointing out that not only did it breach her private, medical and confidential rights, it also did nothing to support their overall number 1 stated aim - to find NB.
but the release of the information didn't breach her rights under law or common law.

And case my reply wasn’t clear I was saying in reply to someone saying police might have to do more press conferences and briefings, that an embargo letter might suffice and be quicker and cheaper And a WS said they tried that but it didn’t work. Yes I know why police said they expanded on “vulnerabilities.” But I wasn’t aware they/if they did/ send a letter to editors and newsdesk..well, and TV.
I wonder if certain contracts are being discussed!Former ITN editor-in-chief Stewart Purvis, who has also worked as a senior Ofcom executive, said: "I think the whole issue of how you approach the families of those who have suffered, who are suffering from the disappearance and possibly the death of a loved one, is a continuing issue in the media."
He said the lack of a public response from ITV or Sky News suggested they were "uncomfortable with the position they are in".
"I'm sure they don't want to get into a public row with the family, but if they had a proper defence of this situation, I think we would have heard it from them by now, and I'm sure they're clustered in a group at the moment trying to work out what to say," he added.
Apologising would be a good start...
Nicola Bulley: Ofcom 'extremely concerned' by family media complaints
The broadcasting regulator writes to ITV and Sky News "to ask them to explain their actions".
I would hope so.
One of the justifications for when police may step out of the usual boundaries re privacy or similar is when it is deemed necessary in order to protect individuals from harm. For instance (not specifically in this case) it might be that individuals, or certain individuals, might be receiving threats of harm from people who have misplaced beliefs that they have committed a crime. I expect that the reason behind that release of personal information will be disclosed at some point. I think we should be patient, and judge whether the decision was right or wrong when the facts are known.
The press have been very quick to jump all over the police but quite slow to examine their own behaviour during their investigation.
I appreciate what you wrote, it's very important insight.
Mail & Times cut the ' offending' paragraphs from coverage
She was apparently found in the reeds. Therefore, it's said, not IN the river. I'm still wary of speculating as the family's had enough of that. I just don't remember bad weather that day so I'm thinking it was a fall. I don't want to think anyone who stayed camp site has anything to do with it - which is very near by. It's all so sad.I am thinking about Naya Rivera — although in a more difficult to search and deeper body of water, I understand they only found her once her body rose to the surface. Sounds like how NB was found. It’s difficult to find bodies in bodies of water so this became more of a mystery than it might have been. She must (barring foul play which I think will shortly be ruled out) have been there the whole time
Oh! Excuse my ignorance but do you mean in the UK? I thought it did breach her rights.
