Lots in the media suggesting she can’t possibly have fallen in, no sign of slippage, she was a good swimmer etc.
What is unusual is that she was missing for a relatively short time only .
To me it seems perfectly plausible she slipped or fell on a grass covered bank and little mark would have been left on the ground. She might have dropped something near the bank and slipped trying to retrieve it. She may have been unable to get out with soaked heavy clothing. River beds in the UK are very slippery and muddy with sediment. It is quite plausible she decided to try and swim up or downstream to find a better place to climb out. Even a very strong swimmer would have great difficulty in winter clothing in very cold water. She might well have moved out of the immediate area that the divers have been able to thoroughly search.
I suspect if she had suffered an accident on land she would have been found by now given the extensive search and the dog would have been found with her.
If there had been foul play how could someone have possibly moved her in the short time available ? (Unless she was missed by ground search , which can happen ) . The time available for her disappearance leaves I think few possibilities.
Terribly sad
