Nicola Bulley

Forums New posts
Sky News correspondent has been in touch with the family via text who responded with they are 'incredibly heartbroken' which seems to imply it's as feared. Still waiting official announcements. Very sad for the family.

Maybe a Freeview channel? Could have regional ones for different areas of the UK? A main update at set points in the day/week like the evening news only focused on finding people.

It seems like folk in Edinburgh only need to be 'missing' about 4-5hrs before their name is being posted online by the Evening News and most of the time they are found. I thought someone had to be missing 24hrs before officially they could become a missing person but obviously not.

The Edinburgh Evening News type missing person appeals will appear in local newspapers throughout the country but most missing person cases will be quickly resolved by the local Police with more long running cases handled by specialist Police missing person departments.
 
Almost a day, and still no word either way on the identification of the body found.
You get the feeling there is more to this story, not necessarily sinister or bad, but there's a few things to come out.
 
The impression is that it will be simple press conference, confirming Nicola has been found, with no questions being taken.

Sounds like the circus is nearing the end.
 
The body of the woman found in the river Wyre now confirmed as Nicola Bulley.
RIP.
 
That was a pretty hard hitting statement from the family.

"We'll take it from here" brutal.

RIP Nikki

I still don’t understand how she would leave her phone on the bench/table .
If she was just walking the dog, she would have had it on her person at all time , one would have thought ?

Tricky.
I have phoned my missus, which resulted in her throwing her phone away.
True story.

More than once actually.

I would have thought , you would be badly advised to leave your phone , switched on and unattended 😳.

joking apart, it’s seems a very tame river , for a reasonably young , fit healthy person to fall in and instantly drown .

It was a vertical drop into a 4°c river flowing fast enough to carry her body at a metre per second. That tube from the search company has a lot to answer for, there's still wild speculation now, even after the evidence heard at the inquest, thanks to all his pish saying the body wouldn't have moved far and his team would have found it.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the purpose of the inquest, but I think it’s saying that on the available evidence the most likely explanation is an accident? Nobody knows what really happened.

I think that's right, I don't think it's within the inquest's remit to speculate how the accident happened. My guess would be, though, that she was on a work call, the dog got too close to the water, she put the phone down to go and fetch it and somehow fell in. The shock of the cold incapacitated her and she couldn't get back up the steep bank.

Yeah, all known factors point to that as the logical explanation.

I presume the post mortem revealed death by drowning, no marks of violence, no evidence of strangulation, no evidence of poisoning and no evidence of a violent struggle. They know she was on a conference call and left her phone for some reason and the likelihood is events took place very close to how Rocky described them. A tragic accident.

Enquiry now complete, no mention as to why her body was never found earlier than it was after all the searches that were done all along the river. 🤷‍♂️

I don't believe for a minute that her body was in the river all that time.. it was repeatedly searched by expert divers with high tech equipment and helicopters... yet she was found 3 weeks later by some random guy just lying in the reeds

Why did it take so long for the body to be found? More to this than meets the eye methinks.

It’s certainly possible, not to mention an increased sense of incompetence by a much maligned Police Force. The family have a lot of unanswered questions.
