Sad to think but could be true, before Nicola went missing whenever I was hormonal and stressed I would often say to my family that i "might just go on a walk and never come back" , since this has happened with Nicola though ive not said it once, feel awful I even ever said it now and will never say it again, but yes i can see where youre coming from.

To be blunt, surely she would smell of booze when talking to folk on the day?
At the rate the new disclosures are coming, I would not be surprised to hear she’d gone missing whilst drunk in the past.
The wording of the release is strange to me - ‘no one has been arrested in connection with this but we are continuing with inquiries’. Obviously Nicola wasn’t/can’t be arrested, so who are they referring to? And why mention arrest?
So just maybe that while alcohol was obviously an issue in her life, she hadn’t actually drunk any that morning.
We've all been speculating for weeks.....nobody has any bleeping facts. It's all speculation. Isn't that what this site is for? To discuss? The Police don't even have facts.
Ok so now im confused. If she had been drinking she more than likely fell in the river so why does Paul think she's not in the river. And why does he say to search every building? And why does he think "someone must know" when all along he knew more than anyone and didnt disclose it. Had the facts been clear from the start maybe her body would have been found by now and all this speculating would never have happened.
I only said this as I suspect that’s the way TikTok and Facebook detectives are going to go because it’s more entertaining
It was also my first thought when reading. I’m actually surprised this has been revealed by the neighbours
It is inexcusable, anyone would agree with that but there is nothing to say she has done that or that Paul had to prevent such a thing from happening.
My point is that I imagine comments like your original one, are why the family may not have wanted to reveal her struggles, when she was clearly already struggling. People put 2 and 2 together and end up with 5.
Don’t want to derail the thread or something to become argumentative so let’s just leave it there
If someone has significant issues with booze they will know all the tricks, mouthwash, mints, saying “Had a few glasses of wine with dinner last night and not has a chance to shower yet”.
A close family member of mine was an alcoholic, I’ve heard it all
I think questioning whether she was drunk driving and with her kids is pretty insulting tbh. Yes she may have had alcohol problems but it doesn’t mean she was drunk 100% of the time. I think this update is incredibly sad and I take my hat off to Paul and her friends for protecting her for so long. For those questioning why it was released… how is this a huge surprise given the amount of scrutiny and stalking they’ve all received. They’ve probably been advised to release these details at this stage.
My heart goes out to Nicola and it makes me really sad thinking of what she was going through on that morning.

Lancashire police has gone way down in my respect for them by doing this. There was no need to release this information to the media and public and it smells to me like the police trying to shift some of the negative attention away from themselves by throwing out a bone for everyone to discuss. Poor Nicola, imagine having your personal life discussed over by window lickers.
I wondered this too.
Wondering about the other incident where the police were called and then the bruise on Paul’s face?
Why would her body be more likely to be found had the public known this information?? The police already knew, and they havnt found a body
I don’t know where all this she was drunk that morning stuff is coming from? We don’t know that. Just because she had alcohol issues does not mean she was constantly drunk
Mrs String and her DIL were named on Reddit and DIL and Nicola are Facebook friends. DiL.is on the schools governors board ... along with Emma ... and another of Nicolas friendsJust catching up, but why not ring the number on Willows collar? It's a legal requirement to have the details on there.
Why in 1.5hrs did not one other passer by see the dog tied up, when Paul says it's a popular walking spot?
Mrs String said she couldn't unlock the phone, but DIL String just happens to recognise the screensaver and knows exactly which school to ring?
If she knew the school then she'd surely know where Paul lived and who Nicola was, so why not ring the police and go to his house with Willow? If you know what school the children went too, then you're close enough to knock on his door personally.
In the 2021 census 682 people lived in St Michaels, and the one person who just happened to be contacted and bothered to look at the phone knew who it belonged too, but Mrs String didn't. Yet Paul says that when out walking you know exactly who a stranger is
My head still just keeps going back to 9.20 to 10.50 and I've so many questions....
But to go on the outraged riff based on your post is not speculation. It borders somewhat as slander on someone increasingly being revealed as quite a vulnerable individual.
I think they are just trying to state that even though it looks like they haven't done all they can, that they have, are and are still investigating any possible lead. The media frenzy has caused them to have to say something.
I wonder if her friends regret using the media quite so heavily now.
When you sup with the devil, take a long spoon.
