I do think the phone being left has thrown people off, I don’t personally think I would sit my phone on the bench in that situation, I’d put it in my back pocket most likely.. but maybe others wouldn’t 🤷🏼‍♀️
It’s another one of those things like the body language. It really isn’t relevant because some people would take it, some wouldn’t. So unless you are Nicola in that exact moment of time you have no idea what she’d do and the significance of it.

She was wearing an ankle length coat so she’d have to hitch it up quite high to get her phone in her back pocket

I thought the phone was on the ground and the lady who found it put it on the bench 🤔
If it was on the ground more plausible that she dropped it in a hasty movement .. I really don't know. Thinking of her family.

Well thousands of people have just died or remain under the rubble in Turkey and Syria..
Oh of course, and rightfully so that is the headline across all platforms. But even on smaller news sites it’s on there as a smaller story. I had just assumed with the ongoing of this it would still remain live on there. In no way am I implying that this story is bigger than the sheer devastation that’s happened in Turkey/Syria today. Heartbreaking.

Only if it’s known that the person has MH difficulties. Some people are extremely skilled at maintaining their usual day-to-day lives and ‘keeping up appearances’ without anyone else knowing there’s a problem.

To be clear - I’m absolutely not suggesting that this is the case for Nicola.
So true, High functioning depression in women should never be underestimated , we are skilled at not wanting to worry our parents or we put on a good face around friends when inside you could be desperate for change or help, doubt this is the case here but I guess on some level everything will be considered.

Ex crime commissioner thinks things don't add up either and doesn't understand why police are ruling out other options

Anyone surprised all these supposed ‘experts’ questioning the police (aka the authority on the case) are sprouting from GB news? 🤢

That Peter Faulding guy makes me a bit sick to be honest. All over every news outlet giving his opinion when he’s not part of the investigation. Talking about getting a bad vibe of people. He’s one for me.
I’m way back with this thread today but he made me cross yesterday when he said the police investigation is a 'mess'. He may have worked with the police in the past but I doubt he’s privy to the inner workings of this investigation so he has NO evidence of that.

TBH he just appears as wanting his 5 minutes of fame or advertising his equipment for future work. If he’s so sure of it, he should get himself up to the river and beg the police to search and pay for it himself.

Sorry, I didn't realise that.

I find it odd that the police and some people here are absolutely adamant that there is no foul play involved or any other situation other than an accident. I mean, it probably is an accident but how is everyone who is 100% certain so sure? Right from the start as well.
History repeating itself, re Noah Donohue case in Belfast 😠

Just saw a comment on Lancs Police’s post, from someone saying “fair enough they’ve checked the river but they haven’t checked in the sea have they?!”

What are they expecting the police to do? Check all of the sea…..? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, I am aware of that, thanks. But information is changing all of the time and there have been conflicting accounts.
Not really. Just people making assumptions. There was a poster on the earlier thread saying Willow was found on an estate but when the article was linked here the report said 'the dog was found running loose off Garstang Road'.

I googled the area and Garstang Road is the main road going through the entire village with the river walk off of that. So 'off Garstang Road' may have been technically correct, but someone who doesn’t listen or read it properly interprets it incorrectly and quotes it here as fact.

Someone also said they’d seen an interview with a friend of Nicola's saying Willow was found running around an estate but couldn’t find the link when asked, probably because they’d heard incorrectly?

on this thread I think the majority of conflicting accounts have actually come from posters misinterpreting the news, be it tv or newspaper.

How are these two cases similar? I think most people agree that the circumstances surrounding Noah’s death are very odd and it’s arguable that him being a mixed-race Catholic boy contributed to the mismanagement of the case. This case is entirely different I think.

When some one has MH and they go missing don't they usually say this person is vulnerable. Not seen them mention this.
However they could be withholding some information
Everyone has ‘mental health’ just the same as they do ‘physical health’.

I’m still thinking about this awful situation.

What I have been thinking is based on this.

9.10am (approximately) – A witness – somebody who knows Nicola – saw her on the upper field walking her dog, Willow. Work is ongoing today to establish exactly what time this was.

so that’s *approximately* 9.10am. Could have been earlier?

We know she logged on to the conference call at 9.01 and it was still connected to that call at 9.30.

But.. just because the phone and dog were found at / near the bench doesn’t mean she was there. I reckon there’s possibly at least a 25/30 minute window?
i think it’s correct that no one saw Nicola at the river?

I just feel that a ten minute window is significantly different to a 25/30 minute window.
No, the 10 minute window is that at 9.20am Nicola's phone was back at the bench. The police therefore have tracked her phone's movements and know when it was last moved near the bench.

this is from Lancs Police's page. I remember them saying it in the press conference last week.

As we’re rapidly approaching the end of this thread, is there anything additional to go in the recap for the next one?

SGI assisting with the search of course

We’ve not ruled out Willow yet, seeing as people still talk about the harness and why she didn’t jump in the water 🤦🏼‍♀️

Very odd the dog was off the lead. There are signs everywhere saying dogs must be kept on a lead. It's private land, used for livestock, not a public park.

One review here stating dogs are not welcome off the lead: https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?page=3&revid=3364
It’s pretty standard for a campsite to have a rule that dogs must stay on lead, so that review isn’t surprising.

In terms of the wider area and fields where Nicola and Willow walked, unless there was livestock at the time I don’t think there’s an issue with a dog under close-control off-lead.
It’s normal for dogs to be off-lead, as long as there isn’t livestock. Totally different if for example there were sheep.

Where abouts are the signs?
