Nicola Bulley Missing #5

[PhallusSizeMedium]

That sounds like no jacket I’ve ever had. Have you been into water with your duvet-filled jacket? How long did it keep you floating for?

The drop into the river at that point is about 10-12 feet, and there’s no way out because the banks are too steep. You couldn’t scrabble up any siding. Dropping into freezing cold water from 10 feet would knock the breath out of you to say the very least, and then you’ve only got a very short time before the cold completely incapacitates you.

I remember way back when I was 12 I was in sea cadets, theres alot of water based activities so before you are allowed in the water you have to do a "swim test". In the test you have to wear heavy clothing we were told jeans jumpers wellies or boots and a big coat, all absorbed the water very quickly . This is controlled in a pool may I add but non of us could swim the full length in the clothing and could barely keep afloat its extremley difficult , heavy and EXHAUSTING and as I said that was in a controlled environment and a warm pool with help if we needed it which we all did non of us could climb out the pool, cant even begin to imagine what would happen in a freezing cold river first thing in the morning alone

People have had to be told to stop going to the abandoned house to "look" for Nicola.

When did everyone become so bloody thick? Morons.

I will admit to being ‘curious‘ re someone’s body language when I very first became aware of this. I didn’t mention it to anyone cos I felt ashamed that I’d really thought it and I certainly didn’t go online posting my uninformed silly theory, it was just a fleeting ‘hmmm’.
It made me think that anything like this happened to me and ppl spoke to my husband everyone, even tattlers lol, would immediately all think he’d battered me, he’s got proper resting twat face (as I affectionately call it ). He just looks angry, esp talking to ppl he doesn’t know and he’s painfully shy, he would be mortified his life being so public. He’s a big softy really as well, just looks proper fumin all the time

A similar thing happened to me. My dog is absolutely obsessed with us but when we were burgled and attached he did absolutely nothing! ( Isn't it a awful feeling? It broke our hearts )

My dog was a darling a Cavalier King Charles, he was always by my side. I remember chasing after him trying to stop him going head first into brick wall, (we were staying in a holiday cottage) he just managed to miss it. I went arse over tit, then rolled down a little hill and just laid their thinking WTH, he went off to get his Bonio then climbed on top of me to eat it. To be fair he did stay by my side kind of.
I think some people (not directed at you, or Tattlers) are expecting a little too much from Willow, perhaps from watching Lassie

Thank you so much for that great update! Much appreciated.

I genuinely don’t think there’s a textbook reaction to this news. They’re probably still clinging on to the hope there’s no body and that she’ll be found somewhere but then that leads them down a terrible rabbit hole of abduction or murder. If he was crying it’d be guilt from some people. He’s probably going out of his mind and trying to keep it together for his girls. I just don’t think he can win here.

 

[raspberryjuice]

Anyone else got a headache?

Yes. And a great big hole in the wall from the repeated banging.

the detective in charge needs to step down immediately, this case has been a joke from the beginning. Her poor family. 2 weeks wasted because of police’s narrow minded instance it was a drowning. Family must feel sick to their stomachs that what they raised at the beginning is only now being acknowledged!

In fairness to the police, they have always said they’re investigating all possibilities. Yes drowning has been the most likely, but even yesterday they said they have 40 Detectives working on it - that’s not just people concentrating on the river.

 

[Jwren]

Unpopular opinion, but I think the harsh commentary towards sonar man Pater (forget his surname) are somewhat unjustified. Yes, what he is saying conflicts with the narrative the Lancaster police are leading with, but there is also every chance he could be bloody right. I have a lot of respect for him for showing up to help. I feel sorry for him. He is getting dogged online.

I don’t agree with the vile comments aimed at anyone but he’s rather brought it on himself and look at the criticism and vile comments the police are getting partly due to his public comments belittling them.
I respect your opinion but it’s not his job to be acting as if he’s leading this case. He‘s not privy to anymore detail than the public but he’s making his feelings known publicly and in a professional capacity, which is misleading. As some will take him at his word thinking he has more info, perhaps even more than the police have, which is not true and in my opinion his behaviour is unprofessional and could be damaging to this case, rather than helping.

Hi, so I've read so far that Peter guy is now finishing his search and concludes that Nicola is not in the river. He has stated that police and other teams will continue to search down river towards the bay. But he's adiment she would've never made it to the bay.

All this is so unsettling for me who is a total stranger to Nicola so cannot imagine how her family are feeling right now.

All I keep seeing is speculation and theories all over sm. I'm praying she's found soon so the family can at least have some closure.

My mental health atm is shocking, it's not a good time of year for me due to events happening in my own life at this time of year when I was a child, and this has also added to it. I don't know why though. People keep talking about abduction and it's really freaking me out. I hope she wasn't abducted, can you imagine her fear?

I haven't slept well at passed few nights since I started following this case. It's just so mysterious.

Her partner looks really worn out and frustrated bless him. People stating he doesn't look worried. He looks frustrated and confused and possibly doesn't want to think about his partner being deceased.

I keep checking the news every other hour for an update. If she's not found, then god knows what's happened to her.

You’re welcome to join us here

We have bad jokes (was the dog wet though?) and maybe a dark sense of humour at times but stick around because we’re also good company and lots of us () understand the mental health challenges xx

I don't understand why it's so hard to believe she fell into the river cause it's not that steep/she walked every day etc. I have fallen into puddles off the edge of a pavement before now These people never tripped over their own feet?!

 

[Spacemonkey1972]

I have RBF. Every where I walk I look like I’m in a foul mood. But I’m very happy with my husband. Just because she hasn’t got a shit eating grin on her face doesn’t mean she was unhappy ffs. Plus dropping kids off, dog to walk etc, her mind was on other things. I sadly think she’s gone into the water, I’m veering more towards a trip right into water or a faint as there was no marks on the bank. It’s sad and I feel for her family. I hope they get something soon. No closure is awful

It was suggested yesterday that NB did that walk many, many, times, so she wouldn’t fall in the river. It reminded, I know my garden inside out, one summer in daylight I went outside lost my footing and fell backwards into the kids paddling pool No one was home, which in this case I was relieved about as I must have looked a right muppet. Although after I’d removed myself from said pool! … I did stroll back into the house as if nothing happened just in case a neighbour saw me from a bedroom window 🫣 ….although I was drenched, so not sure that wouldn’t have given it away.

Exactly this. Accidents happen no matter how well you know your route and how used to something you are. I walk the same route to and from work 5x a week, I also walk the same route to the pub, the shops etc on the other days as they’re in the same area. At least once a day I walk the same route there and back and have done for the just over 8 years I’ve lived here. So about 3000 times there, and 3000 back. Same paths, same roads to cross, same steps to walk up/down, same alleyway and same cut through. I’ve done it in sunshine, torrential rain, snow, gale force wind and ice. I go past the same trees, step over the same drains, dodge the same bit of bush that sticks out across the path half the year. I could do the walk with my eyes closed, in my sleep, and have done it so intoxicated I’m surprised I woke up the next day. But one day, in daylight, in sensible shoes, in dry weather conditions, doing my same walk I’ve done thousands of times I tripped over nothing and broke my ankle.

We all walk through the same doorways, around the same furniture etc hundreds of times a week but sometimes we will misjudge and stub a toe, catch an arm, stretch too far, bang your head etc. It takes a split second for an accident to happen. And this accident has clearly had a massive, devastating outcome. But it is very likely just that, an accident, a misjudged step, a lean to far, a stumble over a dog running around…

 

[raspberryjuice]

He’s grieving.

And he probably is reading a script. He was absolutely torn to shreds and accused of all sorts last time he spoke to the media. He will have been terrified of that repeating.

But here we go again…

 

[Toffeebythesea]

Nicola's partner has been to the scene today,also I heard a voice note he'd sent to sky news,sounds like he's reading it from a script,sounds like no emotion whatsoever ,also listening to he's interview and the sisters one too,they both say the exact same words with no emotion,also see a picture where sister & boyfriend in picture arms around each other,with Nicola at the other end something isn't right here

I'd probably read from a script of my partner went missing? I literally wouldn't be able to independently string words together especially with the entire world focusing on my every word.

 

[gummy-bear]

Sorry to go back to the dog (pretty sure it’s a trigger word by now) but if I found a random dog roaming with a collar I would take the dog to either my house or a vets to ensure it was safe! How bizarre that this woman thought the appropriate thing to do here was to die her up with string and then piss off imagine someone had stolen willow!

 

[squatternutbosh]

Yeah I'd be worried it would end up a bait Dog or something. We're just going to have to go with the Woman who left it there has no soul.

If I saw a dog off the leash and I was running late for a doctors/GP appointment which took me 100 different telephone calls & 6 months to get sorry but I too would tie the dog up and inform a third party to deal with it. I’m sure the woman who discovered willow didn’t even in her wildest dreams think that this could turn into a high profile missing person scenario

 

[Crybaby Tania]

My late aunt used to live near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.
Daniel Entwistle disappeared near the river there in 2003, he was only seven years old. Daniel has sadly never been found, there was a massive river and sea search. There were many, many theories about what could have happened to him. My aunt always hoped that he would be found safe and well.
This case about Nicola has made me think of that poor little boy. So very sad for both families.

 

[Jwren]

🫣 God forbid the Police ever need to look at my iPad history with all the things I’ve googled over the last few days being on this thread

 

[Allmyownopinion]

Don’t know if I’m reading the wacky comments too much & it’s sent me loopy too, but honestly I’m starting to think she was never at that bloody river myself now! This honestly is such a tragic, confusing case I’ve got a strong feeling something totally bizarre & unbelievable is going to come out in the next few days as to the whole timeline of events we’ve been looking at is wrong & deliberately misleading………
