Was she right at the top of the bank when walking? It looks like she may have had time to stop herself if she fell all the way down. I guess that's why the sudden medical emergency makes sense.

What scenario do you think is more likely then?
I thought i’d read someone picked it up and put it there (?) I wondered if i would have done the same. A shoe/hat/glove yes but I think phones/car keys/wallets etc i would have took with me keep safe for someone and hope they were contactable via social media
that would also be my first thought but a phone and a dog alone. Raises question marks.
the phone on its own or the dog on it’s own yeah but both together 😓

Right but would you call the police or assume the dog had gone missing/got lost?
Yes calling the police immediately does seem an extreme reaction, that’s why my initial thoughts were that there’s more behind it, maybe MH crisis, but I can’t get past her leaving the dog like that.

I guess because her phone was still connected to the call, and there was no sign of Nicola, that was worrying enough. I do think if I went on a dog walk and someone found my phone connected to a call that had ended and I was nowhere to be seen, people would panic.

I think I would call the police if there was no response from my partner. Did they find the dog and the phone at the same time?
I don't know. Yes thats what I mean if someone bought your dog back surely the first thing you'd do is call the person who was walking the dog?

I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ there is a lot of coverage though isn’t there and I don’t mean that in a horrible way either
Missing White Woman Syndrome Media love this kid of tit. TV shows get viewers, websites get clicks, and commentators boost their profiles. I was scrolling through tiktok earlier and that Mark Williams-Thomas popped up give his tuppence worth. Basically a 50 second update, missing out a ton of information that was given at the press conference, and at the end piped "Follow me every day for more updates":rolleyes: And the comments were just as dumb as everywhere else.

I absolutely would worry.

Yes as my first reaction would probably be to alert the original dog walker that the dog was safe and to make their way home. I also thought an adult was left 24 hours before the police do anything for a ‘missing person’

Yes I’d all the things that I think are explainable the only thing I can’t is the woman finding her phone and tying the dog to a bench because she had an appointment.

But they found the dog and the lead and harness and phone all close together didn’t they? I’m really confused actually about whether the same person found the dog and the phone. I thought it was the same person but then the reporting has confused me.

Would you not have a quick look round for the owner esp if a mobile was also there?

I totally get this. My mum was in intensive care not expected to survive a few months ago with my sis and I at her bedside. My sister knocked her head on a lamp and we laughed to the point of being hysterical while being in the most awful environment. We kept apologising inbetween but genuinely couldn’t stop. I’m sure it was the shock
I laughed with nerves at my grandads funeral, to the point everyone started laughing. The vicar even used it in her future eulogies, sometimes giggles are just an expression of heightened emotion

Yeah I can’t work that out at all. And calling her daughter in law to ask whose dog it was.

I dont think there is anyone else in involved - if she was snatched there would be signs of struggle. My gut is that she ran off and committed suicide somewhere. I don’t buy the whole going in the water scenario - the dog would have gone to her if she’d fallen in. It’s so tragic that after a week no one knows anything

I've read so many different things.
The phone AND harness on the bench.
Phone under a tree behind the bench, harness on floor. Phone under tree behind the bench, harness on bench.
No wonder people are so confused.

I think in a week or so something else will come up. Evidence wise I mean. I hope it does. It’s still early days at the mo

How dare you have a different opinion to the water or murder theory.... you will be certainly set upon now by that Shaker person. 🤣😁

There's nowhere to go to commit suicide far enough (especially in the short space she went missing) where police wouldn't of found her yet, it has been a week. Suicide hasn't crossed my mind for a minute.

Speaking as someone who owns is owned by a springer spaniel I cannot say this clearly enough - you can’t say with any certainty that Willow would have jumped into the river even if she saw Nicola in the water.

There was a massive drop. Spaniels are wimps.

There was no incentive for a dog to jump in (I mean a tennis ball - not a person)

Nicola (if she fell) would likely have been under water very quickly and not reappeared - Willow wouldn’t have seen her again to decide ‘this is fun’

The water was cold. Spaniels are wimps.
