The disappearance of Nicola Bulley

I can't imagine what her family, particularly her children, are going through right now.

A true nightmare, for a person to suddenly disappear, absolutely awful.

I know, the kids are only young. I hope they find her, if only for some closure.

Of course her family will deny the worst and hope she is alive, family are not reliable sources of what happened because their opinions are skewed by emotions. The media have run with this and gone for the police haven't got a clue and have tunnel vision story etc.

Something similar happened around here, a guy that worked at the local supermarket fell in a stream, they knew roughly where he fell in from his phone's last location/he'd been at a friends house (which was next to a bridge), there was only one route it could go because the stream joins a river and no chance of it hitting the sea or a lake for a very long time.
IIRC it still took them nearly 2 months to find the body despite a very intensive search with the searchers going down the river/stream multiple times including once the water had dropped enough walking side by side across the whole width of it..
From memory he was found when the water level dropped.
...

People tend to have no idea how fast/powerful even "shallow" water can be (about 20-30cm of fast flowing water can be enough to knock you over from memory), or how hard it can be to find a body in water.

People drown in the Taff, after a Big Night Out, fairly often. Generally they will take a few days to find the body, even when they fall in in central Cardiff. The taff isn't particularly deep, especially upriver.

My local brook is a few inches deep most of the time. After a few hours of heavy rain it becomes a dangerous torrent. I stay well back from the edge when it is in spate.
 
So awful to not know.

These rivers are so dangerous though. The river Strid near me is one of the most dangerous in the world with it's mortality rate.

Did spend some time playing in that stretch when a bit younger and never knew just how deadly it could be :(

It's not like the police don't have a reputation for searching all over the place only to find the body under their nose.

The case of Shannon Matthews comes to mind that the cops searched the house previously that she was subsequently found hiding under a bed inside.

She was on a call sitting on the bench. Her falling in the river isn't really a stand out theory. It is a theory yes. But I wouldn't be ruling out other theories at this early stage.

Why would she fall in the river when she was sat on the bench in a conference call? I can imagine if her phone was on the floor next to the river. It seems like an unusual sequence of events had to happen for the polices theory to become a reality.

Have the police searched the area?

Some people say she might have fallen in getting her dog from the river. But if her dogs out then unless she jumped in then she wouldn't be in as you'd lean back to safety to pull the dog out.

I could imagine someone might have pushed her in i.e. someone stopped to talk to her, and she put the phone on mute and on the bench. Then the idiot pushed her in the river. As we know idiots are pushing random people on to train tracks at stations these days. I've heard of people being pushed in to canals too. That would be a more likely way to be in the river than she just fell in.

As regards Shannon Matthews, me and the ex lived next to their skanky estate so ended up as part of the search, I probably met the mother when i ventured to the off licence there to buy some white lightning, the party they had on her been found was crazy
 
r.e kidnapping how could someone have taken her in broad daylight with other dog walkers etc?

Seems too risky too me

Also this seems high profile because woman and good looking etc

In case of the many cases not reported on news would the same level of searches and investigation be carried out?

Two things spring to mind regarding this missing person case:

Firstly, my New Year Resolution this year has been to do regular cold water swims in a local lake. I've been several times now and, although I'm slowly getting more used to the shock of the cold water each time I go, it's hard to explain how disabling it actually is. The first time I went it took nearly all my energy just to try to breathe properly and not gasp, let alone actually swim. If she went in wearing one of those sleeping bags with arms which are fashionable this winter, I think it's completely plausible that she sadly drowned very quickly, and quietly :(

Secondly, and I really hope that I'm wrong, but something bugs me about the interview with Paul, Nicola's partner. I appreciate that people deal with trauma in different ways, and I can't imagine how I'd cope if I were in his situation, I probably wouldn't cope very well at all, but something about it just doesn't sit right:

Adding random punctuation doesn’t make your “evidence” more compelling. All it shows is they have run a series of modest businesses and recently incorporated a new one. This happens all the time.

I'm having difficulty parsing this. What are you trying to say here? I see the Police have released a statement slamming the social media noise so I assume this is related somehow to your ... sentence.
