The disappearance of Nicola Bulley

In 99% of criminal/Police cases, the obvious and most logical conclusion is the actual outcome.
Only a tiny tiny percentage of cases are some weird convoluted criminal novel with twists and turns, which explains fully the police handling of the case. They have seen it all before.
Now more personal information comes out that she had issues, the police likely came to the conclusion that it was self inflicted.
The question is if you were depressed and wanted to end it all, is drowning yourself in a river really the way to achieve it?
Maybe she put her phone down, decided enough was enough, perhaps was heavily under the influence, walked further up the river past the weir, jumped in, and the rest is history, washed out to sea.
This seems the most plausible explanation now knowing the personal turmoil she was experiencing. I can see why the police kept painful personal things like this out of the rabid public sphere.

I agree, this seems to be the Police's reasoning behind divulging these personal details. I would like to know what the other attendees of the Teams meeting found her demeaner to be like?

This is still not sitting well with me. Look at Nicola Bulley - 45, beautiful, bright eyed, fresh faced, no wrinkles, looks 10 years younger. Doesn't strike me as a long standing alcoholic. I know women that booze and they don't look like this at 45.

I suspect she's more likely got a coke addiction, which might explain their financial difficulties. Maybe drug debts and she was bumped off by the dealer or being held to ransom, so the friend Emma set up the 100k Gofundme?

Or fell in the water after doing a line on the bench.

My god and people are saying "look at the Karrens on Twitter!" I suggest you look no further than OCUK for terrible takes :rolleyes:

I'm thinking she walked in where the dog was (as the dog stayed there) and she swam downstream a bit. The cold and drowning got her after 15-30 minutes. It certainly explains a lot e.g. no scream, leaving everything behind.

I'm hoping the police come up with ways to tackle the idiots with far fetched theories.
 
He has a point. Not sure why the public needed to know this level of detail really.
 
Nah people who speculate online should clearly be sent to the gulags.

It just shows how everyone is fundamentaly affected by their own internal biases.

Take for example robgmun above (not meaning to pick on you specifically Rob, but you poked your head above the parapet :p )

Complains about the "lefty cancel culture"

Defends the toxic environment of Andrew Tate, with freedumb of speech arguments and the right to be offensive.

Wants to cancel mumsnet due to its toxic culture (that isn't reflective of his beliefs)

???

Profit
 
It seems there's only a tiny minority here with "issues" unlike most places.
That's why generally I like this place

You need a few undesirables to maintain that these people exist in the real world. And of course for memes

To stop the rampant speculation by the public!

He drinking/being depressed does make sense. What did Sherlock say? "when you have eliminated all which is impossible...", and yet no one made the jump to "she was drunk" or "she wanted to die".

Isn't it fairly standard to reveal mental health issues in missing persons cases?

The criticism should be that they should have done this straight away which would have probably prevented a lot of the hysteria around the case and also clarified why the river theory was most popular.

Just been a Copper on Lorraine explaining that because they didn't give out all details they are getting over a 1000 calls a day of speculation.

maybe they were trying to prevent the family from having to deal with the private details of her personal life plastered over the media. it's my guess they hoped they would have found here body quite quickly and could have closed the whole thing without having to spill such personal details. but that's just my guess.
