The disappearance of Nicola Bulley

[Meddling-Monk]

The dog wasn't wet.

Whilst the dog may not have been wet, this doesn't eliminate the possibility the dog was dangerously close to the river at the time and Nicola may have gone to get the dog back up away from the river before the unfortunate happened.

The dog wasn't wet.

Maybe he had a towel?

On Nicola's Facebook page there are photos of the dog playing in the river. So there is a good chance she could have got in the river to get the dog.

smokedog never said that. I was replying to smokedog.

Do you think it'll always be a mystery as to whether it was an accident or suicide?

I still reckon the dog did it

Well I do wonder if indirectly it did.
Maybe she stood up to do something in regards the dog, check it or something and somehow tripped over it.

There might be some evidence from the autopsy but does seem like a not very definitive way of doing it so probably an accident..

This is more likely.

I find it very difficult to believe that someone would jump into a river a a way to commit suicide. Not that it couldn't/wouldn't happen but it seems unlikely to me. Given what she was wearing, the temperature etc. I find an accident more likely but who knows.

I hope the family find some peace. Just awful...

She may have chosen to end things there as it was a place of significance to her with the dog walking. At least she didn't chose something like the train option that involves someone else having to live with the trauma.

I don't think murder should be ruled out yet though.

Well that crack diving team are going to lose a fair bit of their reputation in the short term.

Fair enough:

Here:

The police were doing their job and worked on the evidence at hand.
You leading question for this very thread was at best daft.

Oh and your second post on your thread.

More speculation based on ignarance and your own special brew of anti-police rhetoric.

Now granted I have only shown you two example but if you want more examples of the dumb things you said you can do the following:

Click your name in the top right.
You will see Posts.
Right of that a number.
Click that.

It is obvious you've not watched the police conferences as you can't tell what theories they were putting out. You think they are my theories.

All my suggestions have been based on the theories the police put forward. I've not suggested any new theories.

You're one of those people who want an opinion about something yet have done no research in to it.

How can my posts be anti-police when its the police that have said them? My complaints have been very nuanced on how they went about handling their theories.

Other police forces, the home secretary, the prime minister, the head of the Met police, the tv news media, the newspaper media, have all been saying the same things.

My mistake was assuming that people commenting on the subject would have actually taken an interest in the details of the case, my bad.

We do Post Mortems in this country and that should pick up excessive stuff up in the body - maybe.
I've worked with the Coroner and Post Mortems for 13 years but I really don't know if after 3 weeks in water something would be found.
We've just had a recent court case where the body had been in storage for a while and nothing could now be found on a Post Mortem, the body was basically mush.

Just did a quick google and it's region dependent, but here's a stat from ireland

Irish Water Safety (2004) analysed 1800 drowning deaths in Ireland in the 10 years up to 2002 and determined that 40% of entries were accidental, 6% undetermined and 54% suicide. They identified 968 suicide by drowning deaths (703 male: 265 female) in that ten year period11.

A few of us have posted on here about personal knowledge of people who have drowned themselves too.

Also, with the one I know I pointed out at the start of this that it was over a month before they found his body and it was only a mile or so down the river. So it's no surprise to me at all that it's taken this long to find her.

Wow that's genuinely surprising to me. I'm not trying to dismiss drowning as a choice, just combined with the location etc. seems bizarre. Tough thing to apply any kind of common sense thinking to I guess.

Why will they? Just because they go diving for bodies that doesn't mean they will find them before public does.

Right time, right place at the end of the day.

That's literally their purpose

No way? It's not is it? - Doesn't mean just because they look they will find something. Doesn't matter if it's their job or not.

It just happens that the public saw it somewhere first.

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.

If she's sat on the bench minding her own business and a guy walks up to her with a big knife then there isn't going to be a struggle. She'd walk out with him.

I'd say its now more likely that either she, or she and someone else, have walked out of the area and not been picked up on a camera.

You're like a bingo machine throwing out theories tbh,

Yes, exactly why it will negatively impact their professional reputation
