The other strange thing for me is people go missing every day. Why did this story gain traction with MSM, is it the added mystery?

I'm fairly confident that they wont find anything because I dont think shes in the river.
Because she went missing whilst connected to a work phone call and her dog was found wandering alone in strange circumstances. She disappeared in a very small 10minute window based on the feedback from witnesses.

He seems shifty:
Nicola Bulley: 'It just seems absolutely impossible' - partner
The 45-year-old was last seen walking in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire, last Friday morning.www.bbc.co.uk
It is a bit weird that her presumably best friend is all in the press giving out information yet he seems all rather quiet.
There was also CCTV at the caravan park overlooking the area. Apparently the only one not working was the one overlooking the scene of the disappearance. Could be a complete coincidence however.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
The only way to know for sure if she's in the river or not is if she's:
A) found in the river
B) found somewhere else
Not finding her in the river doesn't mean she's not in the river, it just means they didn't find her in the river.

The forensic expert claimed that when they have used sonar previously to find missing people they have found them within an hour. It's been 3 hours so far assuming they started scanning at 8am.
If this company, who have such a good history of locating bodies in water, use their tech and dont find her body, I'd feel pretty confident that means she isnt in the river.Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

Or at least not in the section of river they have scanned.
It would be extremely unlikely for the body to travel that far down river without getting caught up.
Such a weird story. I find it hard to believe shes drowned as I dont suspect she would just sink, but someone, somewhere would have heard or seen something unusual happening if she had done and she would have turned up by now surely further downstream?

I would agree with this. The only issue is, we've all seen or heard the stories before where the most unlikely situation managed to happen. And that is the only concern here. :-/
Perhaps the friend is a bit of an attention whore and the husband has decided that, for the mental health of the kids, it's better to put on a calm composed attitude for them... For all you know, he's broken inside but realises his kids can't lose both parents (one physically and the other mentally/emotionally)
Or we can all jump to a conclusion based on watching too many TV shows....

Funnily enough I said exactly that to my other half, the moment the interview aired they said "I bet he did it" and straight away I said "your trouble is you've watched too many tv crime and detective shows, life isnt always an episode of Broadchurch you know"
I put it down to the unusually odd nature of the disappearance. Effectively disappearing in a tiny time window, whilst on a conference call. It makes it a little out of the ordinary, its not like its just someone who hasnt been seen for 24 hours, it is, as the boyfriend said, like she just vanished into thin air.

What's to say that the "person" the passers by saw was Nicola at all. Could have already been abducted and someone else sent to place the phone / leave the dog at the scene. On the face of it, the perfect crime.
As someone who regularly uses sonar I can tell you it really isn't that straight forward. It depends how far any body has travelled but also whether or not there are any other artifacts down there. Additionally the bank and bed conditions make a massive difference.
