The disappearance of Nicola Bulley

Just what the family needed :confused:


Yeah I saw that guys channel a while back, he was one who was blatantly libelling her boyfriend, by falsely accusing him.

I imagine that 3 bed house he owns, might just about cover his legal defence costs…
 
It does make me wonder what the Post Mortem will find.

I resume you've taken bodies to the Mortuary for Post Mortems?
I did a stint in there with a Pathologist.
Yeah, have taken quite a few deceased patients (from new-borns to trauma patients to centenarians) to the mortuary in my current job, but I don't think they all go for PMs. They get put in the fridges, the paperwork gets done and the mortuary staff take it from there.
 
In an ironic twist of equality, a man and his dog went missing the other week and their bodies were found over the weekend, yet because he wasn't a mid 40 something white woman walking alone, no one cared....

Its not really that is it though. Thousands of people disappear each year in the UK, thousands of them are 40 something white women. Some cases just hit the right notes and happen at the right time for the media to pick them up.

Or do you genuinely believe that she is the first 40 something white woman to go missing in a long time....

He was a 33 year old white man doing something relatively risky (wild camping in Glencoe in the winter), and it did get considerable media coverage. As Sajid Javid is won't to say on matters of racial imbalance, "So what?"

340,000 people vanish every year in the UK, that's nearly 900 a day.

Of course your not going to hear about them all.
That’s a pretty crazy number if you think about it. How many people work in an office, factory, building that employees less than 900 people. Imagine coming into work and everyone you work with is just gone. :eek:

I did that years ago, although not guite so significant, when going in to do some testing on a Sunday for a system upgrade.
The clocks had gone back an hour overnight and I had forgotten.
Turned up an hour early doh!
 
christ is that true? surely not.

that is over 0.5% of the uk population isnt it....i cant believe that

I think hes being a bit liberal with language there. IIRC missing yes, vanish no.
A hell of a lot of missing person notifications are filed. Most turn up the same day/next day.

yeah ok i can maybe believe that. (that is still a lot tho even if they turn up .... 1 in 200 people reported missing each year. i wonder how many are repeat customers?)

Media picked it up hoping it was another example of how men have all become predatory psychopaths but turned out a tragic accident and became too big too quickly to quietly move to the back pages.

It's accurate, although a substantial number of those reports will be people who regularly go missing from home or care. It's unfortunately very common for people who are in care to be immediately reported missing by staff when they leave unaccompanied or don't return within curfew time, that way it becomes the police's problem to find them.

353,000 reported incidents per year (according to missingpeople.org.uk), one every 90 seconds, around 170,000 are reported missing, that's still 465 people a day.

About 60-70% of reported incidents are children, and this is also considering that the Police under report the data, so its likely far higher.

A lot. eg
  • Looked after children are at high risk of being reported missing. 1 in 10 looked after children are reported missing compared to 1 in 200 children. Looked after children who are reported missing will be reported on average 6 times

Quite a few will be multiple incidents with the same person. That might also include late returners from leave in mental health settings.

I'm rather intrigued to know how many missing persons are never seen again.
