Lancashire :Missing dogwalker's phone found on bench by river , Nicola Bulley, 45
 

…

Now 7 days,
all 4 News start with Missing Nicola.

I know I'm stating the obvious, but it doesn't look good for her sadly.

Lancashire :Missing dogwalker's phone found on bench by river , Nicola Bulley, 45
 

…

Unfortunately she will be found in that river
The reason being her dog was not on its lead or tied to the bench
Dog owners will know a dog will follow its owner if they walked off so the fact the dog was still by the bench with the phone means the only place the dog wouldn’t follow is into the river

She would swim out of it.

Not if she jumped or was hit and pushed or fell in

That thought did cross my mind,it's a strange one,I also feel she could be in the water quite deep and caught on something so would be harder to find, but hopefully she will be found at least for the family.

A dog takes a lot longer to dry off than an hour, especially in this weather. On a hot sunny day, maybe.

She was wearing a long gilet those things would weigh you down in the water

SkyNewsHD have a Main reporter
there all day.


Police need to say what they think now
on the 7th day

People over-estimate their swimming ability based on how well they swim in a swimsuit... you need to be a VERY strong swimmer to swim in full clothing and in some thick jackets/boots it's just not possible at all. The first thing you want to do if you fall into deep water is get your shoes off if at all possible, because they'll take you down.

yes I agree, the dog would not just stay passively behind if she was being forced off somewhere by a stranger. I think sadly it was a tragic accident even if the dog didnt go fully into the water, she might have reached for it as it was getting in and fell in and hit her head on something freakish like that

I would imagine they have found clothing

Police Lady in Charge

"Main hypothesis is Nicola Bulley fell into the River Wyre"

the police have just stated they believe she fell in the river

Possible the Dog made her go
near the water,

Police Chief said


10 Miles of the River to search

maybe she took a heart attack and fell in

mind you no one would lave a phone on a bench and say go to the waters edge with the dog

Police said as it was multi call,
she may have gone near the dog
fast.

you would though if you were on a call which she was you would put the phone down if you thought the dog was getting too close to the water, so you had two hands free, it was a steep drop to the river bank, she could have tripped over something and fell in knocking herself out, there is literally a 10 minute window since she was last seen and when the phone was found on the bench and they have checked all the exit routes and there is no sign of her leaving the area, she is in the water unfortunately

As part of the search for Ms Bulley,
police are also looking for the clothing
she wore when she disappeared,
including an ankle-length black
quilted gilet jacket, and a black
Engelbert Strauss waist-length coat,
which was worn underneath.]



Could she be in the Irish Sea by now?


So Tragic,

I would have thought they would have found her by now though ....if she was in the water??. The river didn't have a strong current.

They said the river is tidal so I assume that means strong currents

The river is deeper than it looks aswell , awful & really sad how they haven't found her .

As she can swim,
I think what our great
Cherie, who said she may have hit her head
in the river.

I think that may have been the reason.


It is so tragic.

Possibly the dog got off it leash and went towards the river and she stop it going in the river and maybe tripped and fell. F she slipped they would probably see an indication of that.

Also going into the river with wellies a jacket and a long padded gilet would have made swimming difficult especially if there was an undercurrent.

a friend of mines daughter was walking along the edge of a cliff and lost her footing and fell to her death. That bank at the edge of the river is very steep and if she lost her footing, dressed in the clothes she was wearing, there was basically no chance of survival
