Gordon R Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Tightchoke - I worry that you are correct. If she is found, alive (hopefully) or dead, it will provide closure for the family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Well, there is a program on the at the moment. .9 to..10 ish on Fri 10th. Pretty in depth analysis of all the nown facts. Apparently the police were invited to be part of the program. .. BUT they have declined. ?????? Why.? Do they think that they are above the public.? As an aside though there are in the region of 3 to 4 hundred thousand people who are reported missing IN THIS COUNTRY every year. !!!!

Gordon R Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I can understand why the Police would decline to take part. It's an ongoing investigation and they will inevitably come in for some stick, as they don't have a result. Whilst I have reservations about how they have proceeded, let them get on with their job.

They'd only state the facts, which are known already. They're not going to dive headlong into conjecture, or say whether they suspect a crime's been committed, or if they think she's actually now in Aruba - or if they're approaching the point where they are stuck for ideas. It's probably best that anyone running the operation is actually out there, running the operation, not stuck in a studio somewhere infuriating the public because they can't give the answers the public thinks it deserves.

Robden Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 What I did find a bit strange was the dog's harness was found on the ground. When I used to walk mine, to let them run free, I would just unclip the lead. Would not remove harness, especially near water as it would give me something to grab hold of, should the need arise.

Mungler Posted February 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Husband has come out in the news today to say he doesn’t think she went into the water and he wants all other lines of investigation kept open….. He probably shouldn’t be second guessing the police or discussing his views in public, right? (Insert shaking head here). Does anyone still think we shouldn’t be discussing this or the police decision to focus on their ‘theory’ she went into the water, thereby closing off all other lines of enquiry and public assistance / awareness? I increasingly find this forum stocked full of some very thick people who are only too happy to entirely switch off their brains, turn off any enquiring thought or go against the Daily Mail or what they are told. The situation to hand isn’t about some massive conspiracy - but it raises a number of questions which should be discussed and considered. There we go. .

ditchman Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 i think the reason everyone finds this so intrigueing is that so much money and resources have been thrown at this case without a sniff of what may have happened................most of the folk on here have their own theroy at what may have happened but wont post it out of respect for the case...... the most awful thing is the "left in limbo" for the children.......i must admit i would be totally stunned and distraught if she was my wife.....

Bigbob Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Think the problem with the police is now they are supposed to be jack of all trades master of none . Might of been better if a private search firm had the job to do under police supervision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robden Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 I saw the interview with the husband, and he may be a very "strong" person, but I don't think I would be that dry eyed and not even mention her name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spr1985 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 A different perspective on the husbands lack of emotion :- In 2016 I went with my father to the hospital to receive confirmation of terminal cancer and a prognosis of 4 weeks if we are lucky….on hearing that I went numb, emotion disappeared, for everything, my fiancé/my children / my life. My only concern was keeping a straight face on it to support my dad through what must have been hell on earth, we had two weeks, and then I had to keep a straight face on it for my dads mum and brothers/ my siblings and their children and deal with his estate and funeral and everything that goes with someone passing away. It took me a good six months to a year for it all to sink in and process what had actually happened. Once I’d finished “my duty” to everyone else.I started to wake up from the numbness and complete lack of emotion. So. whilst I may be completely wrong I don’t think that pointing fingers at a man that’s shown no emotion is justified, I’d hazard a guess at the guy has gone into involuntary survival mode to protect himself and his children. I know how hard it was for me when that numbness came over me and I didn’t have cameras and journalists and half the population in my face I can only imagine how he must be feeling! Deer in the headlights springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, we've had search teams in the woods behind us twice and it's ended the same way, but never this level of publicity or resources involved, but they were missing young men, not a mum which makes it so much stranger. 36 minutes ago, Spr1985 said: A different perspective on the husbands lack of emotion :- In 2016 I went with my father to the hospital to receive confirmation of terminal cancer and a prognosis of 4 weeks if we are lucky….on hearing that I went numb, emotion disappeared, for everything, my fiancé/my children / my life.

Dave-G Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Or somewhere on the spectrum that doesn't readily show emotion or facial expressions. I say that as a family facial feature is we all have droopy eyelids and down turned mouths that make us look glum even when feeling mildly upbeat.

airarms Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 My question,have police searched ,caravan park and the abandoned house , just to rule out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 I understand the 'abandoned' house (which is not abandoned and has local owners) has been searched fully by police with the owners full co-operation and has had to be 'protected' by police as loads of amateurs are trying to search there. see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11730767/Amateur-sleuths-stopped-searching-abandoned-house-missing-mother-Nicola-Bulley.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 The Police are now searching for two men and a red van, all of which were reported to them as suspicious, before she went missing. It makes a mockery of Sally Riley ruling out, almost ridiculing, the possibility of any other person being involved. She could almost have been aiming her remarks at Mungler, given some of the comments on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the programme so I have to use secondary sources like the one you used. He said that he listened to the experts and formed the opinion that she isn't in the water. My thoughts are why he didn't take into account the police? He then surmises that it is a local person is responsible for her disappearance. That is problematic as there seem to be lots of local people in the dog walking area near the river and a busy road nearby that has had lots of people with placards about it since it happened along with national news coverage. The road seems to be a main drag between Garstang/M6 and Poulton/Blackpool and it was just after the school run. He even shoots his theory in the foot by saying: "You see the same faces every single day, and on the very odd occasion when you see somebody that you know, you don't know. They stand out like a sore thumb." Also he said "He believes the discovery of her phone on a bench could be just a 'decoy'." So either he has done her in or he's totally overthinking it (naturally) and she drowned. What's your suggestion Andy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
