Nicola Bulley 45y Old mum of 2 little girls missing from River Wyre area since last Friday morning at 9:15am walking her dog, Willow.

Anniebach, neither do I.

People who take their own lives are not thinking rationally. The usual niceties in life, responsibilities, straight thinking all go out of the window.

I hope the Coroner will be able to enlighten us in due course. They will know if foul play is indicated or not.

Anniebach I hate to think it’s suicide. But who knows? Nicola might have felt shamed by the Police visiting her house a couple of weeks before her disappearance. She had time to ruminate on the reason for that call out, which made her vulnerable. Anxiety on such a scale can play havoc with someone’s emotional state.j

Anniebach

I don’t think it’s suicide.

What makes you think that, Annie?

Anniebach

I don’t think it’s suicide.

Nor do I Annie. Women don't let their dog run loose and leave them in danger. He would be left safely back in the car.

It certainly wasn’t meant to be “a cruel comment” - just a fairly reasonable remark. Why do you assume I have no empathy? If I have been upset by something, I tend to avoid it from then on, to avoid further upset.

With respect, who knows how the grieving process works for others?

Those posting are among friends - some of whom know of their initial trauma.

... and they are also raising awareness of the devastation caused by an incident like this one. And that is never a bad thing. Especially in the current climate in the NHS where MH services are dire. It's from these kinds of comments and discussions that people band together and form action groups.

I understand why you'd want to avoid posts about something that's upset you, but we are all different, so if people react in a way that you don't understand, just be mindful of the fact that it can be something of a release if people can talk about their own experiences.

If you look at the photo in the media of the two people who found the body. One is low down on the bank pointing to the location of the body. Photos released soon after show the police trampling all over the bank from the road and wall- absolutely wrecking a police crime scene with forensic evidence of a body dumped via that route. I stand by my original comments about the police being idiots. I hope I'm wrong. But they would cover it up if they've messed up again, anyway.

I don’t think it’s suicide.

I’m amazed that ^GrammyGrammy*’s vile posts haven’t been deleted. Disgraceful.

Very sad news.

Heartbreaking news.
Hope against hope that there would be a different outcome. Thoughts and prayers for her family.
Now let them have privacy to grieve.
RIP Nicola x

I choose not to engage with you further GrammyGrammy.
No reporting from me.
I prefer to let your posts stand.
You did make a valid point in one to be honest.

Grammygrammy you weren't relaxed and chatting you were being extremely nasty in some of your comments
This is a delicate thread and everyone has been supportive and kind until you waded in with your opinions of police /experts and even people on here
As you have have said folk here are not your type of people so may I respectfully suggest you find a different forum to write your judgemental opinions on

mumogmadboys Sorry to contradict you, Ben Needham has not been found. A full search followed the deathbed confession and nothing was found. Last year Ben's parents made another appeal on the 31 anniversary of his disappearance. www.thestar.co.uk/news/people/ben-needham-family-of-sheffield-boy-who-went-missing-31-years-ago-given-hope-by-miracle-reunion-3933835

Hollysteers We have no details, and there has never been any suggestion that she might have committed suicide and you should not promulgate ideas, that may be whizzing around 'social media' I do not know, I do not look at it, but have no basis in fact.

It is unfortunate that the police released the information they did, because it would inevitably lead to the kinds of unsubstantiated rumours that you mention flying around.

Grammygrammy horrible spiteful posts from you, why?

Reporting is just virtue signalling.

We’re all capable of deciding whether or not a poster is deliberately trying to offend or just has an opinion that will most likely be unpopular.

If you must report why not keep quiet about it?

Reporting somebody for a post you find offensive and not admitting that you’ve done so is cowardly. Reporting the post and saying so surely shows you have the courage of your convictions, but call it virtue signalling if you want, better that than cowardly I think.

GrammyGrammy how about you wind your neck in and try to be more polite?
Have your opinion without being obnoxious would be a start.

If I didn’t know better I’d question your motives.
This thread has lasted days with respectful comments.
Are you trying to get this thread taken down?

R.I.P. whoever this is..

So sad

I have also reported your totally inappropriate comments.

GrammyGrammy- I can’t remember when I last reported a post but I’m reporting yours

Thank you.

Urmstongran, how about you don't try to analyse my character and motives and attitude and instead just let me do me and I'll afford you the same courtesy? Wow. The people here!

GrammyGrammy you do come across as ‘all fired up’.
I wouldn’t report you.
I think you are entitled to your opinion.
Actually, what you said upthread about no body being found till now & was it rolled into the river recently after foul play bears thinking about.
I hope it’s not true, it’s too gruesome and upsetting.
But at this stage I dare say nothing ought to be ruled out. Especially as there has been an ‘anonymous caller’.
Why now?
We have to trust the Police and coroner look at all possibilities and evidence.
You seem disillusioned or furious about our Police.
Perhaps you have justification.
We will never know. You could be a valid poster.
Or a stirrer.
