Death of Nicola Bulley, Lancashire UK

I'm fairly sure the police expressed concern from the off.

Re her family saying they were convinced she wasn't in the water - have you ever lost a loved one, even under normal circumstances? Been told they're terminally ill? Your brain rails against the reality and you try to believe it isn't true.

If the police didn't explain the issues Nicola was experiencing it would have been a scoop for a tabloid, the village was teeming with reporters, rubberneckers and idiots filming for social media. A local person sold the story to a tabloid, the information was released to stop the story appearing. Blame all the wannabe detectives who were clamouring for information and identifying suspects and motives despite the lack of any credible evidence.

It's a tragic case, and it's sad that Nicola's medical information had to be released, but it was done for a reason, albeit an unfortunate one. Hopefully the case will change how the media and public behave, whether willingly or through enforced restrictions.

Guys i suggest viewing this video as it can clear up many things and this is from an expert who did this for a living.

I'm fairly sure the police expressed concern from the off.

They were opaque from the off, from the 27th to the 15th they peddled the same line, she fell in the water.

Then is snowballed, she didn't bring the ball for dog anymore, she was incredible swimmer, 100% convinced she didn't go in the water, and that was just her immediate family and friends.

Like I said previously that diver was brought in not to find her but to prove to the family she wasn't there.

And as much of a cockwomble he may be, he was kept in the dark as well, but not just the police but also the people closest to her who were acutely aware of her vulnerabilities.

Have you actual citation for this?

The family suggested that someone attempting to sell their stories and of course that certainly would be a possibility.

It could also be someone was absolutely fed up with the circus and wanted to put the actual facts out there to stop the crazy charade.

The police did it for them but it took 3+ weeks.. 🤷‍♀️

I know I referenced that in my post.

Your claim is

A local person sold the story to a tabloid

There is no indication that tabloids bought any story.

It could well have been a fishing exercise, it could have numerous things like I suggested.

But again there is hypocrisy with the family bemoaning speculation, when they were actively engaged in fuelling it.

But like I said the blame for that lies at feet of police for the majority.

It's the truth.

You left out this bit by the way.
