A Mystery To Chew On.

[BIAD]

OK...

So the police cannot say it's her but how many people have gone missing there recently? 
I thought everyone and their brother-in-law had searched the river from top to bottom? 

It's early-morning on Monday here and the chap who was supposed to be an expert and
the role-model the media held up (Peter Faulding), came on national TV and stated his
team had spent hours in that area the body was found and has evidence there was no
dead person in that vicinity.

The statement is that a body was found 'among the reeds' at that part of the river Wyre,
yet by the images below (captured in 2022) there's no significant reed-bed that could
conceal something so large from a searching team. You'll notice the geography of the
area also indicated the river is slow-moving.

However, the Police didn't discover a torso in that spot AFTER they'd already searched there,
a couple of dog-walkers did!

"...On Sunday, Lancashire Police said they "sadly recovered a body" from the water after
being called to the River Wyre..." -BBC
"...It was spotted by dog walkers a mile from where Nicola was last seen..." -The Sun


                                                                            Ms Nicola Bulley & Partner Paul Ansell.  Peter Faulding.

The foliage along the riverbank in the Google images is grass, there is no 'reed-bed'. It may possibly
come out later that the body became 'snagged' in the bush shown in the third image.

Will the media now apply the same level of hype to every missing persons case in the UK?
Or just well-to-do white women? Reminds me of that case from the Bahamas a few years back.
Wonder what the link is?

Well, there is a penchant to stick to particular themes in the media and one of them is 'woo-woo'
mysterious disappearances constructed with the use of certain phrasing. The reason...? I would
like to suggest this is a distraction-tactic from the media to hide other machinations within the
political realms, but it probably comes down to Ms Bulley simply being on a specific class-level
here in the UK.

The young women in Oldham, Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford and Huddersfield who were -and still
are being, systematically abused by a certain demographic haven't had this amount of media and
political coverage.

(...adjusts tin foil hat...)

How 'bout this: She was abducted and murdered in some sinister fashion.
As everyone searched the river, baddies bided their time. After a while, when the media storm
was big enough, they slipped the body into the river conveniently right where all the searches
had taken place.
The body is now "found" in the river by a traumatized by-stander and the entire UK is caught up
in finger pointing. The baddies make their escape.

When I read out your scenario, my wife fully agreed with your assessment. 

We're left with two conclusions. Either the media-monitored Police are so incompetent that they failed
to see a floating object somehow trapped in a tiny -if not non-existent, reed-bed after scouring that
stretch of the river for three days.

Plus... The alleged specialists in drowned-recovery were so busy checking the monitor that was on their
rubber dinghy for a submerged body that they too failed the clothed-shape floating in the slow current.
(Remember, if it's Ms Bulley's body, it was supposed to have taken three weeks for it to have arrived at
the place where the dog-walkers discovered it).

Or...
Your suggestion is correct.
