From what I assume is east towards the west? If so, once the body became a "floater", it's natural to assume that it caught at the north bank or upper bank in the image, in the river bend shown. The difference in locations specified is only about 200 feet, so not a real biggie for a "journalist" who can't be assed to get off their behinds and go take a look at the find site - we're lucky they somehow managed to find the river on an image!
The so-called 'Expert' in recovering drowned people remarked that where the bench is -where the cell-phone
was discovered by a passing walker, the river bank looked like it could've been a slippery area and Miss Bulley
may have fallen in there. But he added that the water is only two feet deep there and it would be doubtful the
lady drowned at that spot.
Yes, the River Wyre flows east to west and where the discovery was made is past a weir that makes large objects
difficult to continue towards the sea. This barrier is in the red circle, the bench where the cell-phone was found is
in the light-blue circle and the yellow circle is where the body was reportedly discovered.
Quote:...It's 3-weeks-later sudden appearance could be explained if the body had initially sunk to the bottom of the river, and only floated back to the surface after enough decomposition gasses had built up in it to cause it to become a "floater". Of more interest is how searches could scour a river bed for any length of time and miss a body lying in it, floater or not.
Less explainable is the statement that it was found snagged in a reed bed where no reed bed exists.
The recovery team-leader is constantly assuring the watching public that they had scoured the river for
many miles eastwards and the Police even released that they had checked the estuary at Fleetwood where
the Wyre meets the sea! Yet, no body was seen by the team's specialised radar equipment. Source:
I noticed on the source provided above that Peter Faulding is quoted as saying:
"He said this morning his team was not asked to look in area body was found"
Quote:...Also less explainable is a body being found in a river where no sign of a slip into the river was found. Slippery banks where one may accidentally slide into a river always leave a telltale "slide" mark into the river at the point of entry, if one knows what to look for, and I must assume "experts" do know what to look for.
Now, if that river flows from left to right in the images, or west to east, then none of it makes any sense. Bodies do not float upriver of their own accord, and they do not snag in river bends BEFORE they get into the curve.
Forgive the pun, but don't hold your breath that these experts know what to look for!!
