A Mystery To Chew On.

[BIAD]

Thanks for the update BIAD. My thoughts...

- That is a very shallow, narrow river. There is no way teams of divers and sonar equipment scanning that place for days missed anything, much less a body. I could be wrong. But just people walking along the edge poking the water with poles would cover 100% of the river and find stuff. 

- Was there any recent flooding? Or just normal river level? 

- There are no reeds. Shoot, there's just some grass and maybe that one little bush. And this time of year? All the vegetation would be at it's least bushiness of the year. 

- There are at least a dozen more acute curves in the river between the spot where she was last seen and where her body was found. If she was going to get hung up...

- If that is where the body was found, it is right next to the road. A few feet away. I stick by my tin foil hat theory. Someone with a body in the car could easily drive by, stop, chuck the body in the water, and be gone in seconds. With no one around to see.

Sorry for the delay in responding, mate... somehow, I missed your posting.


It's later in the day now and the position first announced has now moved along the river to a overhanging
bush that -if the specialist recovery-team leader explained, cannot be penetrated by his equipment and so,
probably missed.

You're right, there's no reeds along there, but I guess us-Brits see tall wet grass as reeds these days!
The water is higher at this time of year, but I would think this would be taken into consideration when
searching the Wyre.

I'll stick with your theory too, the narrative was that she fell into the river during her walking of the
dog. This route is nowhere near where the body was found and would have to pass over a weir to
become snagged in the assumed bush a long way from where the Police guessed she'd fell in.

As you say, the road is right next to where the body was found three weeks later.



ETA: At 5.30pm GMT, The Lancashire Police announced the discovered body is Nichola
Bulley. The case is now in the Coroner's hands.
