I wonder how far it's possible she could have travelled by now if she has not got caught somewhere and remained in place. Is it even possible she's out to sea?

I think it’s about 13 miles from the Irish Sea where the the bench is by the river. I can’t remember the flow speed but read somewhere that it moves around 14ft a minute, but could be wrong on that.

I think people are maybe forgetting what was actually said in the Presser:

---

....Therefore, the time that we are particularly interested in is between 9:10 - the last confirmed sighting and at 9:20, when Nicola's phone was found on the bench... sorry, not found on the bench, Nicola's phone was on the bench believed to be on the bench found at around 9:33. The witness made numerous enquiries to try and find the owner of the phone, not knowing whose phone it was and, indeed, whose dog it was. That lead the witness to meet up with other people, who did recognise the dog as Nicola's ...

---

She didn't just abandon the dog. Obviously, she hung around and asked other walkers if they recognised it. Ergo this '90 minute window' is not accurate.

'I cannot understand that statement... They are putting all their eggs in one basket.' Martyn Underhill, former Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner, attacks the police for calling the disappearance of Nicola Bulley 'a tragic accident.'

If this turns out to be foul play the whole area is contaminated. I have no words. Honestly.

What day was this screenshot taken? The police did forensics on the bench on Friday, so if after Friday, whilst disrespectful, it may not be an issue as such.

Good spot - it turns right at the end of this pic and goes behind The Grapes and joins the Riverwalk about 2-300m down from the Blackpool Lane riverside entrance. It also links up with Allotment Lane (you can see the last bit of this on google maps)

I think it joins the riverside path just where the wooden fencing section near the bridge ends.

In the Daily Mail route reconstruction video you can see it emerge just on the left at 4:17

They will have had to travel from their base in Dorking which is over 250 miles from St Michael's.

route on google maps

yes his staff drove up last night while Peter Faulding arrived by helicopter this morning......

Friends of missing mother-of-2 hope private diving team find 'nothing'

Peter Faulding, founder of private search and rescue organisation Specialist Group International, said he would be bringing 'high-spec' sonar equipment that can 'find people within the hour'.

It seems to me that the dog's harness ended up in the River for some reason. Maybe dog playing with it as bored because owner is using phone. Owner went down to the water to get it back. As she climbed back out the harness ended up being placed on the riverbank then she lost her footing and slipped into the water. It is cold at this time of year so if you go in then probably not going to be a good outcome.

I live on a boat and it does have to be said that it is quite common to be able to access the water by foot from a riverbank but find it ten times more difficult to get back out.

I did read that there’s several jugged rocks where she could have fallen in, so depending on his she fell/slipped (if she did) it’s possible she could have been knocked out if her head hit a rock. It’s absolutely heartbreaking.

Didn’t he add ‘not in this stretch of river’

It's the carelessness in which PF speaks. Doesn't matter about adding the titbit at the end to protect himself from embarrassment in case he fails to locate NB in the river as initially stated. Confidently.

Great post

there's a load of similar cases WITGuy, I had a butchers earlier.

Not as simple as it has been made out.

In that case whilst disrespectful, I don't really get how they're causing a problem. If the police needed the area closed it would still be cordened off.

They did all their forensics on the bench area on Friday week before last.

It’s 5 years today since the body of Michael Brooks was found but this was in the River Ribble.
I remember this case and the searches. Still to this day his mother is looking for answers.

It’s just disrespectful tbh. Maybe that’s just me.

Absolutely outrageous that he has turned this into the Peter Faulding show.

Ghouls.

I despair.

I don’t feel this is foul play, though…I believe the police. This is probably a tragic accident. It’s heartbreaking.

Yes massively disrespectful. But unfortunately whilst the media (especially certain media companies) are treating this as an episode of law and order, its going to encourage that kind of behaviour. Same as the disgusting live stream that's up of the boat search.

Im so thankful for the mod work done here. I made the mistake of checking social media earlier. There's people there arranging to travel to the site and do their own water searches! Absolute planks!

I give up with this guy.

I'm starting to like him. Just not in a good way.
