As they walk out of shot the words I hear are "Toots... I'm gonna ask you again.... are you upset"

(edited to add snipped, as it's this part I'm referring to) Totally agree - possible to be both perpetrator and victim. We don't know much about what really happened and why. It just strikes me that terrible choices were made by two people who, for whatever reason, don't appear to be thinking...

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed> ... didn't the person that found NB had a dog with them?

I stand by the work of the police and believe that everything they do, and the information they do and don't release is for a reason. I also believe in their expertise, or that they call in expertise where needed. I don't think any feasible line of enquiry will be overlooked or ignored. In the...

Either way a person does not have long to get out / is in a precarious situation

In an earlier thread, someone here who knows that stretch of the river well commented that a body would be very unlikely to go over the weir given the water level of the river at that time (I'd link but can't find it - there was also a you tube video of an angler there). It's just occurred to...

Are there places where the river is wider and can be more easily crossed, ie by wading? Is it possible that NB could have crossed the river, or been taken across the river, and this is why there is no evidence of her leaving the area?

Glad the river is being searched with new equipment. I've got no idea where NB could be, but the big questions in my mind (maybe these have been answered or asked before, I've lost some of the plot) are: How well behaved is the dog - ie does he ever run off, disappear, or does NB ever lose...

I don't think they will be part of any community, or will have asked for any help from anyone at all. They seem to have lived a very isolated life, with no friends, cut off from everyone and I think this is how they are living now - in total isolation. I don't think they have anyone in their...

I still wonder whether there was something more in the burnt out vehicle that was found and hasn't been disclosed. The car was left in haste, on foot, with no chance to carry anything heavy or bulky, and clues as to their activities or intentions could have been left behind - something that...

Just trying to think of other possibilities - What if NB suddenly realises dog has disappeared, runs to look for dog (or chases after dog) and is the victim of a hit and run - so may not be in the area she is expected to be found. Even worse, someone could have then tried to conceal what...

I've outlined what I am guessing people are seeing as a person with brown hair lying down

That's really interesting. I've never tried them but have a couple of packets in the cupboard from my teenager's phase of making "chia jelly" - might go and bung some in the coffee grinder!

BBM Lol true about better places to look for a victim. I think I had something more co-incidental in mind though - person with demons spends time at a deserted place, happens across another person and bad things happen.

You're right that does sound a bit odd but it didn't strike me as odd at the time, I can't remember exactly where I read it - the man was a prolific blogger so maybe it was on there. It was a few years ago but I had a v quick look now and his blogs are still online. My friend's life has been...
