open mic in terms of whether there was a third if nicola left of her own volition. but they did a lot of work on all the surrounding cctv. it left only one possible route that nicola could have travelled in the area without being seen. that was when they ask for dashcam footage or if there were any sightings from people in vehicles after they drove through. we know that the police about two 700 vehicle owners as part of that pretty substantial inquiry to try to bottom of that thread out, so to speak. i m sure if this body turns out to be that of nicola bulley, that in some regards that the police will feel vindicated because that was their working hypothesis that would have turned out to be true should this body turn
has been found in the river wyre is indeed that of 45 year old nicola bulley. let s go back to peter, a former police superintendent. three strategies were put forward. the first was that nicola possibly entered the water. the second possibility is that they may have been a third party involved. the food hypothesis was that she willingly left the scene. was that expected? let willingly left the scene. was that exected? . ., . willingly left the scene. was that exected? . expected? let me correct you, i never attained expected? let me correct you, i never attained the expected? let me correct you, i never attained the glittering i expected? let me correct you, i | never attained the glittering rank of detective superintendent. thank you for the open promotion. i apologise. you for the open promotion. i apologise- we you for the open promotion. i apologise. we know - you for the open promotion. i apologise. we know the i you for the open promotion. i i apologise. we know the workin
have had done extensive searches and once they have done that, because it was nicola had gone into the water, they could maintain resources in their place. from what i gather, in their place. from what i gather, in the public domain, they were giving information from a member of the public who indicated they had seen something, the police then went into that specific part of the river. if you can imagine how challenging it would be to try to find anything in a river which has a flow in it, go food to pursue, there is a lot of potential areas where somebody who had fallen and could possibly go in. but i think the police, the first theory was at the beginning that if this does turn out to be very sadly nicola bulley s body, the very first theory was that nicola had gone in and that was their working hypothesis. they did not rule out,
black s leave. thank you for coming back to take you through the next steps of this particular case. i was watching some of the footage from the search that was conducted or has been conducted in the early days following the announcement of nicola s disappearance. officers are walking along the bank of the river, i think there was an image of two others. what are they looking for? what evidence are they looking for? in the early stages of the investigation, lancashire told us about their working hypothesis that nicola had gone into the water. whilst they later render back a bit on that and saying they were keeping an open mind, it kind of begs the question what exactly were they doing? orwere
