Such a sad outcome, but I feared this from the beginning. In isolated areas, these things happen. She regularly went there with her dog and there must have been someone watching her movements for some time before the attack happened. The local police haven't covered themselves in glory by mentioning unnecessay details about the lady's menopause if somehow connected to a drink problem, as a way to do less to find her. Those poor kids who have lost their mum  |

Those poor kids who have lost their mum Absolutely nothing to suggest she was attacked. Whilst the police haven’t held themselves in the best of lights I do find myself questioning why there was so much focus on this woman. Dozens of women and girls go missing each week with a fraction of the coverage this woman got. Why is the detestable Kay Burley not recreating their final steps? This whole case is just another example of our selective media manipulating us. |

Nicola Bulley: Lancashire Police find body in River Wyre
Very sad but this always looked like the most likely outcome. And it's been further compounded by some disgusting behaviour on social media and by those trying to sell stories about Nicola which forced the police to disclose the information. |

Just like with Sarah Eveard minus the police officer being involved aspect |

Nathan Cole.
Went missing a week earlier, also last seen near water or was at least known to be. He didn’t come home. He was reported missing. And was also found deceased , on Friday.
No rolling news coverage. You’ll find a small report in local news section of BBC.

Yes I agree that there was too much media coverage and also too much insight into her private life - her family clearly weren't happy about it. If she was a man there would be no media coverage
It's the worst possible outcome and so sad that this happened, feel really bad for the kids, no one at that age should have to go through that.
As for what actually happened, I don't believe foul play was part of it. It seems like she might have decided to end her own life without telling anyone, judging by the fact that the police said she struggled with the menopause and alcohol issues. I doubt she fell accidentally, even her husband said that he noticed something different in her routine suggesting that something wasn't right

Likewise Lancashire Police are d*mned whatever they do, if they hadn't released personal information about Nicola then somebody else would have done for financial gain. I agree that it seems unlikely that there was any foul play involved and sadly the police hypothesis seems correct. Presumably there will be a press conference later today when identification has been confirmed and hopefully then the people of St Michael's on Wyre will be left to deal with their grief. |

It’s the whole Madeleine McCann thing all over again. Too much emphasis on one case by the media. But look at the similarities, blond haired and white. God forbid we focus on one of the dozens of women and girls who don’t fit this description that go missing every week. Yet people still deny our media has a racial bias in its reporting. |

The last few words of your post is exactly what I'm eluding too - when Sarah Eveard went missing, she was one of two girls that went missing in the same week in the same part of Lambeth - the 2nd girl had next to no attention drawn on here - guess the skin colour of the other girl?  |

Same with other missing person cases like Libby Squire in 2019 and Alice Gross in 2014, both white females yet if they were of another race or were male, none of this would have been reported by the media, or if it was, to a very small extent possibly at most in a local newspaper |

I'm not sure about any racial bias, the cases of Nicola and Madeleine are going to attract public interest by their very nature. Over the weekend a body was found in woods in Chinnor in Oxfordshire, the police believe it to be that of a white male who had been reported missing. There was very little media coverage about that outside of the immediate area probably because there's nothing particularly unusual about it. |

If its what sells newspapers and what the media think more people will be interested in, the problem most definitely is along a racial and probably now gender line. I say it’s a problem because it is. If one of my kids goes missing and I'm hoping for the publicity to be effective then my family are on a loser straight away. |
