If she fell in the river how come there wasn't slip marks at the side of the river. It also doesn't get deep until the centre of the river and she was apparently a strong swimmer. It was really weird as well that the police didn't keep an open mind about it from the outset and said they didn't think it was suspicious. How did they come to that conclusion? The whole case is still not been explained or investigated properly.

You don't need slip marks for a trip/fall. Being a strong swimmer in a heated swimming pool is not the same as falling fully clothed into a freezing cold river and panicking. Strong swimmers drown every day. The police did keep an open mind, they even stated it. What do you think the 40 detectives were look at, the river?

[@courtneysquill8843]

I doubt Nicola would be meeting someone on a work meeting. I don't think she was ever there. Look at the witness statements. They don't add up. Their original police testimonies place them at the scene at the time she is alleged to have fallen. Paul is not putting the dog in that morning. the woman alleged to be Nicola is. So Paul drove the kids to school. Nicolas Fitbit showed walked 08.00 to 08.30 over a mile that morning. She was doing the dog walk then before the children were taken to school. Who positively identified Nicola in the field that morning. Only a related family setting the scene and ensuring the school was called because they knew she was dead. No calls to friends or family. Very very odd behaviour.

[@missmerrily4830]

I'll suggest a way. She had let the dog off its lead and it went too far down the river bank. In a panic and on the phone, she quickly put it down on the bench and went to grab the dog. She lost her footing and the dog scrambled back up onto the bank while she slipped into the river at a point where the bank was too steep for a human being to successfully scramble up. Weighed down by clothing, and in a fast flowing river, she went under and drowned and her body was carried downstream. No need to be sorry! Sorry for what?

[@alisonwells6401]

There are three key aspects in my mind which have been brushed under the carpet: 1- Springer Spaniel dogs aren't "Bone Dry" when their Mum is drowning in a river 2- Fitbit data shows her heart still beating for 10 minutes after the Coroner recorded time of death 3- Two separate witnesses heard screaming around the time the Coroner recorded time of death from the vicinity she was in Most likely, she had an altercation with someone unknown around the bench, this caused the increase in Heart Beat recorded by the Fitbit and the skirmish sadly led to her demise around 10-15 minutes later than reported.

[@random6809]

1. Why assume that the dog would jump off a vertical drop onto rocks? Why assume that Willow saw her fall in? 2. No it didn't. Fitbits do not record heart rate for a start. They measure capillary action. They can give false readings when water flows between the sensor and skin. Of course armchair detectives don't bother understanding the technology. 3. The two witnesses said scream not screams. They also gave different times and said that they thought nothing of them Screams near a Primary school is not unusual. Your conclusion is based on your ill-informed assumptions. There is no evidence of criminality.

[@alisonwells6401]

The whole conclusion reached by the “Coroner” is based on an assumption formed from Phone and Fitbit data, and that conclusion is she “Accidentally” fell into the water at the same time her recorded Fitbit data showed an increase in Beats Per Minute. Now I understand some people willingly accept what they are told by authorities, however others like myself would prefer to form our opinions and with the greatest of respect that conclusion is so flawed. Taking the points individually, there is easily accessible (unless it has been removed) evidence that steps exist down to the water from the area of the bench that Willow could have used, and even if she didn’t spot those (unlikely in my experience of dogs) she could quite easily have run 20 yards up the riverbank where it isn’t as steep. I don’t own a Springer Spaniel, however I do have another dog that loves water and if his ball is in there and he can’t get in from the immediate locality then I can assure you he’d run the extra few yards to find a way in, and I’d like to think if I was struggling in the water then he wouldn’t stand on the side. Fitbit data- If the readings that were given after she is reported as having passed are sporadic or false, then don’t you think that given the publicity this case garnered that they would publish the actual data to stop us so called “Armchair Detectives” speculating. Until these are presented then I’m going to assume they show results someone doesn’t want us to see, and in that sense they most likely show normal data consistent with someone still alive. Screams- These were from two different people in different locations and consistent with the locality she was, they were also consistent with the times the “Fitbit” stopped recording data for Beats Per Minute. Now again call me a “Conspiracy Theorist” but I think most people can distinguish between Adult and Child screams, therefore it’s highly likely they came from Nicola given no-one else has come forward to indicate it was them that was screaming. To conclude, you may wish to believe the narrative being given however if you put everything together then you are left with expecting to believe the following: Someone who walks along a river bank daily falls into the water, she drowns despite no record of the thousands of other people who’ve done the same walk suffering the same fate and despite the water being shallow (I accept it was cold and that could have caused it but they body would have been spotted quickly then). Odds against this happening thousands to one. Then a “Springer Spaniel” doesn’t go into the water to help, odds on that dog being dry hundreds to one. Then the people who find “Willow” don’t see (or don’t check the water which is very odd as it’s the first place I’d look) and evidence of Nicola in the water despite it only being minutes after her falling into the water. Odds against tens to one. Then the “Fitbit” which works fine to support the “Coroner” decision mysteriously doesn’t work when it disproves the findings, and again strangely we don’t see the figures that support this view. Again odds against this, tens to one. Finally, screams are heard which co-incide with the time Fitbit stopped recording Beats Per Minute and are from the locality from which she went missing, instead we are expected to believe these were from schoolchildren as nobody has come forward to indicate it was them. Now you can believe the narrative given, I don’t so we can agree to differ. @@random6809

I reported them to L.P on the 4/2/2023 unfortunately they had changed their titles but I managed to find them and made a hard copy . Soon after they disappeared with no trace . I`m not sure these were ever investigated even though I tried again with L.P but they don`t say if anyone looked at them or not . I was told that if they had been deleted unlike a phone etc there was no way for L.P to view them once deleted off KZbin. I can not make them public as they will be under copyright .To show a little under fair use doesn`t make a lot of sense either as it would need to be about 10mins of one of the video`s to give them an understanding. So although I`m not saying it wasn`t an accident I would have liked to know if these 4 video`s had been viewed .

Pushed her in making her drop the harness and scream. She was knocked out. She left for that important appointment to collect Paul or another. She called her brother in law. They got her out of river causing bruising to upper arms trying to drag her out as too shallow and noticeable but Nicola came too and they hit her again hence second scream stamping on her legs and drowning her in shallow muddy puddle hence her mud caked hair and very little fluid in stomach and lungs. Man in black is Paul who can unlock phone so Roger sees screen saver of Nicola and Paul on phone. They hide body till they are able to find it and police know as they said it will be found on the date it was found. No one can be that precise. Penny's appointment is to fetch and return Paul and hide a body. Paul goes home and changes into gym gear as he's wet. Paul arrived home in time to make one text and seven calls to Nicola.

Penny was seen with a hammer that morning allegedly fixing a fence and looking for someone to fix it like two people she employed. Where is that hammer now? Or Nicola was never there and that whole river scene is staged. I favour the second theory for the following reasons: 1). Nicolas Fitbit shows her walking between 08.00 and 08.30 over a mile. That would be happening in a house getting ready. Someone was practising the walk as the steps are almost identical to ones Nicola is alleged to have taken. 2). Nicolas Fitbit shows a heart beat till 4th Feb and lasts nine days which is unheard of. So who recharged it. That shows staging. That faint heart beat could someone transporting her in a vessel but it doesn't explain why the battery last so long. 3). Nicolas sister the evening before sent a text about a spa to which she never responded. Sisters always respond. 4). The play date was an odd thing to arrange just before a conference call. Who not wait till drop off or pick up time to arrange this. 4). Dog bone dry. And running between bench and kissing gate. Someone dropped it off and left by kissing gate to hidden field so didn't want to get noticed. 5). No CCTV or dash cam evidence Nicola was ever in area. 6). No other witnesses apart from a family who are conflicted and friends whose sightings are tenuous. You cannot determine features in a person a field or so away. A witness who left at 08.50 cannot make an 09.10 sighting unless he returned to the field. 7). Both penny and Roger say independently they found the phone. Roger sees wall paper. Penny sees conference and people moving. Who unlocked phone for river to see wall paper. 8). Fitbits could not last 24 days in water where salt can permeate and they are water resistant not waterproof. No data could have bee. Gleaned. 9). Paul's timeline does not add up 10). Witness testimonies conflict. 11). Family and paul both decide school is the first place to call as they all know Nicola won't be collecting the kids. 12). Paul's consecutive calls made to cover fact he hadn't called her for two hours and fifteen minutes since her departure but want to suggest she is struggling to his cousin's wife who also works at the school.

I agree with you.

[@bernadettebocock7492]

I don't think Nicola was alive on that day and Emma was making out to be her why didn't she have aher camera on the work call well she couldn't because she's not Nicola think about it!!!

[@random6809]

Nicola was witnessed at the school doofus. Being in a Teams meeting without your camera on is not unusual.

She wasn’t seen that morning no cctv only the children would know who took them to school

​@@random6809no the witness came forward a week later which is too late in my opinion and she was vague. I can't remember the following week which particular dog walker I've seen the week before. How could that witness know which day she saw her.

A Witness that knows Nikki seen her in the upper field walking with two men in black around 9:10.. A MIB was seen in allotment lane. a One minute jog from the shed. Penny seen at the shed..MIB Gone by 9:15 by witness that drove that way. Was Nikki in the Shed with the MIB. Did Penny see what transpired? A Scream was heard. Then Penny be-lined herself to the bench at 9:22 with the phone. Willow was spotted on the other side of the stile. Did they take Nikki to that abandoned Mansion that the police refused Peter Faulding to check the river in front of the mansion..He didn't get the ok until Feb. 6th??? Why I ask. What were the Police Hiding? Remember when police went to Mansion,The Owner told Police he would check inside the house and Police could check the grounds? Ever hear Police let someone else look? NEVER.

All these people slating the police whereas the police have been proved correct with their initial working hypothesis, that she had gone in the river, a river that has zero visibility. Maybe watch a few documentarys that follow a police investigation into a missing person and you will see the fantastic work they do, if someone else was involved the detectives would have found out

[@carmelgrace8655]

Why was Peter Faulding findings ignored by the police. This is the most important question that needs to be answered. Why?

[@random6809]

You mean the Faulding that categorically stated that she was not in the river, but months later is now claiming that he found her in the river that he said she was not in? Gosh, I wonder why that pillock is being ignored...
