Police said they have been “inundated with false information, accusations and rumours” in their investigation into the missing 45-year-old woman's disappearance
AMATEUR SLEUTHS AND social media video-makers have “distracted significantly” from police efforts to find missing mother-of-two Nicola Bulley, according to the lead investigator in the case.
Setting out the details of the probe in more detail than police “normally” would, he said the scale has been “unprecedented”. He added that police have “shared more detail in this conference than would normally be the case” because by by doing so it would counter some of the “ill-informed speculation and conjecture that has at times distracted the investigation from what ought to have been its priorities”.
“As any senior investigating officer does, you form a number of hypotheses – that is scenarios which are possible from the information to hand,” she said.“Those hypotheses included the one that she possibly could have gone into the river, that there could have been third-party involvement and lastly, that she could have left the area voluntarily.
