Nicola Bulley Missing

I assumed they did as it gives them a free nosey. No idea why I assume this though.
I think with the likes of social media they already receive a shitload of useless information from the public without the need to door knock. They will have already asked for anyone noticing anything untoward to use a hotline staffed by control staff on overtime. The availability of on duty officers is also not that huge. In some towns there's only actually a couple of bobbies covering quite large geographical areas in the evening and at weekends.
 
Probably been said but a big jacket and a pair of wellies would create quite a bit of drag if submersed in water. These bulky items would increase the likelihood of snagging too.
 
Whaaaaa.. spy is illamminnatti

i've seen various reports of various depths each of which was probably true for a certain point in the river at a certain point in time, but none of which can be used to conclude anything useful about someone who might have fallen in and drowned.
the place where they take the measurement is about 3/400 metres away from The Bench and is at a shallow part. 0.4m (which is what it was) is low though, even for there.

The measurement there is completely immaterial though if the river depth can vary from 18ft to 0ft from one side to the other, which appears to be the case.

Yes but a low measurement there means a low measurement across the river so the water was low at the time. Where she went missing is quite deep, there's a deep hole in fact as discussed by our resident fisher-folk expert up thread, but the river was generally low therefore not unusually fast flowing. HTH.

Sure but I was responding to the claim "it was only 3ft" and the implication that she should not therefore have been able to drown easily despite heavy clothing. The river where she went in (and we don't know where in those fields that was) was probably a lot deeper than that in places, and shallower in other places too. We simply don't know in what depth of water she might have drowned, even though we do know (from the measurement point a few hundred yards away) that the river wasn't in flood mode.

JFC can no one just measure the river at the deepest point at a particular time or state the average depth to do away with all this nonsense.

That would be meaningless because it's the depth where she potentially fell in that would determine whether she ought to have been able to not drown despite her clothing. The average depth or deepest place elsewhere wouldn't have any implications for what might have happened to her.
 
A good friend of mine in my teenage years drowned in what must have been no more than two ft of water. Virtually in a stream rather than a river. As his best friend and one of the last people to see him alive I had to attend the enquiry (whatever they call these things) and saw the photos the police had taken. A post mortem showed no signs of any struggle or physical damage. What happened remained a total mystery to everyone and the judges verdict was death by misadventure

He was young and healthy. Sometimes really weird shit that leaves everyone really baffled does happen. I've locked the trauma away for years and feel incredible sadness every time I think of him. He was a lovely bloke and we had become the closest of friends.
