Nicola Bulley Missing

[belboid]

maybe she swam underwater? she could be on a beach in Nice by now if my calculations are correct.

swam? She obviously has been digging a tunnel from the riverbed for years before finally making her brave escape from The Bearded One.

 

[Indeliblelink]

I think it much more likely that she is a victim of crime than faking her own disappearance. Can we even point to any women suspected of doing it?

A quick goggle brought this up from a few months ago.

California woman who admitted to faking her kidnapping sentenced to 18 months in prison

Sherri Papini’s case gained national attention when she went missing for weeks but was found staying with an ex-boyfriend

I think there’s a handful of pretend kidnappings but not full on Lucan/Darwin.

Disappearing in general most likely became trickier following the spread of CCTV and then considerably easier again post covid

Fine-tooth comb. This has been your pedantry interlude. No-one combs their teeth

 

[Magnus McGinty]

you'd never know about the most successful people to fake their own disappearance.

Which is why I said ‘suspected’.

what, does the chip in the covid vaccine stop you from being visible on CCTV?

I'd have thought it very easy to disappear during covid as so many people withdrew from sight

This inside-the-box thinking is what makes you unsuited to internet sleuthing.

Does anyone on Urban actually comb their hair?

I imagine that about 80% either have dreadlocks or a number one crop to hide hair loss due to increasing age...

Which category are you in?

 

[Duncan2]

Well exactly i have a shock of hair that seldom sees a brush never mind a fine-tooth comb.How was i supposed to know that such a thing exists

 

[andysays]

Which category are you in?

I'm still in the notional 20%

I think I posted a few photos on the Lockdown Haircut thread if you want to look for verification.

Doesn’t matter as it’s wrong anyway. Because it should be fine toothed comb

bet lancashire CID are monitoring this thread by the minute.

I'm fairly certain that's not happening. No police force continued monitoring Urban since the average age passed that which makes marching comfortable without a long sit down and a flask of tea.

You can drop the -ed suffix as it's become a concept in itself, however the proper grammar should be described, see e.g.: Definition of FINE-TOOTH COMB Don't you try and out-pedant me, sunshine

Bit of a Michael Jackson twist to the story then

 

[steveo87]

Wonder if anyone is drinking a Brewdog product when posting?

Only because Tiny Rebel is bloody expensive....


....oh, I see...

This comb made of elephant ivory is an example of a fine tooth comb, as it's made out of a tooth and is fine:

I do.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Not sure that tusks are teeth.

Not sure that tusks are teeth.

I was disappointed not to find an example in a museum of a comb made of teeth, so it had to do.

 

[JimW]

I do.

I knew there'd be one

A self-conscious baleen whale might find a fine tooth-comb useful.

So far it just sounds like a police arse-covering conference.

I thought so too, I switched it off.

 

[Winot]

I’m watching this. How long has it been known that she had ‘vulnerabilities’ and was classed as ‘high risk’ following the initial interview with the husband?

Sounds like suicide from that.
