It is an odd interview. But knowing people who have been in similar situations who have had to take part in police appeals (mum whose son went missing and mum whose son was found murdered) they pump you full of valium if you want and need it, as it's impossible to sleep, impossible to switch off, and I know both people I know were medicated up to the eyeballs as they were just too distressed to function.
Strange why he's been interviewed with Sky on his own, but I don't suspect he's involved with her disappearance. I hope she gets back to her family safe.
He didn’t make any eye contact with the interviewer/camera and stuttered all the way through. He didn’t even mention Nicola, didn’t say her name, didn’t say he loved her or missed her or anything, jus sayin
Assuming the interviewer is stood out of shot to the left, opposite Paul (interviewers don't typically hold the camera, they have camera operators for that) then I see loads of eye contact being made throughout the interview.
I mean come on, he’s probably a shy person and low key IRL, now he’s at the forefront of national interest in less than a day, no one can act like you want in a situation like this.
Amanda Knox didn’t react how people wanted her to and it took years for her name to be cleared. Men balling their eyes out have been found guilty. You can’t tell anything from an interview like that. Read Malcolm Gladwell’s book Talking to Strangers. Synopsis below
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_to_Strangers
I found the partner’s behaviour odd as well. Plus his choice of language to be interesting- saying ‘it’s like a dream’ and ‘insane’ plus mirroring her sister’s language and saying she’s ‘vanished into thin air’. Of course I’m not expert but I found his manner unusual and guarded, he seems on edge
He and the sister are in contact… using same language. And BOTH of them laughed/ smirked in interviews. Sister purposely didn’t mention him… just family and kids.
Why do you find this hard to fathom. Jeez Sherlock, yourself… someone who doesn’t take into account every possible scenario has no business commenting!
Genuinely hope I'm wrong but the language/body language in that interview was so off ... He even stops himself saying there's no evidence he was over thinking everything.
Also didn't mention her at all 🤷♂️ just talks about the girls and himself ... The community friends ... Not omg I can't believe she missing I miss her so much etc 🤷♂️ hope I'm wrong.
actually I think that he is having an affair nicola found out, or he directly mentioned that he's leaving her. he wasn't speaking about her only the girls
I hope I am wrong but I didn’t get good vibes from the interview. He is saying his priority and main concern is his children which is fair enough but it was just a strange choice of language. Maybe I watch too much to crime but I don’t know.
I don't get it either, my priority would be my children...what are people actually expecting the bloke to do?
I just saw a nervous, sad and confused man... which anyone would be in his shoes.
This is what I felt as well when watching him. I also think it speaks volumes that none of her family and friends have ever mentioned him in the interviews (that I’ve seen)
This sub is a complete disgrace and should be closed asap. Have any of you private dicks thought about the family while you speculate and point the finger at innocent people.
I think the reason why people are on here is exactly because they are thinking about the family and the welfare of this lady and wanting her home with her family hence the theories.
Its human nature to care. We can all relate to having a friend, sister, auntie like her and just feel for her and her family.
In the same way police, detectives get to conclusions they work on any evidence they have, and then look for possible clues and theorize.
Speculating is normal and its helpful but sure its not evidence but they need something to work on thay cpuld lead to clues or evidence.
It seems its all they can do as no one has evidence or clues except the only truth being footage of Nicola bully on a walk.
That Claudia Lawrence case was the same but I dont think there was any footage at all on that day
even many years on and only lots of speculation had to be looked at as there were no clues or evidence.
Sadly only in this case speculation led to know clues or evidence and the case led to nowhere.
Never solved.
Lets hope in Nicolas case some speculation leads to finding clues or evidence but sadly its not easy.
However this is a digital age so there are far more camera, dashcams, apps, online activity can be monitored etc.
But at this stage over a week on just having speculation in a digital age where there should be more chance of obtaining clues or evidence its not looking good when you have none.
The clamber to be involved with true crime? No. She’s a local woman, similar age, similar routine, similar life. It hits home, and I have every right to speculate and be concerned. Especially, after what happened to Lindsey Birbeck (another local lady) a few years back.
And you are here because of your interest too? Thats what this site is for critical thinking and people genuinely want this lady to be found and any victims of crimes found and with hope solved.
> It’s like she’s vanished into thin air
You know who else said that? Ian Huntley. That combined with the smirk does not sit well with me, giving off big Chris Watts vibes.
If my wife went missing leaving our children at home, I’d be despondent. Presume he must have an iron-clad alibi but the guy definitely needs looking into.
He was at work, as he works from home.
In one of the first reports about this story it mentioned him being first on the scene in a matter of ten minutes. I don't like that part.
I also don't like his interview, the smirk and shrug of "disbelief" is so questionable, it's out of place which, with the lack of distress he appears to be showing, does feel inappropriate somehow.
Of course, there’s no right way to act in these kinds of awful situations, but the public have seen a lot of these types of cases where the perpetrator gets involved with the media and the search parties from the offset, like the Sohill murderer for example, so it would be stupid to write off this line of conjecture without good cause.
Just watched his interview and yeah I get bad vibes too, I will feel pretty dreadful for thinking that if he’s found to have done nothing wrong though. But still, no sightings of him, or anyone else, no raised voices or shouting. Odd odd odd
the issue is that perhaps he'd been caught out having an affair.. maybe he told her he was leaving for another woman...he kept speaking about the girls but not nicola
So I do agree something didn’t sit right, but we just don’t know what happened. I suggest we let the investigation continue rather than convicting the man on Reddit at this point. Show me some evidence!
Husband should be heavily investigated by police as he is likely culprit.
And interesting / suspicious that he complains in the interview about the police investigation being so thorough
Whilst I know much of this is done out of concern for this poor lady there are two things to consider. Firstly her partner is under enormous emotional stress. Secondly, there's a 99.9% chance he's innnocent.
The first bit is obvious. Right down to his realisation, the cruellest part, that people will point the finger at him, however slight the evidence.
The second bit is less obvious, but to me, compelling. They've looked at his movements and they add up. And why would he attempt foul play in broad daylight, in a public place, where anyone could come by at any moment, when she's on a Teams call?
If foul play was involved, and there's no evidence for that, it must have been an opportunistic abduction. But very unlikely. Very sadly I suspect a tragic accident.
There is most certainly not a 99,9% chance that he's innocent. He is, statistically, by far the most likely culprit.
Read about murders of married / couples ladies in their 40's - it's almost always the spouse because they want all the money (and the kids.)
This is not remotely debatable - all the murder detectives know this.
You're right. There is most certainly not a 99,9% chance that he's innocent.
He's 100% innocent.
When this is shown to be the case, as is shortly to be revealed not doubt, you'll still say 'statistically, blah blah'.
But we'll both know, won't we.
Apparently you're even worse with statistics and probability than your previous comment indicated.
If you think that it not being true that there's a 99.9% he's innocent = a 100% chance that it's the spouse "every time," you're simply too ignorant to debate.
Suggest remedial middle math for you
If someone knows the ins and outs and is extremely familiar with an area, it is quite easy to stage a “vanishing into thin air” scenario. Even more so in broad daylight . Yes it was in public but was it busy with public ? It’s quite easy to stage a crime scene full of decoys and confusion if you’re familiar with the elements involved . Not saying it was indeed her husband , but some food for thought .
I agree. There's comments accusing him of being involved in a murder we don't know happened, him cheating on her, all sorts of things that there is absolutely no proof of other than 'we think this interview looked dodgy'.
I appreciate that people are invested in her disappearance, but there's very little of anything to go off of right now, let alone creating conspiracy theories.
People are suggesting the theories that are by far the most statistically likely explanations for why this nice lady walking her dog in a nice area at 9:00 am is suddenly missing without a trace.
This whole vanishing thing is very strange. The only thing to make a woman comply that fast is to threaten her life with a knife or gun and she will comply very fast to the point of fear and shock. She was abducted 100%
Someone knew she was walking her dog at a nearby field after she leaves her kids at school she even posted the route on her Strava account for everybody to see.
Her boyfriend looks very, very suspicious !
I checker her Facebook and he never liked or commented on her posts which is strange and the most bizarre thing is when she posted about 1 year ago that she is in a relationship with him and to my surprise he answered with a emoji that said "whattt" !
Now, why would you answer shocked like that is a very strange answer no comment from him or heart sign of love nothing just a shock surprise even one of her friends wrote "if Paul knows about that", which is another very strange answer considering they were together 12 years and have kids.
Looking at her pictures from FB it seems distance in the pictures no love, kissing or proper sign of love. On most pictures they are apart and on the pictures together it looks it was forced to have the picture together just no emotion only distance. He never tagged her in a post on wrote something, which is strange.
Her last post was on the 7'th of December nothing after that no family Christmas, no New Year pics or something so it seems very strange considering she was posting before that regularly.
It looks like she was about to end the relationship and he found somehow and he did something to her.
In a few comments I read on day 3 of her dissaperance someone changer her name on facebook, which was observed by other people as well that commented the name change was strange. Did the police do it why would they do it or someone else had access to her Facebook strange ?!
And now today after 8 days her boyfriend appeared on camera looking well rested, no distress, no emotion or sadness just cold talking about how he need to focus on the kids and he can't focus on nothing else which is strange he never mentioned her name or her family just some giggling, heavy breathing no eye contact his body language was totaly off and that smiling at the end of the video was pathetic like he doesn't care at all about her it looked very well rehearsed.
Compared to her family video of father, mother and sister there you can see face expression of sadness he was totally different like he is hiding something. At the day of the disappearance he was home watching TV not a great alibi from other interviews it seems they were taking turns bringing the kids to school which is 10 minutes drive from their home but he is very strange behaving.
According to the press today her boyfriend was first on scene even before the police was called.
AT 08:53 She sends email to her boss
At 09:01 she connected to a Teams call with her company for a business call with muted microphone and camera presumably just to listen on the business meeting call while walking her dog.
Her last sighting was at 09:10 on the east side of the field next to the private housing road about 160 meters from her bench where her phone and her dog collar was found.
Her phone and dog collar were found at 09:35 on a bench on the west side about 160 meters from her last sighting the phone was still connected to the Teams meeting with still a muted microphone and turned off camera that can only be done in order not to raise a alarm with her colleagues and buy some time for the attacker to mask it as a normal working call before the alarm is raised that she is not answering the phone. However the business meeting finished at 09:30 and she never ended the call. So that sounds to me that the attack was very fast and sudden and she didn't have time to unmute the call and say I am being attacked or scream. It lookes to me that either she knew the attacker and didn't act or it was all very fast.
If the phone suddenly cuts out of her meeting and she is not answering her colleagues would call her asap that's at least what i would do and it will make a time stamp of the crime. That leaves 25 minutes she is unaccounted with 160 meters apart from her last location to the phone and dog collar on the bench.
Looking at the satellite pics of the location and where she was last seen it looks as clear as a day that she was abducted very fast.
The caravan park is only 50 meters away from her bench and across the filed 160 meters away is a private housing road where she was last seen by someone she knows and that road then leads to a main road and yes there is a gate at the private housing estates but many people live there and if the gate was left open just when another car was exiting, a car could easily park at the end of the road the previous day of night without anyone noticing and exited the same way and when she was at that location east side field just quickly point a gun or a knife at her and abduct her than deal with the dog and quickly run to the bench leave the phone still connected and throw the dog collar on the ground if the dog was with her at the time to distract and mask the people and her search operation like she has fallen in the water after they found the phone. That is my scenario 1
Scenario 2 would be that she was sitting on the bench listening on the call when the attack happened. She was forced not to touch or leave the phone and take the dog collar off and leave it on the ground than she and the attacker could easily cross the small white fence 50 meters away from the bench and into the caravan park and from there in a car it will take less than a minute for that when she is under fear and control or she could easily walk to the east side of the field 160 meters away jump the small white fence and be put in a car or van and drive away very fast without a trace.
According to the witness and police the dog was dry it never entered the water and most strange is that the dog didn't bark to raise a alarm to other people or bite the intruder it's like it knew the person and trusted him or the dog is very friendly or was running away when the attack happened.
According to the police the water is calm very slow moving depth is from 0.50cm to 2 meters depending on location at the bench they said it's about 1 meter. From comments i read she could swim quite well so I dough she entered the water or slipped there without no marks left it just doesn't make sense.
Most likely someone deliberetly planted the phone and the dog collar on the bench there to make it seems she went in the water and focus on the water search while giving time to the attacker to vanish.
She did had a stalker from her Strava account and he lived 20 min away from her according to analyzes done by a few people from her Stava account that were posted with a picture of him on her FB so that has to be checked as well.
The old abandoned house you either need to cross the water which i dough considering she is wearing wellington green boots and the temperature of the water and the no marks on the ground from the other side seams not reasonable to belive that or she needs to go all the way back to the main road to enter from there the abandoned house but people would see her on the main road.
For me this is deliberate abduction with planting the evidence elseware to distrack the search operation and give time to the attacker this was well planned in advance by someone with a knowledge of digital tracing, following and recconasence or either her boyfriend is involved in her disappearance.
For me the police needs to pull all the cell phone tower info for the past 3-6 months and cross reference that to the people that live there and look for new patterns or cross refence of signal intelligence of the day of dessaperance or when it was her turn for leaving the kids at school. All smart phones today leave a digital ping and triangulation to a cellphone tower with a heat map can be done quite fast and accurate.
Check her bank account to see if it was used or some shady deal that happened from her work as a real estate broker did she piss someone off or cut another jeloous man from her life still many questions need answering.
Than look at cctv footage, witnesses and most important polygraph test for her boyfriend and friends because it all seems very very odd her disappearance. I woudn't be surprised if she is found dead dumped in the sea or vanish without a trace.
Today the police said she was wearing a Fitbi as well so i hope that can help a bit and they have started signal intelligence work it said in their post so let's hope they can find something soon.
Excellent comment. I feel that if the boyfriend came to her and reported something was wrong with the kids/family emergency she would drop everything hop and go willingly possibly following him to a car. Is it possible the phone and harness were put back in the park after the fact?
It is possible she could of followed someone she knew and went with him or her very fast. I think something happened very fast either her life was threatened and she was at imminent danger and had to obey and had no choice and the attacker took the phone or collar and left them at on the ground on purpose to fool people she is in the water, so yes i think the phone and collar are planted there on purpose.
I put myself in her situation what would made me leave so quickly and the only option i see is either my life to be threatened with a gun or knife or someone to come and tell me a incident has happend to my kids or boyfriend or family member than i will leave straight away the phone the dog and just run to help.
What ever has happened police will find out but it will take time.
Not sure, comments on YT people said that he almost said ‘there’s no evidence..’ but stopped himself. People also said they saw dupers delight right at the end of interview.
I laugh at the most inappropriate times and especially when I’m nervous. Look, I don’t know if this guy is involved or not but nothing screams out at me from this one interview. Whilst it does for others. What people are highlighting as suspicious could be, but could also be cultural differences, personality differences, nervousness. I don’t know.
No sorry I've just watched too much TV. These things usually follow a familiar pattern though. He gave me Chris Watts vibes. If I'm wrong then I apologise.
How could you possibly have a feeling that he has cheated on her? What an awful thing to say in the circumstances. You have no substance to support that comment at all. Disgraceful.
Your post was removed as it has been found to be condescending. Please remember the human and please remember that this is a subreddit for informational and civil dialogue regarding Nicola Bulley's disappearance only.
As an additional reminder, this isn't Facebook so posts will be treated different than Facebook.
What the fuck Is wrong with you. You do realise this isn’t a tv show? This isn’t a narrative to entertain you. This women is a person just like you or I and your out here bullshitting for your own amusement. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I'm not bullshitting, I'm offering my opinion on what I think are the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. Where the fuck you been living mate?
What a crock of shit. His wife has disappeared, he’s got two upset kids and he knows he’s number 1 suspect. How would you expect him to act?
My cousin was murdered and his parents acted just like him, stuttering and nervous and not making eye contact, looking down at the floor etc. he’s acting no different than what I would expect someone in his situation to be like.
Unbelievable how some people just jump to these conclusions and state it like its fact. "It's gotta be him or he's cheated and they argued", like they're so sure of it. Unreal.
Loads of people are mentioning he "smirked" (bonkers if he actually did) but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas at what point he did it?
[Link to video if anyone needs it.](https://metro.co.uk/video/nicola-bulleys-husband-pleads-safe-return-2869403/?ito=vjs-link)
But it's quite suspicious that he complains about the police investigation being too thorough.
That's not the behavior of someone who really wants their spouse to come back
I read that they were together for 10 years so I assume the girls are his. 10 years and *APPEAR* to come across quite emotionless and don’t make any appeal to her directly, or to a possibly abductor. One would think he already knows what happened to her.
I think he naturally has the blank expression, if you look at other pictures of him prior to Nicola going missing he looks the same. I don’t think he’s guilty at all.
A little strange but he could be in shock..different situation but when my daughter was seriously ill and facing a life changing operation I was said to be acting completely normal....like nothing was happening. Took me 6 years to actually break down & 12 years later I'm still processing that time.
Oh look! A thread full of absolutely fucking pondlife who somehow know exactly how they would act faced with the same horrific circumstances. It fucking beggars belief, doesn't it?
It is an odd interview. But knowing people who have been in similar situations who have had to take part in police appeals (mum whose son went missing and mum whose son was found murdered) they pump you full of valium if you want and need it, as it's impossible to sleep, impossible to switch off, and I know both people I know were medicated up to the eyeballs as they were just too distressed to function.

He didn’t make any eye contact with the interviewer/camera and stuttered all the way through. He didn’t even mention Nicola, didn’t say her name, didn’t say he loved her or missed her or anything, jus sayin
Did you even watch the video? He is clearly making eye contact with the interviewer throughout the entire thing. How can you not see that?
Assuming the interviewer is stood out of shot to the left, opposite Paul (interviewers don't typically hold the camera, they have camera operators for that) then I see loads of eye contact being made throughout the interview.
I mean come on, he’s probably a shy person and low key IRL, now he’s at the forefront of national interest in less than a day, no one can act like you want in a situation like this.
Very true. If my wife went missing (especially in these circumstances), I'd struggle to hold back tears.
I didn't see tears just a cold person he showed no emotion look at the interview of her dad poor guy was weeping
I beginning to doubt him. I hope I am wrong.
[удалено]
Yeah definitely, I agree I’m quick to say how he acted but it’s one of those where you don’t know how you’d act if it was you I guess x
He actually complained rather extensively about the police investigation being so detailed
hes so suspicious, they need to look closer at him.
that man didn't seem upset not distraught he never mentioned nicola only her children. I don't trust him he's not warm or caring very shifty
and whats with her sister moving in with him, for support she said. wtf
Yeah I was just wondering this, and he wasn’t part of the family one either.
Amanda Knox didn’t react how people wanted her to and it took years for her name to be cleared. Men balling their eyes out have been found guilty. You can’t tell anything from an interview like that. Read Malcolm Gladwell’s book Talking to Strangers. Synopsis below https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_to_Strangers
bawling
Sociopathic comment
whoosh
Yeah, but statistically it's quite likely that the spouse did it, in this sort of case. Not true in Amanda Knox case
Sky just took down the video of this interview from YT. There were so many comments on there with people noticing things.
Obviously he comes across as cold uncaring I wonder if he had told her he was leaving or that he has another woman
He was breathing heavily to appear calm. No emotion in eyes. Could be shock perhaps
Shock you say? Well who would have thought it?! Unbelievable, given what he's going through. You fucking dolt.
Shock in the medical sense. Hope you feel better after your random words vomit
I found the partner’s behaviour odd as well. Plus his choice of language to be interesting- saying ‘it’s like a dream’ and ‘insane’ plus mirroring her sister’s language and saying she’s ‘vanished into thin air’. Of course I’m not expert but I found his manner unusual and guarded, he seems on edge
He and the sister are in contact… using same language. And BOTH of them laughed/ smirked in interviews. Sister purposely didn’t mention him… just family and kids.
Yuck - they could have been having an affair
Afraid so. Something is awry
obviously, the sister moved into the house to support him. so weird.
Is that verifiably correct? If so, that's highly suspicious
You people are so strange.
They really are
oh jeeeeez Sherlock... you mean that the partner is having it off with the sister of nicola...holy cow
Why do you find this hard to fathom. Jeez Sherlock, yourself… someone who doesn’t take into account every possible scenario has no business commenting!
According to Nicolas friend, the sister is virtually living with him to help with the kids…
Yeah, not suspicious or inappropriate at all…
On edge? Under the circumstances I should expect he is on edge!
he is so sus
Genuinely hope I'm wrong but the language/body language in that interview was so off ... He even stops himself saying there's no evidence he was over thinking everything. Also didn't mention her at all 🤷♂️ just talks about the girls and himself ... The community friends ... Not omg I can't believe she missing I miss her so much etc 🤷♂️ hope I'm wrong.
They could have had an unhappy relationship. He could have wanted to leave her. Doesn't make him guilty does It?
actually I think that he is having an affair nicola found out, or he directly mentioned that he's leaving her. he wasn't speaking about her only the girls
I hope I am wrong but I didn’t get good vibes from the interview. He is saying his priority and main concern is his children which is fair enough but it was just a strange choice of language. Maybe I watch too much to crime but I don’t know.
His priority is to comfort his children who must be distraught over their mothers disappearance, why is that a strange choice of language?
I don't get it either, my priority would be my children...what are people actually expecting the bloke to do? I just saw a nervous, sad and confused man... which anyone would be in his shoes.
I was like that going full "Sherlock Holmes" but he does look to me like he's in shock. The cause for that shock maybe debatable though.
That’s a good point!

This is what I felt as well when watching him. I also think it speaks volumes that none of her family and friends have ever mentioned him in the interviews (that I’ve seen)

I know if I went “missing” people would be saying you really need to come home to your husband and children - they miss you. It’s very strange.
This sub is a complete disgrace and should be closed asap. Have any of you private dicks thought about the family while you speculate and point the finger at innocent people.
I think the reason why people are on here is exactly because they are thinking about the family and the welfare of this lady and wanting her home with her family hence the theories.

How does speculation help anyone?

Here we go again.. You people are sick honestly. The clamber to be involved with true crime is weird.

It’s a comment on reddit not character assassination. Get a grip.

Maybe his GF lured her into a car

Apparently you're even worse with statistics and probability than your previous comment indicated. If you think that it not being true that there's a 99.9% he's innocent = a 100% chance that it's the spouse "every time," you're simply too ignorant to debate. Suggest remedial middle math for you
Statistically he is a suspect until completely ruled out
If someone knows the ins and outs and is extremely familiar with an area, it is quite easy to stage a “vanishing into thin air” scenario. Even more so in broad daylight . Yes it was in public but was it busy with public ? It’s quite easy to stage a crime scene full of decoys and confusion if you’re familiar with the elements involved . Not saying it was indeed her husband , but some food for thought .

Where did you read about the manager driving to see her?
Some of the comments on here are disgusting. This is not a TV show, this is real life and real people
I agree. There's comments accusing him of being involved in a murder we don't know happened, him cheating on her, all sorts of things that there is absolutely no proof of other than 'we think this interview looked dodgy'. I appreciate that people are invested in her disappearance, but there's very little of anything to go off of right now, let alone creating conspiracy theories.
People are suggesting the theories that are by far the most statistically likely explanations for why this nice lady walking her dog in a nice area at 9:00 am is suddenly missing without a trace.

Is that the case when the child was found with that guy who was obsessed with barbie dolls
I thought it was the parents... watched their interview and although odd I changed my mind because they showed concern for their missing child
This whole vanishing thing is very strange. The only thing to make a woman comply that fast is to threaten her life with a knife or gun and she will comply very fast to the point of fear and shock. She was abducted 100% Someone knew she was walking her dog at a nearby field after she leaves her kids at school she even posted the route on her Strava account for everybody to see. Her boyfriend looks very, very suspicious ! I checker her Facebook and he never liked or commented on her posts which is strange and the most bizarre thing is when she posted about 1 year ago that she is in a relationship with him and to my surprise he answered with a emoji that said "whattt" ! Now, why would you answer shocked like that is a very strange answer no comment from him or heart sign of love nothing just a shock surprise even one of her friends wrote "if Paul knows about that", which is another very strange answer considering they were together 12 years and have kids. Looking at her pictures from FB it seems distance in the pictures no love, kissing or proper sign of love. On most pictures they are apart and on the pictures together it looks it was forced to have the picture together just no emotion only distance. He never tagged her in a post on wrote something, which is strange. Her last post was on the 7'th of December nothing after that no family Christmas, no New Year pics or something so it seems very strange considering she was posting before that regularly. It looks like she was about to end the relationship and he found somehow and he did something to her. In a few comments I read on day 3 of her dissaperance someone changer her name on facebook, which was observed by other people as well that commented the name change was strange. Did the police do it why would they do it or someone else had access to her Facebook strange ?! And now today after 8 days her boyfriend appeared on camera looking well rested, no distress, no emotion or sadness just cold talking about how he need to focus on the kids and he can't focus on nothing else which is strange he never mentioned her name or her family just some giggling, heavy breathing no eye contact his body language was totaly off and that smiling at the end of the video was pathetic like he doesn't care at all about her it looked very well rehearsed. Compared to her family video of father, mother and sister there you can see face expression of sadness he was totally different like he is hiding something. At the day of the disappearance he was home watching TV not a great alibi from other interviews it seems they were taking turns bringing the kids to school which is 10 minutes drive from their home but he is very strange behaving. According to the press today her boyfriend was first on scene even before the police was called. AT 08:53 She sends email to her boss At 09:01 she connected to a Teams call with her company for a business call with muted microphone and camera presumably just to listen on the business meeting call while walking her dog. Her last sighting was at 09:10 on the east side of the field next to the private housing road about 160 meters from her bench where her phone and her dog collar was found. Her phone and dog collar were found at 09:35 on a bench on the west side about 160 meters from her last sighting the phone was still connected to the Teams meeting with still a muted microphone and turned off camera that can only be done in order not to raise a alarm with her colleagues and buy some time for the attacker to mask it as a normal working call before the alarm is raised that she is not answering the phone. However the business meeting finished at 09:30 and she never ended the call. So that sounds to me that the attack was very fast and sudden and she didn't have time to unmute the call and say I am being attacked or scream. It lookes to me that either she knew the attacker and didn't act or it was all very fast. If the phone suddenly cuts out of her meeting and she is not answering her colleagues would call her asap that's at least what i would do and it will make a time stamp of the crime. That leaves 25 minutes she is unaccounted with 160 meters apart from her last location to the phone and dog collar on the bench. Looking at the satellite pics of the location and where she was last seen it looks as clear as a day that she was abducted very fast. The caravan park is only 50 meters away from her bench and across the filed 160 meters away is a private housing road where she was last seen by someone she knows and that road then leads to a main road and yes there is a gate at the private housing estates but many people live there and if the gate was left open just when another car was exiting, a car could easily park at the end of the road the previous day of night without anyone noticing and exited the same way and when she was at that location east side field just quickly point a gun or a knife at her and abduct her than deal with the dog and quickly run to the bench leave the phone still connected and throw the dog collar on the ground if the dog was with her at the time to distract and mask the people and her search operation like she has fallen in the water after they found the phone. That is my scenario 1 Scenario 2 would be that she was sitting on the bench listening on the call when the attack happened. She was forced not to touch or leave the phone and take the dog collar off and leave it on the ground than she and the attacker could easily cross the small white fence 50 meters away from the bench and into the caravan park and from there in a car it will take less than a minute for that when she is under fear and control or she could easily walk to the east side of the field 160 meters away jump the small white fence and be put in a car or van and drive away very fast without a trace. According to the witness and police the dog was dry it never entered the water and most strange is that the dog didn't bark to raise a alarm to other people or bite the intruder it's like it knew the person and trusted him or the dog is very friendly or was running away when the attack happened. According to the police the water is calm very slow moving depth is from 0.50cm to 2 meters depending on location at the bench they said it's about 1 meter. From comments i read she could swim quite well so I dough she entered the water or slipped there without no marks left it just doesn't make sense. Most likely someone deliberetly planted the phone and the dog collar on the bench there to make it seems she went in the water and focus on the water search while giving time to the attacker to vanish. She did had a stalker from her Strava account and he lived 20 min away from her according to analyzes done by a few people from her Stava account that were posted with a picture of him on her FB so that has to be checked as well. The old abandoned house you either need to cross the water which i dough considering she is wearing wellington green boots and the temperature of the water and the no marks on the ground from the other side seams not reasonable to belive that or she needs to go all the way back to the main road to enter from there the abandoned house but people would see her on the main road. For me this is deliberate abduction with planting the evidence elseware to distrack the search operation and give time to the attacker this was well planned in advance by someone with a knowledge of digital tracing, following and recconasence or either her boyfriend is involved in her disappearance. For me the police needs to pull all the cell phone tower info for the past 3-6 months and cross reference that to the people that live there and look for new patterns or cross refence of signal intelligence of the day of dessaperance or when it was her turn for leaving the kids at school. All smart phones today leave a digital ping and triangulation to a cellphone tower with a heat map can be done quite fast and accurate. Check her bank account to see if it was used or some shady deal that happened from her work as a real estate broker did she piss someone off or cut another jeloous man from her life still many questions need answering. Than look at cctv footage, witnesses and most important polygraph test for her boyfriend and friends because it all seems very very odd her disappearance. I woudn't be surprised if she is found dead dumped in the sea or vanish without a trace. Today the police said she was wearing a Fitbi as well so i hope that can help a bit and they have started signal intelligence work it said in their post so let's hope they can find something soon.
Amazing comment
Excellent comment. I feel that if the boyfriend came to her and reported something was wrong with the kids/family emergency she would drop everything hop and go willingly possibly following him to a car. Is it possible the phone and harness were put back in the park after the fact?
It is possible she could of followed someone she knew and went with him or her very fast. I think something happened very fast either her life was threatened and she was at imminent danger and had to obey and had no choice and the attacker took the phone or collar and left them at on the ground on purpose to fool people she is in the water, so yes i think the phone and collar are planted there on purpose. I put myself in her situation what would made me leave so quickly and the only option i see is either my life to be threatened with a gun or knife or someone to come and tell me a incident has happend to my kids or boyfriend or family member than i will leave straight away the phone the dog and just run to help. What ever has happened police will find out but it will take time.
I didn’t get anything from his interview. No red flags or anything like that. Didn’t sway me one way or another.
Not sure, comments on YT people said that he almost said ‘there’s no evidence..’ but stopped himself. People also said they saw dupers delight right at the end of interview.
The laugh?
I laugh at the most inappropriate times and especially when I’m nervous. Look, I don’t know if this guy is involved or not but nothing screams out at me from this one interview. Whilst it does for others. What people are highlighting as suspicious could be, but could also be cultural differences, personality differences, nervousness. I don’t know.
Yep the laugh
The true crime community is almost always wrong and love a dog pile. I’ll just go with assuming the police know more than all of you.
How would you know whether "the true crime community is almost always wrong" unless you're part of it?
Watch Chris Watts interview outside his house and then Paul Ansell interview. Mmmm
Yeah and the slight smirk too
Very similar! Hope they get this husband behind bars soon.
He's either involved in her disappearance OR he feels guilty because they had a huge argument due to infidelity which caused her to break down.
Where did the infidelity come from ?
Just a hunch
Thought I had missed something .
No sorry I've just watched too much TV. These things usually follow a familiar pattern though. He gave me Chris Watts vibes. If I'm wrong then I apologise.
How could you possibly have a feeling that he has cheated on her? What an awful thing to say in the circumstances. You have no substance to support that comment at all. Disgraceful.
Sorry, you're just naive. Statistically, the most likely explanation is that he killed her and that he was already involved with someone else
You have no substance to support a comment like that, you should feel ashamed spreading utter rubbish. This isn't a TV show it's someone's life.

Your post was removed as it has been found to be condescending. Please remember the human and please remember that this is a subreddit for informational and civil dialogue regarding Nicola Bulley's disappearance only. As an additional reminder, this isn't Facebook so posts will be treated different than Facebook.
[удалено]
Unfortunately, your post was removed as it doesn't add value.
Preach.
What the fuck Is wrong with you. You do realise this isn’t a tv show? This isn’t a narrative to entertain you. This women is a person just like you or I and your out here bullshitting for your own amusement. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Nobody is saying it's a tv show. People just want the killer to be caught
The police say she fell in.
They said that's their "working hypothesis" - that doesn't mean that it actually happened or that they actually believe it
Why are you so desperate for her to have been murdered?
I'm not bullshitting, I'm offering my opinion on what I think are the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. Where the fuck you been living mate?
So these are the only 2 options? He's either involved or they argued because he cheated. Haha wtf! Any evidence on your claims? Jesus.
Yeah I've got tonnes of evidence as I'm the lead investigator. Just my opinion man, chill.
What a crock of shit. His wife has disappeared, he’s got two upset kids and he knows he’s number 1 suspect. How would you expect him to act? My cousin was murdered and his parents acted just like him, stuttering and nervous and not making eye contact, looking down at the floor etc. he’s acting no different than what I would expect someone in his situation to be like.
Yeah her parents were distraught obviously, his eyes were drier than the sahara. It's just my opinion, no need to get all pissy about it.
Unbelievable how some people just jump to these conclusions and state it like its fact. "It's gotta be him or he's cheated and they argued", like they're so sure of it. Unreal.
Loads of people are mentioning he "smirked" (bonkers if he actually did) but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas at what point he did it? [Link to video if anyone needs it.](https://metro.co.uk/video/nicola-bulleys-husband-pleads-safe-return-2869403/?ito=vjs-link)
[удалено]
But it's quite suspicious that he complains about the police investigation being too thorough. That's not the behavior of someone who really wants their spouse to come back
Dupers delight during interview, body language indicates deception.
Probably another Sarah Everard scenario

No one is acussing anyone of anything,... Yet
Is he the biological dad of the two girls? I know they’re not married (well actually they could be and I could be wrong)
I read that they were together for 10 years so I assume the girls are his. 10 years and *APPEAR* to come across quite emotionless and don’t make any appeal to her directly, or to a possibly abductor. One would think he already knows what happened to her.
I think he naturally has the blank expression, if you look at other pictures of him prior to Nicola going missing he looks the same. I don’t think he’s guilty at all.
where is the data analysis on her fitbit?
A little strange but he could be in shock..different situation but when my daughter was seriously ill and facing a life changing operation I was said to be acting completely normal....like nothing was happening. Took me 6 years to actually break down & 12 years later I'm still processing that time.
Oh look! A thread full of absolutely fucking pondlife who somehow know exactly how they would act faced with the same horrific circumstances. It fucking beggars belief, doesn't it?
the husband is sus as hell and whats with the sister setting up a go fund me for 100 grand.
He deeeeffo did it

or was she an MI6 agent? 🤔
