I think there's two viable theories about what happened to #NicolaBulley. 1) Most likely is that she slipped and fell into the river, suffered from cold water shock, and drowned. Her body has been carried along the Wyre towards the Irish Sea.
She could have left her phone on the work call while going to retrieve her dog in difficulty from the water, or its toy. The dog's harness and lead were taken off because the dog is a springer spaniel and likes to swim, so it wouldn't be uncomfortable later
from wearing a wet cold harness on a cold day. This would explain her sudden disappearance, lack of anyone else's obvious involvement, why the phone was on the bench and why the dog's harness and lead were off and the dog was running around alone.
2) The second theory is the abduction one, but it isn't much supported by evidence released so far. Half an hour between last sighting of her and the dog being found running around. No signs of struggle that the police have released, anyway
If she was abducted, why would the perpetrator take the harness and leash off the dog? Why not tie the dog to the bench by the leash - or take the dog, to slow discovery?
Why leave her phone behind, when it would help identify her - and the timing of her disappearance? I don't think that this adds up to third party involvement
