Missing Nicola Bulley's friend questions 'dog ball in river' theory on how she vanished
A close pal of missing Nicola Bulley has questioned a police theory that the mum may have fallen into a river while retrieving a toy for her dog.
She claims the theory is based on "limited information" and that Nicola had stopped taking dog Willow's tennis balls with her over a year ago. The Mirror reports that authorities do not believe a third party was involved and have described the disappearance as "not suspicious but a tragic case of a missing person". Police have so far found Nicola's dog Willow, who was found running alone with her harness and lead on the floor and her phone, which was found on a bench still connected to a work conference call.
Ms Riley continued: "I don't wish to speculate, in that we don't know, but it is possible as the dog was loose and off the lead. There may have been an issue with the dog that led her to the water's edge, she puts her phone down to go and deal with the dog momentarily, and Nicola may have fallen in.
