Police officers have insisted that there is still no evidence to indicate third-party involvement in the disappearance of British mother Nicola Bulley. 9News
These viral videos have been condemned by police as social media users "playing private detectives" and distracting their search for the missing mother of two.on the morning of Friday, January 27. Police say she was walking her dog after dropping her two children off at school.
Lancashire Police Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith told journalists on Wednesday that the social media frenzy had "significantly distracted" the investigation."Some of it's been quite shocking and really hurtful to the family. Obviously, we can't disregard anything, and we've reviewed everything that's come in but of course it has distracted us significantly.
Much of this criticism has centered on the police's decision to reveal personal details about Bulley, starting with Smith's comments at a press conference on Wednesday: "As soon as she was reported missing, following the information that was provided to the police by her partner, Paul, and based on a number of specific vulnerabilities that we were made aware of, Nicola was graded as high risk.
"There's a lot of distrust at the moment in the police - especially from women - specifically because of a number of high-profile femicides in London," he told CNN. "So the police have to be as open and honest as they can be, but they lost a lot of my sympathy as what they said seemed like victim blaming and had a whiff of misogyny - revealing Nicola's alcohol problems and menopause struggles.
Another Twitter user named Sue McKay said: "By describing Nicola Bulley as a menopausal woman with drink issues, it just proves just how out of touch Lancs Police are with mental health. This will in effect make the public's trust and credibility in them even less." "Above all I worried last night that their clarification about Nicola was made to protect their institutional reputation and had lost sight of the humanity of the people at the heart of the investigation," he said.Yellow ribbons of hope have been tied to a bridge for missing mother Nicola Bulley.
