'I can't sit back anymore': Nicola Bulley's friend takes a strong stance

Ann, however, soon changed her tone and wrote, “I can't sit back anymore and not act with regards the hurt and distress that is being caused by some very inappropriate comments,” as she went to refer to an interview given by Bulley’s partner, Paul Ansell, where he said, “it just seems absolutely impossible. Like a dream. I cannot get my head around it. Right now it's like she's vanished into thin air, it's insane,” as reported by Daily Star.



 

The friend said, “We can see the hurt and pain and can see how much he's struggling to hold back the tears. He's is completely focusing on his girls because if he even stops to think about anything else, he will lose it and he doesn't want to worry his girls even more than they already are,” before she released numerous points to give a better idea of the case. She also clarified that she was sharing the facts with the consent of Bulley's family.

'There is a reason why Paul has never been a suspect': Tilly Ann spills crucial facts

In her first point, Ann asserted, “Paul and Nikki both mostly work from home which is why he was at home that day. They have CCTV and there is a reason why Paul has never been a suspect. Family and friends need these accusations to stop immediately. The fact that I've had to write this is disgusting to be honest. They both do this walk regularly and Paul is very well known in the community and very well recognised.”

Other details shared by Tilly Ann

Ann shared some more points in connection to Nicola's disappearance, which have been listed below.

1. “The dog never has her harness on for a chunk of that walk, it's removed at the gate of the top field and then put back on at the gate when they leave.” 

2. “They very rarely take the ball out for walks with willow now because she is very very protective over the ball and haven't done for a while.”

3. “Nikki quite often would put her phone on loud speaker when talking.”

4. “The dog was found very close to the bench and the harness. The harness was found on the floor not on the bench.”

5. “Nikki is an incredibly strong swimmer,” Ann said this while seemingly refuting cops’ theory that she plunged to her death in the icy water.

6. “Nikki drove to the school and then left her car there and walked to the river.”

7. “The dog was dry when found.”

8. “The dog has since been back.”

9. “CCTV at residential park at the top field had one camera not working, unfortunately the one that would have seen Nikki on the field towards the gate (not wyreside farm).”

10. “Although the CCTV image of Nikki looks like a blue jacket, she is wearing a long black gillet with a thinner black coat underneath.”

11. “Paul and Nikki's previous address was a semi detached cottage at Larbreck which is why that address is on their business details.”

“On a personal note, I have been shocked and appalled by the media's lies, misleading headlines, live streams of searches and reporting things completely out of context. Please be careful with what you read. Just because it's in the media doesn't mean it's true!!!!” Ann stated, before concluding, “what her family need right now is as much positivity as possible pleas. I hope this post helps with some of the questions/speculation Please think before you type!”
