The Nicola Bulley Case

I am of the mind that until they find the body of Nicola Bulley, there is hope that she is still alive somewhere which would be the better alternative than the other outcome but after extensive searches of the area including the river which they assumed she had fallen into, i am starting to hope that she has done a disappearing act of her own violation.
As the fields exits had been monitored and she hadn't left the area or seen to be forcibly taken and her phone and dog was found beside the river, it was assumed it was a tragic accident but after three weeks and no body it was a strange decision for Lancashire Police to suddenly reveal details of her personal life including issues with alcohol and menopause.
The police do occasionally take journalists into their confidence and privately explain things under the agreement that the discussion is strictly off-the-record and not to be revealed publicly so it could be that they did exactly that and some journalist's didn't understand the tacit agreement and published the details and if that was the case then it will seriously erode the police's trust of journalists in future cases.
Until they find a body there is still hope, people have faked their own deaths and just disappeared before and hopefully that is what has happened to Nicola and she is holed up somewhere safe, keeping her head down and waiting for the news cycle to move on.
