The Disappearance of Nicola Bulley: When True Crime Turns Toxic

Let’s go down the rabbit hole of another baffling and heartbreaking case — one that had an entire country glued to their phones, refreshing for updates, and questioning what they thought they knew about missing persons. This time, we’re heading to the quiet, idyllic village of St Michael’s on Wyre in Lancashire, a place that sounds like it belongs in a cozy countryside novel, not the center of a global media firestorm. But that’s exactly what happened when Nicola Bulley, a 45-year-old mom of two and mortgage adviser, vanished without a trace while walking her dog on the morning of January 27, 2023. Her phone was still connected to a Teams work call. Her dog was found loose but unharmed. And Nicola? Completely gone. While police leaned toward the theory that she’d fallen into the river, others weren’t so sure. Abduction theories exploded, internet sleuths packed their ring lights and headed to Lancashire, and suddenly Nicola’s deeply personal information was being broadcast for the world to scrutinize — all while her devastated family tried to make sense of their new reality.
