In search of Nicola

During the initial 23 days of Nicola Bulley’s disappearance last year, her friends and family endured a relentless barrage from social media, as unofficial investigators, or “armchair detectives,” descended upon their community. These self-proclaimed sleuths searched gardens, private property near the riverside trail where she was last spotted, and even went so far as to search for her remains, all while streaming themselves live on TikTok.
