Could anyone provide a link to the interview with the homeless guy? He was the last guy to actually speak to C and C shared his grub with him I believe didn't he?
So why spend all these resources trying to track more people when they have these people already? I do not get it. JMOAFAIK this chap was never interviewed? Spoken to by the police only I'd assumed.
We were told that either 'a person' or 'some people' approached Corrie when he was in Hughes doorway to check if he was OK and it may be interesting to know more of that.
What's the OFFICIAL Suffolk police line at this moment in time ?
1. A "Missing Person"
2. And "they don't think there is any third party involvement"
3. But "every possibility is open"
But point 3 contradicts point 2 ?
What made the police think that there was/is "no third party involvement" or is this just Standard Practice in a Missing Persons investigation.
If they believe(d) there was no "Third party" involvement, then how do the police explain the phone pinging in Barton Mills ?
Disposing of it himself would exclude a "third party" ?
Someone else disposing of it include a "third party" ?
MissTerious said:I don't think you would leave your car parked in a disabled bay on a street if you were going AWOL. You would put it somewhere where it wouldn't draw attention to you quite quickly. I think that whatever he was planning for that evening he intended to return to his vehicle before any penalties kicked in.
The one suspected sighting in Hollow road was also discounted although I am not sure how exactly. At the time I read he was on cctv and N said it wasn't C. And I have also read that there was no cctv at that location so am not sure which was correct. Coincidentally Hollow road is where the bin lorries originate according to our timeline so maybe it was a bin lorry driver who reported seeing this person? JMO. If anyone has any links regarding this sighting it might clarify which was correct.
Firstly I do not think £26k is a pittance. That is about £2k per week so 4 bobbies no longer on other duties. I defo disagree with the high amount spent in the McCann case, however that was a vulnerable child, abroad and has been ongoing for some years so it would have mounted up over the years. C is not a vulnerable adult and knew what he was doing. He either left willingly in a car, on foot or is still in the vicinity AFAIK. JMO
Is this discounted though, as this sighting is in the latest BBC report posted a page or two back by Midsummer.
Also the SULSAR and RAF would have been no public cost which kept down overall costs too IMO. We would also need to see Suffolk police overall normal budget for any real comparison.To me personally £26K is a lot of money but I'm talking about within the context of an 'inordinate amount of resources' and 'treated as a if a murder'. Given how government/councils can spend ridiculous amounts on the smallest things I am surprised how small the figure is for three months even allowing for lack of resources. The McCann case runs to roughly £750,000 per three months but I agree it is a very different case.

Although referring to Glos. I found this interesting regarding missing people and it does (from other articles) seem consistent with other counties. I wasn't able to find anything specific to Suffolk though.
"People are reported to the police as 'missing' under a wide variety of circumstances and from a wide variety of sources - usually by relatives, friends or carers but often also by concerned colleagues and other professionals.
"We have a duty to locate them and check their welfare. All reports are taken extremely seriously with a full and comprehensive risk assessment done to assess their vulnerability, taking into account factors such as medical history, emotional state, last sightings etc.
"The person is then deemed low, medium or high risk and an appropriate investigation and search strategy is implemented.
"As I say this, we currently have ten missing persons and one absent. Of those ten, one is high risk, eight are medium risk and one is low risk. With this many live investigations at once, it puts a large amount of strain on our policing resourc
"The cost of an investigation will obviously vary hugely depending on the length of time it runs and the level of risk. However, Dr Karen Shalev-Greene from the Institute of Criminal Justice Studies at the University of Portsmouth has calculated the average cost to police of a missing person investigation is £2,415.80.

Yeah but was it C or not? So it has or hasn't been discounted. Like the vehicles haven't been discounted. Why keep looking for more sightings when these possibilities are still out there? That's what I cannot understand. All the searches and resources but still unfinished business, unless discounted and we haven't been told. JMHO.
26 grand is alot of money and with how quickly information can be obtained due to social media, also how quickly information can be spread to a wider viewing public all the police have left are searches, cctv, phonelines and leaflet/pod type things.
It's quite alot they have spent.
They needed to have had the cctv and bins searched alot quicker than they did.
I may have missed it but I don't remember reading a direct quote or seeing a video of any representative of Suffolk Police saying third party involvement is ruled out
Difficult to tell though as Corrie has been missing for some time now. I would assume the costs involved are manpower based mostly.?
"As if a murder investigation" obviously pushes the costs up = more manpower plus outside agencies (there has been mention of experts to enhance CCTV). JMO
"Third party involvement was quickly ruled out by police, but the idea has not been dismissed by Mr Mckeague's mother".
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-suffolk-38267086
I think this was where the squabble with the police began.
With respect to the police how could they say foul play when there is no evidence unless of course there is another idea not revealed to police. It would make it difficult to manage the case based on just a concern . Imo"Third party involvement was quickly ruled out by police, but the idea has not been dismissed by Mr Mckeague's mother".

Maybe but I still haven't seen where the Police have stated they ruled out third party involvement?
