I haven't read all the threads on here discussing this but this case has been in my mind a lot.
To be the idea of him going AWOL is just impossible.
Anyway, after reading everything I can find and watching his mums live Q&A I have a few questions and theories.
Questions:
Has the rehab centre been questioned more? as there was unauthorised people staying there when Corries mum went looking..
Has CCTV been checked after 6am in the horse shoe area? incase his phone was stolen and he was still in the area.
Why was he staying around town and not heading back to base?
Did he have money for a taxi back to base?
Did he contact the friends he went into town with to see if he could get a ride?
Theories:
1. He got drunk, headed back to base (somehow without being seen on CCTV) and fell into water. (unlikely imo)
2. He finds a ride from the horseshoe area, in a car with someone unknown and he either gets hurt/kidnapped or dropped off where near base and gets into difficulty.
3. Someone was staying in the rehab centre (without permission) called him over to the horse shoe area to see if he had a smoke or weed ect.. he gets invited in, some sort of fight ensues, they throw his phone in the bins and keep Corrie until they can get a car to move him...(his mum says 1 car had no reason to be there....maybe that's the car?)
4. He has arranged to meet someone from whatsapp, tinder ect and it doesn't go to plan i.e they aren't who they said they were, it was a trap ect.
5. He was attacked and moved into an area not far from the horseshoe but as of yet has not been searched.
6. He tried to get a lift back to base, maybe ran into trouble with another service man (fight, alcohol can turn nasty) but this to me seems unlikely.
He went into the horseshoe area for one of 3 reasons, for a wee, someone called him over there or to wait for someone. In the CCTV you see him look up and down the street before entering the horseshoe area which makes me think maybe he needed to wee and was making sure the coast was clear.
This case has really stuck with me, this lad has sworn to help our country and I do feel like the police....or government are letting him down.
