I think the rubbish could shift a lot, like the way balls go everywhere and anywhere In a ball pit that you get at a children's activity centre.
Apart from me having noted down the timings way back (which I posted on here a couple of days ago), there is a report in the EADT which states: "3.24am to around 4.30am:[FONT=&] Police were able to trace Corrie’s mobile phone from Bury to the Barton Mills area, near Mildenhall, at a speed indicating it was in a vehicle"
Thanks GT, that's a new one. Some links of MSM around that time have been posted here that show the police searching that area, but perhaps the man hadn't seen those reports.
Is this of any help? "[FONT=&]The huge landfill site is divided into a number of cells pits in the ground where rubbish is dumped.[/FONT][FONT=&]There are 920 square metres of waste in the cell identified by police."

Thanks Reallyodd. I remember those early reports particularly because of the Mildenhall reference However they do say "may have" and "about". More specific details about the phone were provided later which I believe the case map was based on. Eg. Leaving BSE mast within 1.5 minutes of bin lorry and taking 28 minutes before hitting the BM mast etc. Of course we don't know whether C even had his phone with him or not by then either. I have stated before maybe the 3 arguing teens tossed it in bin lorry? JMHO.
That's weird. So those early searches weren't done based on this man's sighting because he didn't report it till November. So they definitely would no longer have had the cctv at the Esso garage by then. The searches must have been based only on the phone, unless there is other info we are not aware of.
From the FC website, still unchanged: "3.24am to around 4.30am: Police were able to trace Corries mobile phone from Bury to the Barton Mills area, near Mildenhall, at a speed only a vehicle could travel at. His phone was not used after this and it has not been found."
Yep I know. Around 4.30 a.m. It is different to the later data but that doesn't mean the later data put in the case map is wrong does it?
The article GT posted states Mr. Hawes rang in November. Perhaps the wife rang earlier and police missed it. Or they said get your husband to call and he didn't call till November. Even so, I am surprised that the sightings seem to have been discounted on all occasions.
I've looked back through this forum and I think I now know what happened. Midsummer had a timeline. The timing of the phone was changed on it due to a transcription of N's live Q&A in which it was said the phone left BSE (N actually said it left BM) at 4.25am and that was the same time the bin lorry left. I think purple's map has been based on Midsummer's timeline, hence why they both say the same. I could be wrong though. Either way, it appears that this is the point the time was changed on the timeline. AFAIK, apart from LE saying that the phone left the BSE mast at 4.19am, they have not changed the previous times given. But like everything else with this case, we can't be sure of anything as there have been so many changes to so many aspects of it.
I prefer to go with the times LE gave originally as they would know from the phone pings and they also said the phone left the BSE at 4.19am. They have never said that the phone had to have been in the bin lorry, only that it loosely correlates to the time it took to get from BSE to BM and on the same or similar route afaik.
They were asking for anyone who had been in the BM area early on, but I suppose they wouldn't say about this sighting in case others claimed to have seen the same thing, even though they hadn't. By not mentioning it, they may have had more geniune calls.
