I'm a tad cynical about this sighting. How did this man know the exact time? How come no other motorist reported it? Someone running across a busy road is pretty unusual and noticeable. Why did this man wait so long before going to the papers and did he get paid for the story?
CM looked very drunk and unsteady in the last cctv footage of him yet we're to believe he was prancing around motorways an hour later, I don't buy it.
For me, the man knew the exact time, due to the hour of the sighting and the distinctive clothing and if you are an alert and cautious driver, as you say it is pretty unusual and noticeable. I would think the time it took to cross, wouldn't be that long, hence other motorists not seeing, or just not coming forward.
I never thought he was that drunk and unsteady on his feet, when he walked with purpose with his takeaway to the doorway and then got up after his sleep, he looked to me like anyone, getting up after a sleep in a doorway would, slight stumble/jog, bit rough and disorientated waking up.
For a guy who, we were told, had in the past, walked part of the way back to base, and thumbed lifts, it didn't make sense to me, that he would hop into a bin. For me if he was found in landfill it was foul play.
We went over the temps that evening on previous threads. Posters put up the temps and it was a very warm evening. The amount of food he ate, before he feel asleep, would in my view, have helped him, on what was, we were told, an unusually warm evening, for that time of year.
