I am just reading some of the updates from Facebook over the past week or so. I see N has confirmed that the CCTV up Short Brackland at the rear on the Cornhill is really poor quality and he could have evaded it which is what I have thought all along! I still think he simply went for a wee in the HS and left within a minute or so later as the camera rotated and he continued on up SB and it is there where he has gotten a lift from someone or come to harm there, whether that person approached him or vice versa who know's, but its going to be the phone pings & it leaving at the same time as the bin lorry that will always make this case so confusing and this throwing everything off, because we have 2 options:
1) The phone was in the bin lorry, either by mistake because he left it there or he dropped it in the bin while having a wee, or even chucked it in there voluntarily because it was broken. But if that's the case then why hasn't it been found in the landfill search if the landfill has been thoroughly checked?
2) He had his phone on him when he left the HS when he potentially had his wee and he walked up SB, but since this was about 3.30am then he will have had to have remained in that residential area for an hour before getting into a vehicle as his phone left BSE mast around 4.25, and moved at the pace of the vehicle If that's the case surely he would have texted or called at least someone at that point.
So if you go with Option 1 then he could have either gone to/ended up in a house in the area, come to harm there and from there I would assume he has been moved or he got a lift from the residential area and they could have driven absolutely anywhere and something happened and that's the hardest one because there is absolutely no way to pin point where he went from there
With Option 2, you have to question what he was doing for that hour before the phone leaves BSE, and surely within that hour he would attempted to text or call someone? Unless it was Pay as you go and he has no credit, even on PAG these days they have emergency ways of getting credit though and this leads me to believe it was Option 1. Its just TOO much of a coincidence that the phone left the same time as the bin lorry and went to the same area.
I think also read that police have knocked on all of the houses in the residential area and spoke to people and checked the front and back gardens, but surely if something has happened to him in a house they are hardly going to tell the police that.
I still feel something like being picked up by someone he doesn't know because in that residential area and the person could have gotten chatting to him and offered him a bed/sofa to crash on as opposed to driving him back to base and something has happened from there.
