that would indicate that they we're very close , 4 calls in one day, apparently they were talking about the dog, then would his brother not find it strange that his phone switched of for the next few days,
My thinking exactly. I actually signed up just to reply to your post.
Not just that fact that his brother hadn't found it odd that he had heard nothing but I find it hard to believe that none of the lads on camp wondered where he might be....I gather the dog was left unattended that whole time?
Plus from what I can see, Corrie was into his social media...surely his family, friends, Workmates would have noticed if he'd been completely silent on his social media accounts.
I'd made my mind up a while back that Corrie had gone AWOL. (And I hope I'm right as it's the best outcome when you think about the alternatives)
I'm 35 now so my social circle isn't what it used to be but in my early twenties, like Corrie I was reknowned for disappearing off on my mates on nights out. (Usually with girls ☺️
BUT, If I had ever gone missing in the manner that Corrie has (complete no contact with anybody) I can gaurantee that alarm bells would have rang with my family and friends well before Monday morning....and that was well before social media was what it is now.
I could almost understand the lads on camp not noticing him being there if it weren't for the dog. My best mate was in the forces (raf reg, and his stomping ground was BSE funnily enough) and the lads on camp often travelled to visit family/friends at weekends. TBH though, from what we know, this wasn't the case with corrie as he had been out on the slash with his colleagues.
Just my opinion anyway, thought I'd chirp in.
