UK UK - Corrie McKeague, 23, Bury St Edmunds, 24 September 2016 #7

[MidsummersDay]

So... what if Corrie had his wee, crossed the road to walk up Short B......Could he have got a few metres up Short B?

Quite possibly, if the drunk driver wanted to avoid the CCTV in the 'Horseshoe'. Very feasible.

 

[MidsummersDay]

Or this was a hookup gone wrong but not in the way we imagine. Therefore a female picking him up isn't ruled out, maybe said female cannot be traced....

Like I said, could be female or male. I would need to really delve deep to work out who had bigger balls...Corrie or a female/male and so would influenice the thought process of possibly drink driving.

I MUST STRESS, THIS IS SPECULATIVE but VERY feasible.

 

[PilgrimsPrayer]

I agree, speculative, but does then explain some police work. Technically he is missing but in reality it's fleeing. If the crash involved parties that Corrie wanted to keep quiet (man/couple) this again could be a reason to run.

 

[guruagain]

In the sense that he was the perpetrator and has simply gone underground.

But then we would have a victim or another missing person who happened to be near BSE that night.

Two things are of interest in addition to the other offerings:
Firstly, We are all led to believe that Corrie left the 'Horseshoe' area in a vehicle as he would have been captured on CCTV camera. I'm still not 100% convinced with that sentiment to be honest but as the guys in the field are the trade specialists, I'll leave it to them to work out.
If he left on foot and walked up SB...look what I discovered! This is NOT near the 'Horseshoe', so would not (presumably) be subject to the amount of forensic searching that came about within the first few precious hours. I'm guessing it's 100 yards from where he disappeared from.
This needs looking into by a local or the police to cancel it from the enquiries!

Are we trying to identify what this door leads to?
I am off out later, I could go have a look?

Yes please, Roger.

I might be showing my age but I really can't see anyone arranging a hook up, drunk, full of food and really fancying it after a couple of hours sleep in a doorway, he surely just wanted to get home. On a side note the weather was pretty pleasant that weekend 19 degs on the Friday and 23 degs on the Saturday so its unlikely he was particularly cold that evening.

 

[PilgrimsPrayer]

Not if the crime was victimless. A car crashes with Corrie at the wheel or as a passenger, substances in the vehicle, embarrassing sexual revelations, dismissal from service... He runs until his injuries are healed but can't now return because of the media noise.

 

[MissTerious]

Where does he run to though, no access to bank account, can't call anyone, no sightings whatsoever in 10 weeks. Its very difficult to go underground these days without a huge amount of planning.

Which adds weight to my theory of it being a male who collected him in a car. If he was being collected by a female he'd hardly have wanted to 'lay' in a doorway for two hours. Like I said, it's a speculate thought process but there's a lot of easy going facts to support each action and intention that Corrie makes that day. Large amount of food to sober up a driver for instance? Not bothering about his appearance before his collection? Wobbly phone data and delayed signal onroute to BM? Drinking in his car to get away from the no alcohol zone on the street? Alcohol in the car prior to going out to the pub/club? Quick disappearance from the 'Horseshoe' area....to name but a few!

You only have to watch a few 'Hunted' programmes on TV to figure out what to do. Besides, he's an infanteer. He'll know EXACTLY what to do and probably have the blind balls to do it. Look at what we've sumised about his personality already! Confident, loud, brash, risk taker.

 

[PilgrimsPrayer]

He had almost 48 hours before he was reported missing, enough time for somebody to help him, especially if you are only planning on keeping low for a few days.

Yes but we know that he has no food on him when he enters the bin area and if he was sobering himself up to drive then why not go and get his own car. We don't know if it was a quick disappearance from the bin area only that it was before 8am so family say.

 

[MissTerious]

I do think that AWOL still could fit (obviously the preferred at this point for me so that we get him back) and people were commenting on media report webpages that this could well be the reason that Prince Harry couldn't get involved at this stage as if this is a real possibility then it would look bad for him if this is how it turns out. However, as I've previously said its not ideal to go out drinking and everything leading him up to his where he was last seen seems to be accidental rather than intended so abduction or even terrorism is still a very real possibility. I'm starting to wonder if we will ever find out what happened to Corrie, surely the police are under pressure now to issue some sort of statement of where things are up to.

That's my point, he wasn't sobering himself up. He was staying to sober up an already (speculative) drunk driver. OR perhaps he'd said, I'll get you a burger if you pick me up from ? Favour for a burger/food to sober up. Call it what you will, there seems to be method behind the madness. I don't care what anyone says (and I should know), that's a hell of a lot of calories to go home and go to bed on.

I definitely DO NOT think that AWOL fits. I do however think that UNINTENTIONAL AWOL fits.

 

[MidsummersDay]

I'm going to hazard a guess that Corrie was deciding what to do with himself and his (speculative) drunk driver over the weekend and opted for the only option he had left open to him; Unintentional AWOL.

I would also speculate that the person who collected him was close to him, on his contact list, lived in or around Barton Mills/Mildenhall area and Is at present beside himself sweating profusely and Corrie has gone underground. More importantly, the military know it and have closed ranks, the police suspect it but have to maintain the party line and the family have nothing but speculation because nothing has been confirmed yet. One thing is for sure, if I'm right (and it's a better option than the others let's face it), he'll have unwittingly backed himself and the driver AND the family AND the police into a very serious corner where nothing but brinkmanship will get them out of.
I would explain why everything has gone quiet as well! Did someone mention D notice? :/

I said this a long while back but nobody agreed!!

@ Midsummersday - Could you please repost the map you showed in an earlier thread with the CCTV cameras marked? TYI

 

[mumkinton]

Apart from the shadow that looks like a figure in the top left which isn't a figure, the dark figure walking past the door and a glass of Coffe Latte advertised for 99p on the flip board (all of which we spoke of at length in the last thread).....not sure?

To me it looks like a woman looking towards the camera, looking at her reflection, carrying a motorcycle helmet. I had assumed whoever it is was walking by, but it could just as well be that they are waiting there, for Corrie maybe?
