UK UK - Corrie McKeague, 23, Bury St Edmunds, 24 September 2016 #8

Just an idea but I wonder if the family have found out the police spent significant time investigating them for potentially helping him go AWOL when the family had been told they were looking into the CCTV and other leads but were low on resources. That's just an opinion.

The police would have to look into all possibilities including awol. Welcome by the way.

What I find strange is the conflict of praise the other is negative in police input. One has a funding page the other offers reward on own. Based on the two observations is there a divide? Surely if anyone needed support it would be two pensioners. IMO it appears fractured.

IIRC, Nicola's camp praised the police publicly several times - until she no longer could. My mom always said, "you get more bees with honey..."

It wouldn't surprise me if our continuing exploration of the possibility is the real reason the family have disparaged WS.

Because we're wrong or because we're making them confront a thought they hadn't previously had? I can imagine both being somewhat uncomfortable.

I find the site a lot easier to navigate & manage by using the Tapatalk app. HTH


Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Until it appears on the website or in MSM its is purely hearsay that Corrie is gay and was using Grindr. Please do not take it as fact.

Yes I tend to agree. I know it's 2016 but there is still a lot of hatred towards being gay...I know a lot of people who would be absolutely horrified if their son or daughter was gay and say they would disown them

The latter.

If Corrie is gay, I have to wonder why he didn't tell his mum. Or, seemingly, anyone else in his immediate family.

Who said he didn't?

 

[Shiressleuth]

Or insisting on investigating a gay angle against the wishes of the family.

they have to investigate all angles awol gay straight accident etc don't they and presumably they are still doing so? Could even have been blackmail who the heck knows at this moment?

Possibly for the same reason gay men marry women & vice-versa. Just because it's now "acceptable" to be any sexuality of choice doesn't mean that (a) your family / loved ones will accept it and, perhaps more importantly, (b) you don't want to accept it yourself. JMO

Of course we don't know. We don't know that he's gay at all.

But Nicola's absolute denial of the possibility at a press conference many weeks ago makes it very unlikely that she knew.

That's really what I've been skirting round - the idea that Corrie coming out would have been decidedly unwelcome to one or more members of the family.

just a gentle reminder......

Today's events have really turned this case on its head. Could a private investigation alongside a police investigation hinder the police investigation. Are they compromising the polices ability to do their job by doing this? I'll be interested to see the family speak out about what exactly has happened. Betrayed is such a strong word with strong connotations

I think generally speaking its in fact easier to come out as gay, as opposed to bisexual.

I think we do have to be careful here, just because a man, takes care of his appearance and appears to be fairly flamboyant in nature, it doesn't automatically make him gay....

I think a private investigator is a great idea - people might talk more freely to the PI versus the police. And I agree with you also, "betrayal" is such a strong, cold word - far surpasses the "disappointment" felt earlier, more personal even.

I've been nightshift last night so will try and catch up before I go to bed! Looks like yesterday was an interesting development day all round!

I think the point we are at, is pretty much summed up by Corrie's grandparents in their appeal.

1. He entered Short Brackland at 0325 and disappeared.

2. It appears he could have been meeting someone, which probably explains why he remained in Bury St Edmunds for 2 hrs.

What happened in the Horseshoe area is unclear to us.
With whom he was meeting is unknown to us.
What happened subsequently is a mystery to everyone.

It is also clear that there has been a total and complete breakdown in the relationship between Nicola/Tony and the Suffolk Police.

It is also evident that there is no unity in the appeals made by either parent in their search for Corrie.

No link has been established between Corrie's disappearance, the bin lorry and his phone, other than the phone pinging in Barton and the bin lorry's route subsequent route from the horseshoe area.

CCTV shows several unidentified people still remain unaccounted.
And that 3 vehicles have been identified but it is unknown what the term "identified" actually means, in respect to these vehicles.

From an outsider looking in, key to this case is with whom was Corrie meeting, if indeed he was meeting someone. Information that would throw some light on that is not being shared, if it is indeed such information is known.

The Suffolk police have responded to Nicola's comments saying that they were "surprised" and "disappointed" by Nicola's comments, adding "we are using the similar resources we would put into a murder investigation", thus confirming that the case is still classed as a Missing Persons Enquiry.
