My concern is, that if he has gone AWOL (clearly for personal reasons that are still very serious to him), what may have been a troubled state of mind may have evolved into a much, much more seriously troubled state of mind given all the media attention, which he can't be unaware of if he is out...

Again, it's a mystery to me why he hasn't been officially classed as AWOL yet in the seeming absence of any concrete evidence otherwise, but if and when he is then civilian police do indeed have the legal right to arrest him, as do the military police.

I don't want to be disrespectful to anyone, but logically that statement just makes no sense to me. Why would you treat it as a homicide if there was zero evidence that it was? surely you could only conclude that it was homicide if you had something that pointed you that way (however tiny that...

I meant more in terms of the family discovering something that the police have not, rather than them failing to share info from the start, but of course all that you have said would still apply in that scenario.

So, other than the fact that they love Corrie so very much (and it's completely understandable), why are the family so sure that a third party is involved? Could they have some information that the police don't have?

Midsummers day, please could you explain to me the 4 -6 month and six days time period that you referenced, as I am not understanding. Discussing it again with my person he says that after 48hrs they would legally have to class someone as AWOL unless they have evidence to the contrary (ie: that...

It would have to be their first conclusion UNLESS they had physical evidence to the contrary, or a statement by someone who directly witnessed a crime against Corrie. Both of which they could of course have. If they do have physical evidence it would have to be from elsewhere than the horseshoe...

The only way that the RAF could define him as missing, as opposed to AWOL would be if they had concrete evidence that he had been taken against his will, or concrete evidence that something happened to him after he went somewhere willingly, otherwise, in the absence of such, the definition of...

JamesKing Well, with respect, that is the direct experience of someone with 25+ years service who spent many years working with AWOL men directly at different military detention facilities, and they disagree strongly with you. People do silly things, it's the human condition.

Speaking to my "in the know" family member today, updating them on the thoughts here, they repeated to me something that they have repeatedly said all the time we have been discussing this. They say that in their experience many, many men end up going awol, not over some huge, dark issue, but...

If he has gone AWOL, for whatever reason, hinted at or otherwise, that is a real worry to me for his safety (his state of mind). He can't possibly be unaware of the publicity etc, so how easy for him to come back? and what are the chances that he has a new account at *the place that shall not be...

It has to be something so simple and so obvious that it's staring us in the face, but we can't see it.

How long someone would spend in a military jail after sentencing would be dependent on the one doing the sentencing/circumstances etc..it might not be very long. But, discussing this with my family member they raised an interesting point. If a member of the service community is due to go on an...

That's fair enough, but it wasn't the point I was addressing, with respect, I was simply showing that Civilian police do have the legal right to intervene, detain, arrest in these cases, use handcuffs etc..and they do actively do these things.

Well, it's certainly what happened here, at an extremely busy facility. For example there was the young man who had been AWOL for several years (unbeknown to his new wife) and was at the airport about to go on honeymoon and was arrested when they checked his passport because it flashed up in the...
