Hi. New here.
From an hour or so of reading up on this.....
According to what I have read - Corrie CANNOT have left this 'horseshoe' area on foot without being seen by CCTV.
So surely the only options are:
1. He left in a car (dead or alive).
I'm not sure about this. If he left in a car - then surely he's been abducted and/or murdered as he hasn't turned up for 3 months. How likely is it that someone who knew him and wanted to abduct/murder him knew he was where he was. Also, if it wasn't pre-meditated murder, how did the murderer get rid of the body, they would have either hidden it around/within the buildings and/or picked it up another time.
Surely every single vehicle that came to and left that area within say 24 hours or more of Corrie being there - can be found, linked to a person and be investigated. Surely if Corrie had left in one of the vehicles - the Police would have investigated every single vehicle by now? It's been 3 months. The Police would surely be able to work out any number plate of any vehicle that has been in the area, or at the very least have good CCTV of those cars and maybe their drivers.
2. He slept in the bin and was crushed to death.
He was happy enough to sleep for 2 hours on a concrete floor outside a shop. He was clearly drunk as a skunk from the CCTV footage I have seen. He didn't seem to have any will to get home by walking. He was just wandering the streets. Not sure if he was waiting for his friends to leave the club, or he just couldn't be bothered getting home. There is a good chance - seeing as he had no issues with sleeping in the street and he was drunk as hell - that he was fine sleeping in the bin.
I understand the bin lorry was investigated and the load was apparently light. But was the investigation here thorough? Was the weight correct/accurate. Surely the Police shouldn't just believe the weight was accurate and leave it as that.....Wasn't the area where the load was emptied checked?
3. He found his way into the surrounding buildings or was taken in.
At that time of night I'd be surprised if someone saw him and took him in and abducted or murdered him. Seems highly unlikely. Probably just as unlikely is that he got onto the roof and fell down the chimney.
Apparently these buildings have not all been thoroughly searched through - which is odd. He may have found his way into a doorway of a cellar and may have fallen down some stairs or died in his sleep. All this seems unlikely though.
Conclusion:
The bin theory seems the most likely / logical to me.
As for his phone that sent out pings during a journey only taken by a vehicle. He could have had it stolen, he could have been in a vehicle with it, he could have dropped it in the bin or he could have been in the bin with it.
It's surely pretty simple for the Police - properly search all the surrounding buildings, trace any vehicles in the area around that time and properly search the landfill site. It seems Corrie's Mum isn't happy with how the Police have gone about the search for her son.
