UK UK - Corrie McKeague, 23, Bury St Edmunds, 24 September 2016 #6

[Lolabear]

With the lack of any apparent evidence, sightings or anything untoward I can still only think it was an accident and his body will turn up eventually in water or undergrowth. I can't explain the phone nor the cctv not seeing him...but I just can't think of anything else other than a hook up gone badly wrong...yet there is no evidence for that either!

I've never seen a mention of his wallet or keys, no description except the keys are with others and obviously BMW keys

People have been reporting iphones for sale in Newcastle in relation to Corrie's case when descriptions of his lumia have been circulated, I imagine they don't want to be inundated with reports of missing keys from all over the country. If his wallet shows up it will be easy to tell it's his and will most probably have his mod 90 in it with instructions on what to do if found.

Goape thank you for clearing that up a lot of red tape for just a Missing person i see that but i still find it strange that with the case only classed as a missing person case that public haven't been asked. I would never talk badly about the 60k either or anyone on here it may be mad ideas or crazy notions but Nicola herself admitted that they have led to certain leads.

In the video from SkyNews that JamesKing posted a few pages back, Darroch said that Corrie was in good spirits during the phone call and Corrie was looking forward to his night out.

I got the impression that when Darroch answered the question about how Corrie normally got home from a night out that Darroch was saying that if the group had all decided to get a taxi back, then they'd get a taxi back, and if they hadn't made group arrangements then Corrie was capable of figuring out his own way back.

In CCTV1, Corrie looks pretty nonchalant to me. He doesn't look as if he has anger or sadness building inside him, he just looks like he's confidently (albeit a bit drunkenly) focused on finding a place to sit to eat his food.

How big is the Flex club? Could someone go off to the toilets or to the bar and be far enough away from their mates (who are probably talking to each other and a few girls and not looking around them) to leave without anyone noticing? Is there some reason his mates wouldn't just think he'd got off with a girl?

Also, I was thinking back to the thing about Darroch being the one to get the message that Corrie was missing...could that have been a message on the home phone that he picked up while Nicola was at work? Could it have been a Facebook message...maybe he's FB friends with a couple of lads at the base, or he was just the first family member to pick up the FB private message, which Nicola didn't check first due to her being at work?

On the family's official Find Corrie website it states that the message sent at 0308, from the doorway was sent to a friend NOT Darroch.

I also recall hearing in a family interview that the message sent was a picture of Darroch & Corrie together. Trying hard to find where that comment was made....

Also..out of interest, who leads the investigation in a situation like this...general police or military police?

They probably got fed up of having 60k facebookers trawling through it and all his info and coming up with crazy conspiracy theories. They've been getting more crazy and more frequent on the site.

Exactly,, I don't need FB a/c but use a family members to look at things locally if required (buy swap sell). FB is ok for offering family support, distributing posters etc and apart from this all it offers is a porthole for lurkers. I have no doubt that it will be a place for gossipmongers to hang out and as a result will be of minimal vaue in resoving matters like this.

mod 90 in it with instructions on what to do if found.

Oh..I thought that was Army.

Amonet i felt when i watched the cctv of Corrie eating food he had a spring in his step seemed happy bouncy but the last one he looked so sad my heart breaks maybe he was fed up he had been walking and alone fed up.

On the subject of public searches. I think the first week is when that would have been more likely to have been requested, but in the first week they had 20 miles of roads plus any rivers or lakes as the most likely places to look. Then there were the fields between BSE and Honington, and presumably the farmers wouldn't want 60 searchers walking over their fields.

There were requests for people to look in their own gardens, garages and sheds, but there weren't requests for the public to turn up to search.

The other thing is that they said a few times they didn't have enough search leaders to carry public searches. We're not talking about a 7 year old child that's not come home for lunch and then at tea time everyone goes out searching. This is a situation where the prime search locations were along busy A roads or country lanes where people could easily get knocked down by a car themselves, plus you need team leaders, you need to get people assigned fixed search areas, sign them in and out, make sure they know what to look for and what to do if they come across something that might be pertinent.

It is tempting to say that if someone finds something, anything, then at least the family have something to go on, and perhaps an answer as to where Corrie went or if he's alive or not. Passion and emotion would demand that, but police have to go on cold, hard logic (and sometimes funding and staffing issues), and they have to think about things like public safety, the risk of the public wandering onto private property or into a dangerous situation themselves, on top of the risk of forensic contamination.

With the lack of any apparent evidence, sightings or anything untoward ......

And that's why the police are struggling.
But what can they do.
There isn't endless resources available. That's fact.

In the 2014/15 year, across the English and Welsh police forces there were282,066 missing person-related calls, of which 210,632 were created as incidents,relating to 129,046 individuals.

I share a couple of good friends with Corrie who aren't RAF, they have been posting on their own sm and sharing the findcorrie pages. It's unfair to imply they somehow don't care because they haven't set up pages of their own. There would arguably be little point as they can't feed any information back to police and could damage the investigation. In terms of his RAF friends they can't talk so again unfair to speculate that somehow equates to ill feeling.

Goape, first, thank you for being here! I think you'll find that we are just frustrated at the lack of information being given by the police and upset that the family is in this situation, as we would all truly like to be of some help. Have you been in touch with Corrie's RAF friends, either directly or indirectly? Is there anything you could pass on to us that might help?

What at is a mod 90?

As far as I am aware it is Police lead and they need to request RAF assistance whenever they feel necessary.

I had that feeling too the first time I watched CCTV2...but not so much on subsequent times watching it.

Some have said they thought he looked down, and others have said he just looks like he's looking for a place for a covert pee.

As far as I am aware, RAF military police do not have constabulary powers over civilians so I would guess that RAF have done investigations involving their personnel and Suffolk Police are dealing with the rest.
However, the Ministry of Defence police could also be involved in this case and, whilst tasked to police MOD personnel and property, I don't know how far reaching their powers are with regards to civilians, whether they could "take over/overrule" Suffolk Constabulary...if that makes sense?

Lets hope when there is a new update that theres is some kind of break in this i know we are all feeling frustrated i guess that will be 100% worse for the family. I just don't no how this will make a move with no proof of anything or no evidence
