In regards to meaningful progress I think we've hit a brick wall. We can only assume based on previous updates he left in a vehicle and based on forensic evidence there was no struggle.
I think that is about the size of it DC.
The possible "wait" has never been discussed (although we are told he was in the doorway for 2 hours... but we're also told this was absolutely normal behaviour)
And one of the of three vehicles "in the area" (so I gather that means they either "passed through the camera's view", therefore they were either in the horseshoe area or "stopped in the camera's view", so didn't go into the horseshoe) must be involved somewhere along the line.
And that is an interesting point in itself.
Originally the narrative was "
he was in the area...and later a bin lorry was in the area".
Those two events were linked due to the phone pings corresponding with the bin lorry's route.
The conclusion was thus.
Either Corrie and his phone were in the bin lorry or at least his phone was.
Of course "adding in" more vehicles means that concision changes a great deal.
There is actually only a
1 in 4 chance of his phone being in that bin lorry. Not the best odds to base an opinion on.
Yet, all we knew at first was "there was a bin lorry there", so jumping to a conclusion was simple. Very simple. One may even say... it was a requirement.
Because, if you play with the idea that a car (at least) departed that area prior to the bin lorry even arriving (and leaving), then you would have to say "no one would willingly get a lift of a bin lorry....".
And by using the term "willingly", you'd have to examine the possibility of Corrie "waiting in Bury until someone arrived" or getting a "random lift" off someone there. Someone at a bin loading area ? Hardly what you'd call "passing traffic" !
I don't think a narrative of "Corrie was waiting for someone and when they arrived, it appears he got in their car...." would have been too helpful.
