The Mystery of Corrie McKeague

All smoke and mirrors this timing thing, IMO.

I reckon after his kip in the doorway he took a picture of his tackle (cctv too distressing for mum) and sent it to some chap off one of these dating sites.

This article has just come in from the DM:

Posing on the roof of London's Millennium Dome, they look like any other young couple enjoying a big night out. It's a Saturday evening in September, and the duo are five months into a whirlwind romance.

Having met via a dating website, they had formalised their relationship in June, in a series of images posted on the photo-sharing network Instagram. One showed them cuddling in bed, with the 23-year-old man (who'd just departed for a fortnight's summer holiday) playfully grabbing his scantily-clad, 21-year-old companion by the neck.

'My man and I having cuddles before he left,' she wrote. 'It's going to be a tough two weeks without him. I love you baby xxx.' Another image showed the lovers holding hands, fingers intertwined, while the young man's pet puppy, a black cross-breed called Louell, rested his chin on her naked thigh: '#mummydaddyandbaby #familylife #myboys' read her caption.

Yet a long shadow has now been cast over these scenes of domestic bliss.

For the man in the pictures is Corrie McKeague, the RAF serviceman at the centre of perhaps the most bizarre manhunt in recent years.

He disappeared six days after the romantic weekend break in London, during a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, in which he wore the same pink shirt and white jeans. He drove there in his blue BMW convertible, which he left in a pay-and-display car park.

The night saw him visit two bars, before being asked to leave a nightclub by bouncers because he'd 'consumed enough alcohol'.

He then visited a takeaway, before falling asleep for two hours in a shop doorway. Then, at 3.25am, he was recorded on CCTV film walking into a loading bay behind a branch of Gregg's.

Soon afterwards, in a town dotted with security cameras, McKeague vanished. He's not been seen since.

Detectives are baffled, saying the chances of him managing to slip out of the centre of the cathedral town without being caught on camera are as low as one or two per cent.

A huge PR campaign, run by his family, and with thousands of supporters on social media, has failed to shed any light on the mystery. Adding to the intrigue, meanwhile, are recent revelations about McKeague's relationship with his 21-year-old lover, April Oliver.

Despite extensive media coverage of McKeague's disappearance, her existence was kept quiet for months.

Her profile was mysteriously removed from the RAF man's social media accounts, while his family described him as 'happily single'.

Having met via a dating website, they had formalised their relationship in June, in a series of images posted on the photo-sharing network Instagram

That all suddenly changed on January 10, when Oliver gave a TV interview making the shock announcement that they were not just a couple, but that she was pregnant with his child.

The plot then thickened considerably on Thursday when it also emerged that both Oliver and McKeague had for some time been living an astonishing double life, trawling the internet looking for casual sex with strangers.

McKeague had been active on a website called Fab Swingers since 2014, when he'd created a profile saying he wanted to arrange anonymous liaisons with straight and lesbian couples and single women aged between 18 and 60.

The site listed among his interests 'blindfolds', 'making videos', 'group sex' and 'SM [sadomasochism]'.

He then set up a second, joint account with Oliver in August, declaring, 'We are a young couple but we know what we want' and listing a string of depraved sex acts they wished to carry out with random men and women. Their profile carried a photo of a woman wearing lingerie.

Its existence was reported in the Mail after the RAF man's mother, Nicola Urquhart, revealed details in a statement on a Facebook page dedicated to his disappearance called 'Find Corrie'.

Around the same time, McKeague's brother, Darroch, described the 'dating sites' as 'just irrelevant' to his disappearance.

However, the police appear to take a different view, saying that McKeague's use of Fab Swingers is now 'part of our investigation'. It emerged yesterday that they are interviewing contacts the couple made on the site.

That is not surprising, given the inherently dangerous nature of the sexual encounters that McKeague appears to have pursued.

A typical one is chronicled in an endorsement carried on his page on Fab Swingers, which is illustrated with a topless photo of the RAF man next to the caption 'hello all, come say hi'. Dated April 15, 2016 (when he was supposedly dating Oliver), it was written by a 28-year-old woman from Cambridge using the moniker 'pinupchick88' who describes herself as 'quite brutal'.

She recalled their encounter by saying that McKeague 'turned up looking and smelling amazing, didn't take long for me to take his clothes off, and he didn't disappoint!'

McKeague then posted a review on her page saying 'met this lovely lady yesterday, she was straight down to business' before graphically describing a series of unconventional sex practices.

P olice are now investigating about 20 other 'friends' whom he knew via the website, including eight women, four transsexuals or transvestites, two men and six couples. Of particular interest is believed to be 'Oriental-transvestite', a user of Fab Swingers who claims to live in East London, not far from the Millennium Dome.

McKeague's unconventional sex life has prompted speculation that his disappearance could be linked to a casual liaison on the night he vanished. Such an encounter could either have occurred in Bury St Edmunds, or somewhere he travelled after possibly being picked up in a car.

His mobile telephone was traced to a spot near Barton Mills, a village 12 miles north-west of the town (and a well-known location where strangers meet for alfresco sex), in the early hours of that morning.

It was moving at a speed consistent to being in a vehicle, though stopped transmitting at around 8am, suggesting that it either ran out of batteries or was destroyed.

Detectives are also looking at claims that McKeague was active on Grindr, an app used by gay men for casual hook-ups. It made headlines during last year's trial of serial killer Stephen Port, who drugged and murdered four men he met on the site.

Missing Corrie McKeague, who has not been seen since disappearing in September last year

In October, a month after his disappearance, a member of the public exchanged messages with a user of Grindr called 'BiLad21' who had what appeared to be a previously unpublished image of McKeague as his profile picture.

Screenshots of the account, set up two years earlier, were reported to the police shortly afterwards. It remains unclear if the picture or the page was genuine.

McKeague's family deny speculation that he might be gay, and his Fab Swingers profile described him as 'straight'.

The date of the alleged Grindr sighting has nonetheless prompted another explanation for McKeague's disappearance: that he might be alive and well, having decided for some reason to deliberately vanish.

On September 28, just three days after going missing, his uncle, Tony Wringe, pleaded for information on Fill Your Boots, a Facebook chatroom for the Armed Forces.

It read: 'Corrie is my nephew and the family are genuinely worried now. He was out on the p*** in Bury on Friday night and hasn't been seen since. He's been suffering with depression recently — so who knows . . .'

The post was shared by 1,600 people. However, it was deleted from the site a couple of months later, without any explanation.

Military sources confirm that McKeague, who joined the RAF in October 2013 and served as a gunner in the RAF Regiment, had been given time off to be treated for mental health problems. Yet they say that treatment took place some time ago and he was 'jovial as far as we are aware'.

McKeague's mother, meanwhile, has denied her son was at all emotionally troubled, writing on Facebook this week: 'Quite a few people have asked if Corrie was suffering from depression and or mental health issues. NO he wasn't.'

That post has also since been deleted.

This curious episode highlights another strange feature of the manhunt — just how many of the public statements made since McKeague vanished appear to have subsequently been either contradicted or quietly removed.

Take, for example, whether he might have come to grief while attempting to drunkenly walk home to RAF Honington, the base where he lived about eight miles away. Initially, this was seen as the most credible explanation for his disappearance.

On September 28, Suffolk police said: 'He's known to go on nights out with his friends and make his way back to wherever he's based on foot. Our belief is that he's attempted to walk from Bury to RAF Honington.' Five days later, they repeated this line.

McKeague's mother initially appeared to agree. In mid-October, she was reported to have said: 'He did not regularly walk the long distance back to his base, but had done so in the past.'

However, on November 8, she posted on Facebook: 'Corrie has NEVER walked back from Bury to Honington.'

Similar apparent inconsistencies — assuming she was accurately quoted by the newspaper — are also evident in public comments she's made regarding her son's love life.

In October, she described him as 'very happily single', but then reacted to reports of his relationship with April Oliver in another (subsequently deleted) Facebook post, saying they were in a casual relationship: 'Corrie and April were on dating sites, they are young and were enjoying themselves. They were both seeing other people, this has not been hidden.'

Details of Corrie McKeague's swingers profile have been revealed after his mother confirmed the RAF gunner and his 21-year-old girlfriend were members of the Fab Swingers website

The joint profile appears to describe Corrie as Big C and his partner as little C as well as their personal details interests

Quite how those remarks can be squared with Oliver's varied social media posts (which describe McKeague as her 'boyfriend' and date back to June) is anyone's guess.

This week, McKeague's mother also wrote a post on Facebook (again later deleted) discussing Oliver's decision to go public about her pregnancy.

'Last week, April had to publicly tell the world about her private life, something we all tried to keep private for both her and their baby, predominately at April's insistence . . . Sadly others would not leave her alone . . . She was really left with no choice as it was coming out anyway.'

Again, that version of events seems at odds with other comments.

For on December 21, when McKeague's mother said that the intention was to keep Oliver's pregnancy 'private', the latter had publicly announced it on Instagram, with a picture of her belly along with the caption: 'Little blob I love you xxx.'

Meanwhile, there have been a series of fallings-out between McKeague's family and Suffolk police. They stretch back to early December, when his mother (who works as a police liaison officer in her native Scotland) told the BBC that officers were failing to investigate his disappearance properly.

The family has since raised more than £50,000 via a crowd-funding website to pay private investigators to look into the case.

They are believed to now be scouring McKeague's social media accounts, plus his profiles on dating sites. It emerged on Wednesday that his Fab Swingers page had been active last weekend, leading to speculation that he was alive — only for police to establish that the account was in fact being accessed by his family.

Of course, the disappearance of a loved one is understandably stressful, and some erratic behaviour is perhaps to be expected by those close to McKeague.

Equally, his family can be forgiven for attempting to protect his privacy. But five months after he vanished, there remain important unanswered questions.

Why, for example, have none of the friends who, it was said, he was out with on the night he vanished been named or spoken publicly?

Why have no RAF colleagues discussed their missing comrade, or made pleas for information?

Why, if he intended to go on a drunken late night out, did McKeague park his BMW in a pay-and-display car park where he'd have to collect it by 9am the following day — rather than find a free parking space a short walk away?

Above all, why are so many astonishing revelations continuing to emerge?

For with every new detail we uncover, the less the disappearance of Corrie McKeague appears to make sense.

This is new but not unexpected I guess...

Police are now investigating about 20 other 'friends' whom he knew via the website, including eight women, four transsexuals or transvestites, two men and six couples. Of particular interest is believed to be 'Oriental-transvestite', a user of Fab Swingers who claims to live in East London, not far from the Millennium Dome.

They still get the how the car was parked wrong though!

This bloke had more holidays than a McCann. I'm surprised he had time to do any airmaning. What was his rank/role/job thingy anyway? Surely they didn't let him loose with an actual aeroplane?

I remember reading something a while back that there was speculation of him running off and hiding with some rich bloke from London.

He was a 'gunner' I believe. Whatever that entails on a day to day basis then no idea.

Well wow to the DM!

Shame they don't lay into the inconsistencies behind another missing person enquiry quite so vigorously though.

The RAF is made up of trade groups, all working to keep the aircraft flying etc. Pilots of course but also Armourers, Technicians, engineers, ATC, firemen, Chefs, Supply, MT etc.
Gunner is a member of The RAF Regiment, or the RAFs soldiers if you like. Whilst every Airman has some military training their day job is their trade the RAF Regt day job is Soldiering, Airfield protection, ground defence, security patrols etc

Never found anything salacious enough to sell papers perhaps? Oh and of course those 'others' have PR, lawyers, and all sorts of big guns holding their hands.

And a trained Medic from what I have read.

WOW well done Guy Adams of DM !! Never thought I would say that about MSM though. On another note does Corrie either own only one pink shirt or several pink shirts. In pretty much every photo of him in different places and at different times he is wearing a pink shirt

Hello all (and especially fellow Reddit newbies who may, like me, still be stumbling amongst these threads feeling slightly bewlidered.) I was thinking about things that have been mentioned during the Corrie-hunt, as some stick in my mind, and I googled to see if I could find out any more about something that happened in October. I am now even more curious as I was sure it had been on the Police website or local newspaper but appears to have been removed. There is no information that I can find about anyone being caught for an assault, just no reference at all. A man walking his dogs was assaulted by being smacked round the back of the head with a glass bottle in Mildenhall woods. He was knocked unconscious. The only place I can find reference to it is on the Mildenhall Community Group UK FB page, posted by his partner on 23rd October, the day it happened. I just wondered if this could be linked to the case, but it seems strange that I now can't find the report. Hmmm......

From the DM article and now this person on reddit quite a few things are being deleted. All seems to have gone quiet on the FindCorrie page apart from comments about the search on Sunday. Pammy is no longer an admin on the other FB page - too busy with her other pages apparantly.

I agree Benevolent. All very strange. What I can't get my head round here is do we actually know that Corrie has recently had access to one of his dating sites in the last week, or has this been a member of his 'family' or whoever.

I was thinking the same, with the family interferring ( I know that sounds harsh) with his SM accounts it makes it very difficult for the police to investigate who was using what and when. I wonder if that's the idea or if it was done with purely innocent reasons by the family ???

Hellllooo

Can anyone explain to me the now latest rumour courtesy of WS that Corrie has previously worked as a rent boy??!!

Seriously I can't keep up.....

I was hoping that if Corrie had accessed his site (although I'm not convinced now) there was a chance he was still alive. I have always gone for the AWOL theory. Not so sure now.

All I've got from Reddit is someone on WS cracked the case, but it all got whooshed, and those that did catch it were trying to work out what it meant and what site it came from and apparently the rumour is is that it's a 'rent boy' site - if such a thing is possible....., I'll update soon as. Know what's going on, unless someone here can shed some light on it?

It has all been whooshed from WS, but noone there has mentioned rent boys I think that bit has only come from Reddit imo
