The Mystery of Corrie McKeague

does not mean he was not, but he was not seen on CCTV in the cab, or in/on the rear of the vehicle as it passed the cameras. No forensic trace was detected either, assuming we can trust that the correct vehicle was ever actually inspected. The forensic search of the bins didn't happen until months later (may not have been the same bins - I went through there a number of times and saw different bins almost every time).
However, we have since learned that the timings and direction of travel of the vehicle In the area of the Horseshoe are not what we were first told - it is also difficult to understand how it is possible the apparent difference in sequence/direction etc. could have been mistaken.
It is frustrating as a considerable amount of the bin Lorry and waste site investigation is as a result of information or direction from our team to Suffolk Constabulary. From the calibration checks on the weighing arm, the vehicle tachometer analysis, the mobile phone faraday experiment and even identifying and providing the name and other information regarding key individuals who were subsequently arrested or interviewed (not consistent with what their Media officer is saying, but the integrity of all of the media reporting can be examined at a later date - finding Corrie is more important).
At the outset WE made the observation that there could only be 3 possibilities:
Corrie was still in the horseshoe area
He left on foot
He left in a vehicle
Within the first few hours/days the local Police team were telling us he was not there and was not seen on CCTV leaving on foot. This left the vehciles. The most obvious deduction on the circumstantial evidence (the bin area, the bin Lorry, the phone ping - nobody had come forward to say they had seen Corrie etc.), we assumed he may have gone out in the bin Lorry - we also knew about the 4 vehicles at that time, 2 were almost immediately ruled out, 1 still never has been (seems we don't want to upset the local American military relationship) and the bin van.
We begged the Police to search the tip. They said no... and never. Nicola pleaded with them to at least secure the area. Again, no, they wanted to hand it back to the operator and that they did not feel there was any future value in holding the site. Through luck or judgement the waste site operator did not dump much/any more waste on that area of the tip - this was nothing to do with the Police.
We spoke to the Police and the Military liaison about using military resources to conduct the search. The Royal Engineers are experts at this sort of thing, as they are used to carefully clearing explosive sites in urban and rural locations. They have the people, equipment for conducting delicate searches in unsafe environments... They also have more than one excavator. The area being searched is nearer to the size of a football pitch than a tennis court - you could grid it into a search area where twice as many people could be searching.
Every minute they take to do this, there is a Mother staring at her phone hoping for it to ring and praying that it won't.
This should have happened 5 months ago - permitting a full stop on the search activity because an excavator isn't working seems perverse when there are so many instant options available to replace it. If this was the Chief Inspector's son, do we think the search would have stopped for this?

This left the vehciles. The most obvious deduction on the circumstantial evidence (the bin area, the bin Lorry, the phone ping - nobody had come forward to say they had seen Corrie etc.), we assumed he may have gone out in the bin Lorry - we also knew about the 4 vehicles at that time, 2 were almost immediately ruled out, 1 still never has been (seems we don't want to upset the local American military relationship) and the bin van.

The American Military bit jumped out at me as well but I just can't convince myself that everything that Uncle T says is the truth and nothing but the truth...

As some have already been hearing on heart radio This Morning.
As I've said from the start I will always try to find ways of raising funds for SULSAR and the charities that's have helped to support us to find Corrie. But I also want to find a way of showing the amazing community spirit , the kindness and love that has been shown to myself, Makeyan, Darroch and our famlies.

So plans are underway to have  CORRIES CONCERT this summer.

This will be a charity event and we hope to include as many local traders and members of the community that feel they could bring something positive to a full day event that celebrates everything beautiful about this area.

This will take a huge amount of planing but we have a If anyone has skills or suggestions that may help.proffesional at our helm by the name of Ollie, so now we bring it together.
