Corrie Mckeague: 'nothing Found' In Landfill Search

[wolf63]

I would hate for someone that I loved to be missing - but I don't know what the next step will be in this investigation.

The not knowing must be truly awful.

[mikey4444]

Yes, I agree Mamy. This affair hasn't been handled properly from day one.

[anneasquith]

Why was he escorted out of the club ?

[mikey4444]

Anne....I think he was determined to be drunk. It now appears that getting drunk was not something that happened on rare occasions.

[anneasquith]

Thanks Mikey, wonder if this case will ever be solved ?

No, probably not Anne. I am guessing that he may have disappeared into one of the many small water courses that exist in this area. It was said months ago, that it would easy for him to take a short-cut, while drunk, and fall into one of these. His body would then have been taken out to sea and lost forever.

Eddie lives in this area....it will be interesting to see what his take on this is.

I pass the landfill site quite often but I have never had a reason to go into it, I just know it is a huge site . I can imagine it could be very hard to find a body under tens of thousands of tonnes of waste. The problem is I think the site was not searched for several weeks after he disappeared. By the time they started the search 1000s of tonnes more waste would have been dumped. There is often a queue of waste lorries waiting their turn to dump their loads.

[mikey4444]

I think we have to accept that his remains were not on the landfill site after all.

I live locally as well Eddie, and thats what most people think, but for Mikey to say that this affair hasn't been handled properly from day one, is ridiculous.

He could have wandered anywhere, when he left BSE, so why would the police think he was on a landfill site, till they found evidence in a waste vehicle much later?

[mikey4444]

trt....Evidence that he entered the loading bay was available from day 1, but the Police didn't act on it because the weight records of the skip lorry were not correct after all. More scepticism from the Police would have allowed a proper search to be made earlier.

From the OPers Link

///Although material from the time and place of Mr Mckeague's disappearance has been found at the landfill, the serviceman, from Dunfermline, Fife, has not been discovered.///

[Islay]

What happens next ? Well it appears whatever his mother demands!
At the end of the day he is an adult and may have chosen to go missing! Wasn't he the one that was involved with swingers and dodgy sex sites?
There is a young man missing over here at the moment and the search is no where near as involved as it is for Corrie - its actually the general public that is doing a lot of the searching here!

[Jackdaw33]

Why should the police have had reason to suspect that the weight records were wrong?

[Baldric]

//More scepticism from the Police would have allowed a proper search to be made earlier.///

\\\scepticism
noun
a sceptical attitude; doubt as to the truth of something.
"these claims were treated with scepticism"
synonyms: doubt, doubtfulness, dubiousness, a pinch of salt, lack of conviction;\\\

[EDDIE51]

I agree the entire thing was very badly handled.The original contention that the waste truck was only carrying 11 Kg of waste and so could not have contained the body was ludicrous .That meant it was weeks before the landfill site search was even started. It is normal practice to bury the waste by bulldozing soil over it, so if there had been a body it would have been buried under soil as well as tonnes more waste.
I have to say that if you did want to dispose of a body there are few better ways to do it than under a few thousand tonnes of waste in a gigantic land fill .

[wolf63]

It's easy to blame the police but I don't think that a change in tactics would have changed the current outcome.

[mikey4444]

Eddie has it right here. Corrie was seen to go into the loading area, but wasn't seen to leave. His Mobile phone signal was tracked to the land fill site.

So..... if he didn't leave the loading area in one of the waste trucks, then he must have left by another method.

The Police relied too much of the weight evidence from the waste lorry.

[EDDIE51]

I even know the loading area he went into, it is close to a very nice pub. Trying to remember the name.

[mikey4444]

I have been watching the BBC link again. His mother is saying the Police still believe that Corrie is in the land fill site, but that they are going to stop searching anyway.

I can't find any evidence of the Police actually saying that.
