I WAIT FOR A PHONE CALL EVERY DAY..
Corrie mum’s search anguish
MISSING RAF gunner Corrie McKeague’s mum fears police have been given wrong information about his whereabouts.
Officers hunting for the 23-year-old have shifted 3100 tons of waste during their 10-week search of a landfill site.
Police believe he ended up in the back of a bin lorry after a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Cambridgeshire, in September. The Fifer’s mobile signal last pinged near the landfill site in Milton.
Mum Nicola Urquhart, 47, said yesterday: “It’s horrific.
“I wait for a phone call every day and I get a message that they’ve not found anything. The police were so confident Corrie was in the landfill but it’s becoming harder to believe they’ve been given the right information.
“I don’t think anyone is doing anything deliberate and I have every faith in the method the police have used to find him – but the part that crosses my mind is, where did that rubbish go?”
Bin company Biffa at first told police their lorry which was in the area where Corrie vanished had a load weighing just 11kg.
They later revealed it actually weighed 100kg – so Corrie could somehow have ended up in the back.
Suffolk Police said they have finished searching the area originally identified but will scour its edges, where waste has shifted over.
The search area held rubbish from the right town at the right time, they said.
