Police return to landfill site for missing RAF man

Police are to resume the search for Corrie Mckeague, the missing RAF gunner.

The 23-year-old was last seen walking through Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, after a night out with friends.

A five-month search of a landfill site was called off in July after no evidence of his body was found. But Suffolk Police said that after rechecking the information available to them, the investigative team concluded the area of the original search “is still the location where there was the highest likelihood of finding Corrie”.

The force said the resumed search, likely to take between four and six weeks, would concentrate on an area next to the site of the earlier search. Mr Mckeague, from Fife, Scotland, but based at RAF Honington, was last seen on CCTV at 3.25am on Sept 24 2016.
