Mckeague incinerator search draws a blank
Police searching for missing RAF gunner Corrie Mckeague have found no trace of him in waste taken from an incinerator plant.
The site at Great Blakenham, near Ipswich, was examined after the search of a landfill site at Milton, Cambridgeshire, was called off.
Although the incinerator site was known to contain animal bones from food waste, no human bones were found.
Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline, who was based at RAF Honington in Suffolk, vanished after a night out with friends in Bury St Edmunds on September 24 last year.
Police still believe the 23-year-old’s remains are somewhere on the sprawl- ing landfill site at Milton, but called off the search after 20 weeks.
A Suffolk Police spokesman saidtheyhad“engagedexperts to examine incinerated waste gathered from the facility and it has been confirmed that this matter does not contain human bone material.”
