Review Concludes All Reasonable Lines In Missing Corrie McKeague Case Were Explored

A review has concluded that officers involved in the Corrie McKeague investigation were “thorough, methodical and explored all reasonable lines of inquiry”.

The review was conducted by the East Midlands Special Operations Unit to discover whether any other lines of inquiry should be looked into to uncover new information.  

The report, produced from the review, states that no new further leads needed to be pursued.

It concludes that Corrie is most likely to be the Milton landfill site and that the continued search of the site is the correct action to take.

Suffolk Police have faced criticism over the way they handled the case. 

Nick Biddiss, a former detective said earlier this year:

"You don't even need to be a detective to understand that there has been mistakes here. Any reasonable person would have undertook an investigation of that site a lot earlier. All you need to see are the words bin, lorry, landfill site."

Suffolk Constabulary confirmed today that they had received the report, but that it would be not be released to the public due to it containing operationally sensitive material.

Police resumed the search of the missing RAF airman on October 23rd, just over a year after he was last seen.

The East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) is a collaborative team uniting specialist officers and staff from the region’s five police forces (Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire) in tackling major crime, and serious and organised crime.
