Corrie's Mum: Missing Airman Could Be Found At Any Moment

The mother of missing RAF airman Corrie McKeague says he could be found at any moment.

Nicola Urquhart wrote on the Find Corrie Facebook group that rubbish being found by police searching a landfill suggests he could soon be found. She said:

"Due to the rubbish that is being found, if Corrie is in this landfill he could literally be found tomorrow. So we continue to wait for the phone call."

The search of the site in Milton, Cambridgeshire, was initially expected to take 12 weeks, but has now been ongoing for 17.

It was due to finish last week, with search teams having sifted through around 4,430 tonnes of waste, but was expanded as items dating back to last September continued to emerge.

A Suffolk Police spokeswoman is quoted by the Sun as saying officers "really just don't know" when anything relevant will be found, however. She said:

"It could be this week, it could be next week. We really just don't know.

"We've been finding things with those dates on throughout the search. While we are still finding things with the dates on the search will still continue."

It comes just over a week after the missing airman's girlfriend announced the birth of their baby, meanwhile.

April Oliver, from Norfolk, uploaded an image on her Facebook page on Father's Day of her cradling the girl.

Corrie McKeague has been missing since September, when he was last seen on CCTV after a night out with friends.
