Cops searching for three teenagers in connection with RAF serviceman who vanished amid abduction fears
Girl and two boys seen in early hours of September 24 near the last sighting of Corrie McKeague in Bury St Edmunds
POLICE are searching for three teenagers in connection with the disappearance of missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague.
Corrie, 23, was last seen on CCTV eleven days ago after a night out with friends in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Cops are appealing for a teenage girl and two boys who were in the Short Brackland area on the morning of his disappearance to come forward.
The three are said to be between the ages of 16 and 18.
Police described the girl as white, of quite slim build, possibly with blonde hair and wearing either a dark green or navy blue jumper-style top.
They said one of the two youths was wearing a hooded top.
The three were seen towards the back of Cornhill Walk shopping centre in Bury St Edmunds around 4.20am on September 24.
Police believe that the three teenagers may have seen Corrie in the area after the last confirmed sighting at 3.20am.
Temporary Superintendent Kim Warner said: "We should reassure them that we just wish to speak to them as potential witnesses at this stage.
"We appreciate that getting in touch with police may be intimidating but we do need to speak to you.
"At this stage in the investigation we just need to talk to anyone who may have seen Corrie during his night out so we can build a picture.
"We need to find him and a number of enquiries are being carried out to do this but we know, from CCTV images that we have already viewed, that he engaged with a number of people during his evening out.
"We have had several calls but still need to talk to anyone who may have seen him or spoken to him during the early hours.";
On the night of his disappearance Corrie was wearing a pink polo shirt and white jeans or trousers.
Police and his family believe he may have tried to walk back to his base at RAF Honington which is ten miles away.
Yesterday we told how cops seized a bin lorry to check if it contained his missing mobile phone, which was tracked moving a distance of 12 miles.
The phone did not move after it reached Barton Mills - the same route as the dust cart - and has not been used since, police said.
Anyone with information should call the police incident room on 01473 782019.
