Cops hunting missing RAF man Corrie McKeague who vanished on night out close off busy A-road as part of hunt
His mother, uncle, brothers and police officers have appealed to find him - cops think three teens may have been the last to see him
POLICE looking for a missing RAF man today closed an A-road to search for clues.
Corrie McKeague, 23, was last seen on CCTV more than a week ago after a night out with friends in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
There have been no sightings since he was seen on camera at 3.20am on September 24.
His mobile phone has not been found despite analysis suggesting it has been moved more than 20 miles away.
His Nokia Lumia 435 was last known to be connected to a phone mast in Barton Mills about five hours after he was last seen.
Today, after closing off roads nearby to where the phone might be yesterday, police and RAF officers are searching the A11 - a busy main road which runs in Norwich, Norfolk.
Yesterday cops were appealing for a teenage girl and two boys who were in the Short Brackland area on the morning of his disappearance to come forward to help with the investigation.
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 the morning Corrie went missing.
Police believe that the three teenagers may have seen Corrie in the area after the last confirmed sighting.
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 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.
Earlier this week cops seized a bin lorry to check if it contained his missing mobile phone.
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.
