Cops hunting missing RAF man Corrie McKeague have trawled 1,100 hours of CCTV – but still have no leads
Frustrated police admit we "don't have new leads" more than six weeks after the 23-year-old disappeared
COPS are still NO closer to finding missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague despite "trawling through more than 1,100 hours of CCTV".
The 23-year-old mysteriously disappeared in the early hours of September 24 following a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
He did not return to the RAF Honnington base, sparking a massive police manhunt.
Footage shows Corrie walking through Bury St Edmunds at 3.25am but the search has drawn a blank.
Detectives have studied CCTV from the local authority, businesses and private sources with help from Metropolitan Police officers to make sure nothing has been missed.
The local railway line has been scoured by British Transport Police, while the National Police Air Service helicopter has also been deployed in the hunt, reports .
Volunteers from Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue, along with the RAF, have helped with water searches in the River Lark, and areas between the town and the base.

Detective Superintendent Katie Elliott said: "We have to keep an open mind as there is no key line of inquiry to take us in any one direction.
"We can't rule anything out and therefore we have to continue to investigate all possibilities.
"Despite extensive searches, CCTV viewing, media appeals and many behind the scenes enquiries we still do not have a lead which takes us forward.
"Many theories are being explored and work is ongoing to trace everyone who was in the area around the key time as they may have information that may help."
Last month, Mr McKeague's mother Nicola Urquhart told Sky News she feared her son had been taken against his will.
His uncle, Tony Wringe, has also accused Suffolk Police of withholding information from the family and failing to follow up a number of leads.
This includes the decision not to search a landfill site in Barton Mills where Corrie's phone was traced.
A bin lorry, which was in the exact area that Corrie was last seen also made the journey from Bury to Barton Mills, within a few minutes of Corrie’s phone arriving.
He added: "It is our summary that Corrie has disappeared against his will, a third party is involved.
"There are numerous leads that have not been followed up and evidence that has not been effectively processed."
It is believed the member of RAF Regiment 2 Squadron tried walk the ten miles back to the base when he vanished.
It emerged Corrie bought food from Pizza Mama Mia in Bury St Edmunds between 1.15am and 1.30am on the night he went missing.
While he was in the takeaway he sat with a group of people who have not yet been traced.
