Corrie McKeague’s mum believes missing RAF airman could be found today as police continue search of landfill site

THE mother of missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague believes he could be found today as police continue to search through a landfill.

Nicola Urquhart, 48, said rubbish being found by cops trawling through the site suggests he could be found any moment.

She made the revelation on the Find Corrie Facebook group in an update to its 128,000 members.

Nicola 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, Cambs, was originally expected to take 12 weeks.

But Nicola said the area cops were still finding rubbish from September, when her son was last seen.

It comes just a week after Corrie’s girlfriend April Oliver, 21, announced she had given birth to their daughter.

April, from Downham Market, Norfolk, was hospitalised two weeks ago after doctors feared the stresses of Corrie still being missing may harm the baby.

She revealed she was expecting Corrie’s child two weeks after his disappearance last September.

But the RAF gunner’s father Martin McKeague claimed last month that Corrie knew she was pregnant days before he went missing.

Corrie, 23, was last seen on CCTV walking into a refuse area behind a Greggs in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, after a night out with pals on September 24.

His mobile phone was traced as following a similar route to the landfill site, but it was initially thought he couldn’t be there because the load was too light.

In March it emerged a blunder had been made and it actually weighed more than 15st 10lb.

Specialist search teams have so far sifted through around 4,430 tonnes of waste at the tip.

The search was due to finish last week but was expanded as items dating back to last September continued to emerge.

But a Suffolk Police spokeswoman said officers “really just don’t know” when anything relevant will be found at the site.

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.”
