Missing RAF man's mother: 'Someone else involved'

Corrie Mckeague is described as white, 5ft 10ins, of medium build, with short light brown hair

The mother of a missing airman believes somebody else must be involved in his disappearance.

Corrie Mckeague, 23, a gunner based at RAF Honington in Suffolk, went missing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds.

He was last spotted on CCTV walking alone and eating a takeaway in the town at 03:20 BST on 24 September.

His mother Nicola Urquhart wrote in a Facebook post: "Police are confident Corrie is not still in Bury and has not left on foot."

Nicola Urquhart said she believed there was third party involvement in Mr Mckeague's disappearance

Ms Urquhart, from Dunfermline, said: "This can only mean there is third party involvement, there is just no evidence so far to prove criminality.

"As such I would ask people to help me find this evidence as someone does know something."

Suffolk police have said there "is nothing to suggest" his status as an airman was a factor in his disappearance.

Police say they have traced three people they wanted to speak to.

They were near Short Brackland in Bury St Edmunds at 04:20 on 24 September - about an hour after the airman was last seen in the town centre - on CCTV cameras outside The Grapes pub.

Police said they would be talking to the three people identified.

Officers said they also spoke to a number of other people this weekend and they were now going through the information gathered.
