"Police have arrested a 26-year-old man on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice as part of the continuing Corrie McKeague missing person investigation.

The man was arrested earlier today, Wednesday 1 March. He has been taken into custody where he will be interviewed on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice relating to information provided to the investigation.

The man is not the driver of the bin lorry which collected refuse from the area where Corrie was last seen but officers will not be giving any further details at this time, as work to discover what happened to the 23-year-old RAF serviceman continues."

How are they going to do it?
Push a pole in the ground at regular intervals? or dig up the whole lot?

Utterly amazing it's taken this long, how far back were people on here suggesting they should be doing this?

From what I think was said on the local news report last night is that area where they normally dump stuff they were told NOT to do so after his death and new new material was placed there.
They are taking it off bit by bit and spreading it over the land to allow them to search but it's still going to be a mammoth task!

when did they know he'd died?

We now learn that the weighing scales, which indicated 11kg on the day of disappearance including a mobile phone. was wrong. The actual weight the vehicle was carrying that day was in excess of 100kg.
Seems to have taken a long time for the accuracy of the weighing scales on the lorry to be determined.

Hmmmm....

Only thing I can possibly think of is that he's gone into the alleyway and fallen asleep in a bin (article says he'd previously been sleeping elsewhere) and may not have woken up/gotten out in time before the rubbish was collected in the morning?
Bin was too light according to the sensor. Though the phone would appear to have been in the bin, so it's possible the scales were wrong.
Sewers?

If that 100kg figure is accurate then i suppose it's pretty clear what has happened. Poor bloke, what a way to go.

What a shambles. It really was the only explanation from day one!

So, potentially (likely) they will now find the body...

Still doesn't explain how it came about, and forensics after this amount of time in the outside are going to be degraded.

With decomposition etc, why weren't the cadaver dogs allowed to have a preliminary wander round the landfill site? Surely they would have picked up a scent?

Well, yes.

I assumed they would be able to differentiate between that and a body though?

I didn't know the poor guy, but have been following the story since it was reported in September, obviously along with others following.

Makes me so mad that the landfill wasn't checked so early on.

I really don't know what else to say.

But I really hope this sort of thing never happens again, it shouldn't have in the first place!

I thought it was said it wasn't land fill and was manually sorted recycling a while back so a body would be impossible? Absolutely bizarre.
