I've been followed this case but I'm left baffled

What could have happened to him? 4 months and not a thing.... nothing

Literally gone without a traceSad

I hope the report, that his dad is helping with the search, isn't true. Sad

The bin weighing 11kg when it was going to be emptied never made sense to me - surely the bin alone weighs that. It always seemed a massive weak point in the story that they'd just accept that - well, I guess they didn't.

NotStoppedAllDay · 07/03/2017 23:04

I suppose they subtract the weight of the bin to discount it

It still doesn't add up... why would Corrie be in a bin which was headed out to landfill. That would be a household waste bin.... food scraps, bin liners.

I could maybe understand him climbing into a recycling bin full of clean cardboard, but not a filthy everyday bin

Unless he was put in. But that doesn't add up either

I feel so sorry for Corrie's family and friends. It should never have taken almost 6 months for this to have come to light.

Corrie's private life has been dragged up and published all over the place. There's been all sorts of speculation about him and his character all of which his loved ones have had to read. All the while they should have had answers months ago.

It's been an absolute shambles.

Did they not use sniffer dogs and completely discount then possibility that Corrie was in/on the bin wagon despite his phone pinging on the bin lorry route doing speeds that indicated he/his phone was in the lorry?

I hate to think that the police have made a monumental fuck up with the whole investigation but it's taken all these months to finally get the real data and that was probably because of the perseverance of the officers involved.

Well people go missing every day

They don't all get this level of investment. He was initially just another missing person

"It's a former Suffolk police special Constable who now works for the bin firm. Charged with perverting the course of justice."

Just to be clear, he hasn't been charged. It seems to have been a genuine mistake - the man gave the weight as 11kg when it should have been at least 100kg. Quite a significant mistake to make - I wonder how it happened. The obvious explanation is a decimal point error (though that would mean the actual weight was 111kg rather than 100kg). I wonder how thoroughly the police investigated that possibility at the outset. Once they knew that his mobile phone signal coincided with the route and timing of the bin lorry driving to the landfill site, then clearly the most likely explanation was that he was in the bin.

NotStopped one of the reports said it was a recycling bin although of course that raises questions about why it ended up in landfill.
I don't understand how the police checked the lorry but didn't find any forensics to link Corrie to it. That seems like a major mistake.

I only read about this a few weeks ago. I thought he'd probably gone AWOL. But it is very strange and with all the cctv footage you'd think they would be able to have some clue as to what has happened. People don't just disappear.

Heartbreaking for the family.
A shocking error on behalf of the Suffolk Constabulary and the Waste disposal company.

ThisIsStartingToBoreMe · 08/03/2017 19:17

Yes it is a shocking error. More so that Suffolk Constabulary made it. Did they just take the waste disposal company's word for it then? I guess they must have.

I'm guessing then that he climbed into the bin to sleep and it was a green bin with newspaper and cardboard, not a landfill bin. How did he actually die though?

Police stopped further lorries tipping there... for whatever reason. No other loads dumped since September
