That looks a very quiet area to be walking alone at such a late hour. Not very wise at all. I wonder why he didn't get a taxi or call friends to pick him up?

I hope...really hope...that this doesn't turn out to be what everyone on the BBC was trying hard not to mention; a second attempt by jihadis to snatch an airman off-station...
"Suffolk police also said there was nothing to suggest Corrie McKeague, who disappeared on 24 September, was abducted." |

So do I, phylo, and I sincerely hope that the Sky New report is correct:
"Suffolk police also said there was nothing to suggest Corrie McKeague, who disappeared on 24 September, was abducted." |

If he had been abducted, one would expect horrible videos of him being tortured and killed.
I suspect he has died either of exposure in a field somewhere or feel in a local river. There was a young single mum here in Scotland who went missing from the Glasgow quayside recently, obvious fears of sexual attack/murder. Turns out she was drunk and fell into the Clyde, her body took a few days to be recovered. |

I have seen me lose friends in a bar with 20 people in never mind a busy club in town etc, All it takes is someone to move a few feet from where they were and you look elsewhere for them and they return to that spot and someone says you have been and gone so they go looking and before you know it you are both in separate places looking for the other
Obviously a charged phone means this is easily sorted, But a flat phone and you are stuck Went back in to the pub and still no sign. Eventually gave up and went home. Thought perhaps I'd got the wrong day. Following day I rang my mate who asked my I hadn't turned up. Explained it all. Then found out they had been in the pub at the same time looking for me! How we all missed each other I have no idea and wouldn't have believed it possible. |

Doesn't sound good.
I hope he turns up ok at some point but not looking good. It's possible gone awol though. |

Did something similar a couple of months ago. Arranged to meet a couple of mates in a local pub. Turned up on time and thought I'd got there before them. Had a (soft) drink whilst waiting. Ten minutes later no sign. One mate has no mobile and I didn't have my other mates. I had a look around the small pub, checked outside, crossed the road to see if they were walking across the bridge from the other side of the river, nothing.

Perhaps you were in the tap room while they were in the pool room, or similar? That's happened to me once. I thought it was a really quiet pub with just a few old timers propping the bar up, turned out the other two thirds of the pub was packed out!

Bury St Edmunds is a pretty darn safe town, and I don't recall ever hearing of anyone being attacked while walking round there late at night. |

The police have not found his phone but have tracked it and are suggesting it was in a vehicle because of the distance it travelled so quickly. |

On that CCTV clip, he dropped something and picked it up (reasonably easily). But he was unsteady on his feet it seems.
Could he have dropped his phone and busted the screen? If so, he may just have decided to bin it. My brother has done this several times (while not in his right mind) "It's alright" he says "Android is great. I just buy a new phone and all my apps and data reappear from the Google backup" Speculation, I know. |

The bin would have been emptied. The phone was not in the one Bin Lorry they searched, but it might have been in another one. Or a Council handcart man might have emptied the town bins.
Or a passer-by could have taken it. It's just a random scenario. But it's not impossible. |

No cameras round the back of that street and further out of town, I guess
Or they are on 24 hr loops and been overwritten. |

Very strange, flyers have been delivered in the local area (we have one) to put in our cars.
Some more witnesses have been spoken to in the last week, one possible sighting along a road. |

Around 200,000 people go missing in the UK every year, of which around 30,000 are never seen again.
