Seven-week search for remains of RAF gunner who disappeared in September 2016 fails to find any trace of himThe search of a landfill for the remains of the missing RAF gunner Corrie McKeague has concluded without finding any trace of him. A 20-week search of the site at Milton, near Cambridge, finished earlier this year and a second search, lasting seven weeks, finished on Monday. McKeague, then 23, was last seen walking through Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, after a night out with friends in September 2016. It is thought he may have climbed into a waste bin that was then taken away by a bin lorry, prompting the landfill search. A Suffolk police spokesman said: “Police are content Corrie is not in the landfill areas which have now been searched.
