Episode 52: Corrie McKeague. This week Joannagh tells us about the strange case of Corrie McKeague, a young RAF Serviceman who vanished - seemingly without a trace - following a night out in Bury St Edmunds.
Joannagh describes the events leading up to Corrie's disappearance including the apparent confusion displayed by the young Serviceman on the last CCTV images available.
We also hear how record keeping errors and miscommunication caused severe delays to key lines of enquiry - potentially ruining any chance of recovering crucial evidence.

Produced by Emma Taylor & Joannagh Shanks
