Cops close lane of A14 over hunt for missing RAF man Corrie McKeague as ‘new information’ surfaces
COPS have closed a lane on the A14 as new information emerges in the hunt for missing RAF man Corrie McKeague.
Police hunting the missing 23-year-old have closed one lane of the eastbound motorway between Moreton Hall and Rougham.
Search teams have been combing the area since 10am this morning.
A police spokeswoman said the operation would span a mile and a half of road and last at least a day, before the road is reopened for the evening rush hour.
Corrie was last seen in the early hours of September 24 after a night out with friends in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Despite police combing through more than 1,100 hours of CCTV footage, no trace of Corrie has been found.
The RAF and volunteers from Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue have assisted with water searches in the River Lark and in bodies of water and ditches between the town and the base.

Detective Superintendent Katie Elliott said: "We have to keep an open mind as there is no key line of inquiry to take us in any one direction.
"We can't rule anything out and therefore we have to continue to investigate all possibilities.
"Despite extensive searches, CCTV viewing, media appeals and many behind the scenes enquiries we still do not have a lead which takes us forward.
"Many theories are being explored and work is ongoing to trace everyone who was in the area around the key time as they may have information that may help."
