'LAUGHING & HAPPY'
Video of missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague released by family as they search for answers three months after he vanished
Mum Nicola Urquhart shared footage of her son singing along to song from musical Wicked
MISSING serviceman Corrie McKeague’s mum has released a video of him singing to make sure the public don’t forget about her son.
The RAF gunner vanished more than three months ago during a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on September 24.

Corrie was reported missing after he failed to turn up at his base in RAF Honington, Suffolk, amid concerns something had happened to him after he tried to walk the ten miles back.
A month before his disappearance, he was filmed by his brother Makeyan singing along to a song from the musical Wicked as he sat in the garden.
His mum Nicola Urquhart said although it was difficult for her to share the video of her son, she "wanted people to see his nature and his personality".
Nicola, 48, said: "It shows him laughing and happy. He likes to make people laugh, he is just so charming.
"He's not this social butterfly that some people might make out. He likes to be everybody's friends and the centre of attention.
"He's not some lager lout."

Nicola – a serving police officer – added: "People are starting to get really angry with the police and things that haven't been done.
";I want them to remember finding Corrie is the most important thing, not getting angry with people."
Corrie was last seen at about 3am walking alone after buying food at a takeaway before napping in the doorway of an electrical shop.
He was wearing a light pink Ralph Lauren shirt, white jeans and brown suede timberland boots with light soles when he walked into a dead-end loading bay area known at the "horseshoe" but did not come out again.

Corrie is described as white, 5ft 10ins tall, of medium build, with short light brown hair.
His family have been raising money for a private investigator to look into the case, and so far almost 5,000 people have donated a total of more than £51,000.
Last week, Hollywood actor Tom Hardy joined the appeal to find him, releasing a touching video plea for information.

He said: “Nobody has seen or heard of him since and his family is extremely worried and desperate to find him...as soon as possible.”
A second public search for Corrie will take place on January 22 after more than 60 volunteers – including Nicola – joined in the first on December 17.
