Corrie McKeague investigation sees detectives question woman, 28, who revealed she met missing RAF airman through swingers’ site
COPS probing the disappearance of Corrie McKeague are quizzing a woman who claims she met him through a swingers' website.
The 28-year-old has revealed she went on a date with the RAF serviceman five months before he mysteriously vanished on a night out.
“I have told the police what they need to know and the police can deal with it.
";I met him once and that was it, I never heard from him again."
Corrie McKeague's mum Nicola Urquhart revealed he had been a member of a swinging website called Fab Swingers - telling "haters" to "get over it".
His pregnant girlfriend, April Oliver, 21, also had an account, she said.
I met him once and that was it, I never heard from him again.
Woman who dated Corrie McKeague
Nicola said: “April has asked me to post this on the page. Corrie and April were on dating sites, they are young and were enjoying themselves.
"They were both seeing other people, this has not been hidden.
“April and Corrie had a Fab Swingers account, to the haters, get over it. This is none of your business.
“April could have easily deleted her account as I could have deleted Corrie's however what was far more important than a little embarrassment was that the police were informed immediately and given every ability to ensure this did not have anything to do with Corrie's disappearance.
"Which they are still doing. I only hope they have had the time to carry out all investigations.”
Last week April announced she was expecting the RAF gunner’s child who is believed to be due in late spring or early summer.
The couple had been together for around five months after meeting on a dating site and were, according to Mrs Urquhart, both seeing other people.
Corrie, originally from Dunfermline, Fife, has been missing for more than 16 weeks after going on a night out with pals in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.
Following a Q&A session with Corrie’s brother Darroch, Nicola took to Corrie’s official Facebook page to clarify comments about her son’s private life.
Just hours before the post, an anonymous Reddit user posted a link to Corrie's swinger page which have since been removed.
It comes as images allegedly from Corrie's profile on Fab Swingers emerged, showing the gunner posing in a black-and-white selfie, with the words: "Hello all, come say hi."
Further details state the user is looking for couples, both male and female and a female couple and women aged between 18 to 40.
Nicola added: “Although, anyone that has just watched Darroch on Facebook live they will see that there are things about Corrie's life that he wishes people would just leave alone we know it has nothing to do with the investigation and realise I am predominantly feeding the haters.
“Last week April had to publicly tell the world about her private life, something we all tried to keep private for both her and their baby, predominantly at April’s insistence as April’s main concern is finding Corrie.
"Sadly others would not leave her alone and were constantly messaging hateful remarks to us.
“After many long discussions April, her parents and us all felt she was really left with no choice as it was coming out anyway. with our full support we helped this happen."
Contacted at home for further comment, Mrs Urquhart said "I don't want to talk" before putting down the phone.
Yesterday, an unknown Reddit user shared Corrie’s Fab Swingers profile before deleting the account it was posted from.
The post was left open and attracted dozens of comments from shocked social media users who questioned whether Corrie had arranged to meet someone from the site on the night he went missing.
Some users speculated that there could be a link between Corrie's disappearance and his membership of the swingers site.
Another said: “Oh my. So Corrie was a long term member of a swingers site and him and the girlfriend had a joint account too? I'm shocked.”
And one user wrote: “Ah yes and have just found their couple's one too. Joined five months ago. Last on four months ago but haven't been verified by anyone so haven't met anyone as a couple.
"The plot thickens. How long ago did the 'girlfriend' say they met?”
Corrie, a gunner and team medic, was last seen on CCTV at 3.25am in Bury St Edmunds town centre.
He was wearing a light pink Ralph Lauren shirt, white jeans and brown suede Timberland boots with light soles and was spotted walking alone, eating takeaway.
Last week Corrie’s uncle Tony Wringe revealed the family had hired private investigators who were using military software to help with the search.
The new move comes after thousands of kind supporters donated money totalling over £50,000 to help towards search costs.
Since Corrie's disappearance Suffolk Police has carried out "extensive" investigative work including searching nearby woodland areas and scouring hundreds of hours of CCTV.
However in November, following criticism from Corrie’s uncle, the force admitted they had “no leads”.
On Monday it was revealed that police were bringing in sniffer dogs to search the town where he went missing.
A spokeswoman for Suffolk Constabulary said: “Police are aware of the social media and websites Corrie was using and this is part of our investigation. We will not be commenting further at this time.”
