A source told the Mirror: "It won't be easy for them but they want to go so they fell close to Corrie."

Earlier today Nicola shared new pictures of her vanished son.

In the images the 23-year-old can be seen smiling broadly for the camera.

He was last seen in the early hours of 24 September in Bury St Edmunds heading into a loading bay known as the "Horseshoe" filled with waste bins.

His heartbroken mother Nicola Urquhart posted the new pictures to the "Find Corrie" Facebook page.

She described her son as her "pride and joy"; and "always smiling for the camera".

Suffolk Police said a bin lorry where the 23-year-old's phone was last tracked, weighed more than originally thought.

Nicola wrote on Facebook that the news could ";devastatingly only mean one thing".

The news comes just a day after his pregnant girlfriend shared a never before seen picture of the couple, with the message: "I miss you every day".

She has shared the touching image as police continue to trawl the landfill site in Milton for the 23-year-old's body after fresh evidence came to light.

Initial data showed the weight of the waste collection from the horseshoe area on the night Corrie went missing in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, was over 11kg, but .

Corrie's dad Martin McKeague, 48, said yesterday that visiting the landfill site where police are searching for his son's body was like staring into a "piece of hell."

He also said he felt "no anger whatsoever" at Suffolk and Norfolk police over the bin lorry .

Corrie went missing after a night out with friends on September 24, last year.

He was last seen on CCTV going into an area of the town called the horseshoe.

Mr McKeague said: "I can only speculate it could possibly be some tragic accident that Corrie possibly could have gotten into the bin or something sinister might have happened that might have led him to be put in the bin."

Officers in white suits and breathing masks were spotted walking the rubbish site as they combed the area for the RAF man's body.

The full-scale search is expected to take eight to 10 weeks and comes after preparatory work which involved

She wrote: “I hurt every day.

“I cry every morning and night.

“I’ve never missed anyone so bad.

“The pain is unbearable. No one understands the pain or hurt of missing the person you love every second of the day and night.”

April signed off her message with kisses.
