Cops hunting for missing RAF man Corrie McKeague resume search at landfill site
Officers in white suits and breathing masks returned for day six of the search at the tip in Milton, Cambridgeshire
COPS have returned to the landfill site to search for missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague after taking a break over the weekend.
Officers in white suits and breathing masks returned for day six of the search at the tip in Milton, Cambridgeshire.
Corrie's mum Nicola Urquart is expected to visit later this week.
Cops have already searched through 250 tonnes of rotting waste at the site, which is guarded by security 24 hours a day.
Corrie, 23, has not been seen since a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk in September.
Earlier this week, Suffolk Police said a bin lorry where Corrie's phone was tracked, which was originally thought to weigh too little to contain him, actually had a weight of more than 100kg.

Officers have now revealed they are "confident" they will find his body at the landfill.
Last week Corrie's dad, Martin McKeague, 48, said that visiting the landfill site was like staring into a "piece of hell."
He said that they, like everyone else, could only speculate about what had happened to Corrie, who 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.
"But like everyone else we can only speculate."
He said the last six months had been "a rollercoaster with a lot of lows."
"From the moment that my wife told me, I was grieving from that moment and this has been the most horrendous time.
"It's been like a rollercoaster with a lot of lows, an awful lot of lows," he said.
"But I'm beginning to focus and finding the strength in myself to see this out over the next few days, weeks, however long this is going to take, and the months ahead."
