Corrie McKeague’s mum reveals she is trying to ‘stay positive’ as police teams continue search landfill site
Nicola Urquhart thanked followers on the "Find Corrie" Facebook page and reshared an appeal
CORRIE McKeague's mum has revealed she is "trying to stay positive" as police teams continue to search a landfill site for her son.
Nicola Urquhart thanked followers on the "Find Corrie" Facebook page and reshared an appeal to trace a potential witness to her son's disappearance.
She said: "Although I am awaiting conformation I believe that we are now down to one final person to be identified, The elderly person wearing glasses in McDonald's is the last one for now."
"Although so very difficult, what works for us is to stay positive, thankful and appreciative of all those helping to find Corrie it is what helps myself, Makeyan and Darroch through this," she added.
"It is every single one of you on here that has collectively brought us to where we are now, we can never thank you enough."
It comes as the mum-of-three slammed "bullies" who share theories about Corrie's disappearance on a separate Facebook page.
Nicola described the "Corrie McKeague discussion and theories page as "nasty and cruel" and said "it's on par with bullying".
She added: "Even those who sit by and say nothing are still encouraging the awful comments.
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and freedom to discuss things - but what I get sent is hurtful."
Nicola says she is removing anyone who is a member of the "cruel" page from the official "Find Corrie" page.
"There is never and should never ever be discussion about sides of a family," she added.
"We ALL want Corrie back. I choose to surround myself and my sons with the positivity of this page."
Corrie's dad yesterday slammed plans for a concert in Corrie's name as "bad taste".
Martin McKeague voiced his concern after it was announced Corrie's mum said she wanted to put the concert on to raise funds for the charities that have joined in the search.
Corrie's Concert would raise funds for groups including Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue (SULSAR), who have been pictured searching alongside Nicola Urquhart.
But Martin, 48, who is separated from Nicola, slammed the idea, saying: "It's in bad taste.
"It's a disgrace that plans are being made to hold 'Corrie's Concert' when we have not even found our son."
Corrie, 23, went missing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds last year and hasn't been seen since.
Anyone with information about Corrie's disappearance is asked to call the incident room at Suffolk Police on 01473 782019.
