The uncle of missing RAF serviceman Corrie McKeague has told Sky News military intelligence grade software has helped to narrow down the possible outcomes of what happened to the 23-year-old airman.
Mr McKeague, originally from Dunfermline in Fife, went missing on 24 September last year, following a night out in Bury St Edmunds.
He was last spotted on CCTV at 3.20am entering a cul-de-sac loading bay area known as the 'Horseshoe’.
It would be impossible to leave that particular area on foot without being captured by CCTV cameras. However, there was so sign of him leaving.
Police seized a refuse vehicle that was in the area when Mr McKeague disappeared. However, when it was weighed, its load was found to be too light to have carried a body.
But Mr McKeague's uncle Tony Wringe said the bin lorry theory was "still an active line of inquiry", adding that other refuse vehicles could have been involved.
"There's all these other bins that were collected by other vehicles within two to four days after Corrie's disappearance," Mr Wringe said.
Mr Wringe believes Mr McKeague could still be in the area where he was last seen.
"The full area has not been cleared. That's everything - roofs, gutters, basements, empty cupboards and storage areas."
Mr Wringe revealed that not all the cars that were seen leaving the area at the time of Mr McKeague's disappearance have been ruled out of the police investigation.
"There were four vehicles in the area in the window of time that's of most interest to the investigation team. That is an open line of inquiry," he said.
Private investigators with a military background have been brought in to collate information and analyse it using specialist technology. The investigators have a background of supplying information to special forces in war zones like Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Their services have been paid for out of an online crowdfunding venture which has raised more than £50,000 from donors worldwide.
