A drag queen who performed on Britain's Got Talent has spoken of his fears over the disappearance of best friend Corrie McKeague.
Aaron Carty, 30, a former police officer turned Beyonce drag queen formed a friendship with the RAF gunner after meeting at one of his shows.
Corrie, 23, went missing on a drunken night out with colleagues in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on September 24, 2016.
He had his picture taken with friend Aaron just days before his disappearance.
Aaron told The Sun: "There feels like there must be a third party involved because people don’t just disappear."
“There is always a trace for this to suggest someone else was involved in some way.”
Mr Carty spoke out about his friend's disappearance after Corrie's mother Nicola Urquhart revealed the RAF man and his girlfriend used a swingers website.
Aaron said: "“He didn’t have a secret life, that wasn’t Corrie at all. He wouldn’t hide anything from anyone."
Last week Corrie's girlfriend revelead she was pregnant with his child which he didn't know about when he disappeared.
Corrie was last seen on CCTV at 3.25am wearing a light pink Ralph Lauren shirt, white jeans and brown suede Timberland boots with light soles.
The last sighting shows him walking from a shop doorway and into a horseshoe-shaped area in Brentgovel Street, with no sign of him emerging.
Despite exhaustive police and RAF searches, there have been no clues to the whereabouts of the gunner who was based at RAF Honington.
