Police failed to search the waste site near to where he was last seen because they said the bin lorry payload was only 15 kilograms (33 lb).
I always thought that was a mistake. Why would a bin lorry make a 26 mile round trip if it was empty?
Now, 6 months later, the Police now say it wasn't empty after all.
Has this investigation been a farce from the start?

It still seems to me that if the Police had searched that landfill site last year, they would have found something. They were far too ready to accept the evidence of the bin lorry weighing.
As Eddie has said, that weight of 11kg was hardly believable.
If they had initiated a search last year, there would have 6 months less rubbish to cope with and maybe they could have seen the wood for the trees.
He may even had still been alive.

I came across a website where the customer could pay for the collection according to the weight or by number of bins. As the collector visits more then one customer at the time there must be a system of weighing bins before they are emptied into the vehicle. I would suggest this weight of 11kg refers to the contents of a bin, not the contents of the vehicle.
Reading this it has become obvious that the weight was not calculated by putting the lorry on a weighbridge as we thought when we were discussing this the first time. The lorry itself has to have some form of weighing device that tells the driver how much weight he is carrying.
Obvious when you think about it as otherwise how could the driver on a multi pick up round know when he had reached his maximum allowed weight limit or how much he had picked up from each stop?
The customers are charged by the Kg for their waste collection.
The report says that the new figure of over 100Kg as obtained by 'analysing the raw data'
