Amy’s father pleads for information

Thursday, 15 January 2009

THE father of missing Coolock girl Amy Fitzpatrick is appealing to people who may have information about her disappearance to contact a private investigator who has taken on the case. Liam A Brady, a professional special investigator, is now working on the case and hopes to re-examine all evidence and documentation where possible. Christopher Fitzpatrick, Amy’s father, said the family knows there are people who have information that would help find his daughter. “This is a special appeal to those who, for whatever reason, have chosen to remain silent or have not been able to share information up to now,” Mr Fitzpatrick told Northside People. “Please do the right thing and share what you know. In Spain, the Guardia Civil can be contacted on +34636079619. “If you cannot contact the relevant authorities or the family then perhaps you can contact Liam or provide information in private.” Mr Fitzpatrick said information can be submitted on Amy’s section of the investigator’s website at www.liamabrady.ie It is also possible for anyone with information to submit information anonymously via the online form if they do not wish their identity to be known. “Whether you have direct knowledge of what happened or are simply a friend who might have heard or seen something around that time which may be relevant, please take the time to send details, no matter how insignificant they may appear,” he added. “We are also appealing to third parties who may have information or people connected with the case. “Perhaps you know specific details or have seen information, whether confirmed or otherwise, which may give a new direction to the search. “How you have come by information which may be relevant, you can be assured of my appreciation and blessing for any details that you can share which can help bring Amy back.” A substantial reward is being offered to any person providing information that could lead to a significant breakthrough in the case. Mr Fitzpatrick also thanked those who have helped the campaign over the last year. “It has been 12 months since Amy went missing in Mijas, Spain, and not a day has gone by since then that her family and friends have not suffered to know where Amy is,” he added. “I know from the many letters of support and calls I have received that the pain of her disappearance is shared by many of you - family, friends and even people who did not know Amy but for whom the story has touched a nerve. “Thank you all for your support to date but this is an appeal for more.” Private investigator Liam A Brady has detailed on his website how people may be able to help the investigation. “If you participated in or facilitated Amy's disappearance, now is the time to come forward,” he states. “It does not matter how or why - we just want to bring Amy home so that all who love her can be at peace. “Amy's many special friends are asked again to reflect on happenings and conversations in the days and weeks leading up to when she went missing. “If you have been involved in the search for Amy and are in possession of information, even if this information is not generally in the public domain or is unconfirmed, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in collating a complete picture of the events leading up to and subsequent to January 1, 2008.”
