PRIVATE DETECTIVE HIRED TO HELP IN SEARCH FOR MISSING AMY FITZPATRICK

www.liamabrady.ie 

 Hi - my name is Christopher Fitzpatrick and I’m Amy’s dad.

It has been 12 months since Amy went missing in Mijas, Spain. Not a day has gone by since then that her family and friends have not suffered to know where Amy is. 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.

We know that there are people who have information which would help bring Amy back. This is a special appeal to those who, for whatever reason, have chosen to remain silent or who have not been able to share information up to now. Please, please - do the right thing and share what you know.

We have retained the services of Liam Brady to assist in reviewing the details of the case. In Ireland - information can be given to the Gardaí. In Spain, the Guardia Civil can be contacted on +34-636-079-619. If you cannot contact the relevant authorities or the family - then perhaps you can contact Liam or provide information in private.

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.

We are also appealing to third parties who may have come in contact with 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. Howsoever, you have come by information which may be relevant, you can be assured of my appreciation and blessing for any details which you can share which can help bring Amy back.

Thank you for taking the time to read this appeal and for any information which you can share.

Christopher

Letter to Amy from Ashley 

Dear amy,

I logged onto your bebo page today and looked at the pictures of last christmas. We looked so happy.

They made me remember all the good times we spent together. I left you a message, telling you all about how boring school is. I know you won't reply though. You never do.

Its been a year since you went missing, an every day since has been empty. We were so close- how could it not be?
when you first dissappeared i told myself you'd taken off with some new friend, or a new boy. You were 15, and always out at some club,or chatting to people. I was sure you'd ring any minute to tell me about your latest crazy adventure. But you didn't.

When the police turned up at my house a few days later, I got scared. It suddenly seemed so serious. " Just tell us where she is" they said over and over again- even though I told them I didn't know. It was like they thought I had something to do with it!

I felt sick. I wanted them to be out looking for you - not to be sat around questioning me. They thought you'd run away and i knew where you were. I wished i did. Wherever it was, i'd have been there.

I knew you hadn't run - because you hadn't been in touch. We were so close there was no way you would leave without telling me. I'd slept with my phone under my pillow, praying you';d text or call. But the weeks went by and I didnt hear from you. I'd log onto your bebo page, hoping for some sign you were ok. But there was nothing, apart from messages from your family and friends, begging you to get in touch. The ones from your Dad broke my heart. He wrote, " hi amy its dad. its nearly 8 weeks since you dissappeared and im going out of my mind with worry."

every day id obsessively replay the day you went missing, trying to remember if you'd given me any clues. But there was nothing. It was just a normal day in town- you dragging me into burger king, us arranging to meet at mine the next day. But you never came. and when i called to find out where you were your mum said you hadn't come home the night before.

Every day is coloured by your dissappearence. When friends come around for a sleepover, I think "Amy should be here with us". it feels like theres a big you-shaped hole in my life - like everyone else has got there best friend and they forget that mine is missing. Sometimes I need to be alone because i dont think they understand. I don't want to get a new boyfriend - not when i can't share it with you.

Your 16th birthday in Febuary was so hard. You should have been with me,chatting about your party. But even though you were'nt around i wanted to make a big fuss over you. Me and your other friends got balloons an wrote " Happy sweet 16 Amy" on them. we took them to our tree - the one where we used to sit and talk for hours - and let them go. I'd hoped you would find one an relise how much we missed you.

It sounds awful but sometimes i'd wish there was bad news, Just so i'd know what happened. I feel like im in limbo. But most of all, i just want you back.

If your reading this Amy, please get in touch. Your not in trouble and shouldn't be scared to come home - every one misses you so much.

I've arrranged a gathering of your friends on the anniversary of the day you went missing, so we can remember how special you are. I'll never forget you, Amy, and i'll make sure no one else does either.

all my love
Ashley xx
