Email received by EWN Editorial Manager Jenni Leighfield

Hi, i just read your article about the 3 murdered girls from Valencia (click here for the story) . It has me in tears as i sit in our office. I talk frequently with your other journalist, Alfredo Bloy, who has been very good to us. Amy Fitzpatrick, my daughter, went missing 18 mths ago yesterday and the thought of what happened to those poor girls maybe happening to her, makes me actually physically sick. We still hope and pray that she ran away but every day that hope is fading.

If you have a contact number or email forFernando Garcia would you tell him the girls will be included in my prayers that i say every night for Amy.

God bless,

Audrey Fitzpatrick, Amy's mam x

The disappearance of Amy Fitzpatrick

ON NEW YEAR’S DAY 2008, at 10pm, Amy Fitzpatrick said goodbye to her close friend Ashley Rose, with whom she had been babysitting Ashley’s brother at her friend’s house in Mijas Costa. Amy should have arrived at her home on the urbanisation Riviera del Sol in Mijas Costa, near Fuengirola, at about 10:10pm, as it was only a short walk away. But, she never arrived home and has not been heard from or seen since that night.
Amy, an Irish girl, was 15 at the time; she has black hair, blue eyes and a pale complexion. She is 1.65m tall.
At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing dark-coloured crushed velvet tracksuit bottoms and a black T-shirt with the word ‘Diesel’ on it in various different colours. She had no money, phone or passport (as she was still on her mother’s).
She turned 16 on February 7, 2008.
Following her disappearance, a massive search involving hundreds of people from many different departments was launched amidst a sea of speculation; that she may have left voluntarily, that she may have been abducted, that a white van might have been involved, that she may have sent an email to make contact, that she may have eloped with a man. All proved to be dead ends.
Now, 18 months after her disappearance, Amy’s case seems to have lost momentum, but not because of lack of trying on her family’s part.

Although the probability that she may have left voluntarily fades with each passing month, lack of any useful evidence keeps it a possibility, none the less. It may be the case that due to the amount of publicity involved, she is afraid to make contact.
When Audrey Fitzpatrick spoke to EWN in October last year she stressed every option is worth exploring, and through Euro Weekly News pleaded: “Amy if you are reading this, please get in touch with us or anyone else to let us know you are ok.” Audrey has not given up hope that new information will come to light, despite the time elapsed.

She calls on the public to provide information: “It could be residents in the area, it could be anyone who was on holiday there at the time, it could be anyone at all,” she said. “Please keep your ears and eyes open. Please send us any information you have no matter how insignificant it may seem,” she added. “There has to be one person somewhere who knows something” she insisted.
Ms Fitzpatrick finished the conversation with a disquieting thought: “No-one has been caught, which means they are still out there. If it happened once it can happen again,” she warned.
