AUDREY FITZPATRICK RENEWS SEARCH FOR AMY
Renewed search for Amy.
AS Mother’s Day nears, the Costa del Sol has a poignant shadow over one family’s lasting heartache. Amy Fitzpatrick, a spirited Irish teenager, vanished without a trace on New Year’s Day 2008. Her mother Audrey describes her as unforgettable, “No one could ever mistake Amy’s beautiful blue eyes.” Then just 15, Amy and family had been living in Sitio de Calahonda, Mijas when she left a friend’s house in Riviera del Sol around 10pm and never returned home. Eighteen years later, Amy remains missing, her fate a haunting mystery that has gripped the local community and tormented her family.
She would have turned 34 last month, a birthday her sister Kim marks each year with quiet acts of remembrance. Audrey Fitzpatrick, Amy’s devoted mother, refuses to ever surrender. Recently hospitalised and battling illness, she’s now on the mend and reigniting the campaign to find her daughter. “I will never give up,” Audrey vows. She’s again appealing anew to Costa del Sol residents: Has anyone seen Amy? Are whispers of that night still in your memory? Even the smallest detail could bring peace to a mother and family’s shattered heart. In this close-knit expat haven, hope flickers eternal.
Amy, an Irish girl, was 15 at the time, had black hair, blue eyes and was 1.65m tall. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a black
t-shirt with the word ‘Diesel’ on it in different colours. Contact authorities anonymously and help Audrey finally find her girl.
