EXCLUSIVE: Speaking ahead of the 17th anniversary of the disappearance of Amy Fitzpatrick on New Year's Day, Dave Mahon said he and wife Audrey have not given up hope of finding her but don't have the energy or health they once had
The stepfather of missing teen Amy Fitzpatrick has revealed he once asked Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch to help him find her.
Mahon said both Kinahan and Hutch were helpful and made efforts through their contacts to assist in the search for Amy - who had been staying with her friend Ashley Rose and was last seen leaving her pal’s home before she vanished. “They were very good to us and both of them tried to help us,” Mahon said of Kinahan and Hutch. We went to the underworld and we dealt with the very top. What did we know about the underworld? We were just a family getting on with life until this happened to us. But as I’ve often said, when you’re desperate you pray to God and you also pray to the devil.”
Now, as the 17th anniversary of Amy’s disappearance approaches, Mahon says he often tells himself he may never know what truly happened to her. “You do think that pretty much every day - that you're never going to know but you never fully give up hope. You know someday they could knock down a building and Amy could be under it. But I’m hoping more so that some gobsh*te will open his mouth at a party or something.
Mahon says his and Audrey’s health is not what it once was, and he believes the police investigation into Amy’s disappearance has gone cold. “The police in Ireland and Guardia in Spain. It's just a cold case and that’s it. We have a liaison officer here in Ireland. We’re told we have. I’ve no faith in the Irish authorities.
