Audrey Fitzpatrick chose to speak out about her daughter’s disappearance to mark International Missing Children’s Day.
Amy was just 15 years old when she went missing from their home in Spain over seven years ago, and her heartbroken mum revealed that it is her “goal” to launch a fresh reconstruction and search in the near-future.
Delivering an emotional statement, Audrey said of other families going through a similar ordeal: “It’s like a unity, we are all together.”
She added: “It is a bond between all of us that nobody else will understand. One of the mothers said to me, ‘We are all part of a club that nobody else wants to be a member of.’”
Audrey, who recently exchanged vows with her long-term partner, was speaking as Gardaí revealed that last year they investigated over 7,000 missing child cases in Ireland.
