Stepfather of missing teen Amy Fitzpatrick sought help from crime figure in search efforts

Dave Mahon, the stepfather of missing teen Amy Fitzpatrick, revealed he sought help from crime figure Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch in the early days of her disappearance. Amy vanished in Spain on New Year's Day 2008, and Mahon expressed ongoing hope for her discovery. Mahon, who has faced personal struggles, including health issues and the loss of his stepdaughter, stated that both Hutch and another crime figure, Daniel Kinahan, attempted to assist in the search. He noted that their efforts were made during a time of frustration with police investigations. As the 17th anniversary of Amy's disappearance approaches, Mahon feels the investigation has gone cold. He has identified four suspects in his book and hopes for renewed interest in the case. Mahon and his wife no longer celebrate holidays, marking the ongoing impact of their loss.
