Suitcase body found in Spain 'isn't our Amy'
Monday November 17 2008
A BODY found in the south of Spain is not that of missing Irish teenager Amy Fitzpatrick, (right) it was confirmed last night.
Spanish police found the body, which was in a suitcase, in La Cala, close to where she was last seen in January this year.
Her father Christopher Fitzpatrick and aunt Christine Kenny contacted the Spanish police and the Department of Foreign Affairs, fearing that it may have been Amy.
"The body was sent to Malaga for forensic tests to determine its exact age and sex and according to the Spanish news the bones are of a large framed adult," said Mr Fitzpatrick.
"It has been confirmed it is not Amy. We are hoping the find of the body will bring on a fresh search for Amy," he added.
"Please God something will come up before Christmas so we can get on with our lives with Amy here with us," said Ms Kenny, adding "We would say to people who are going over to Spain for Christmas and New Year's to remember Amy."
