But now the Carrick-on-Shannon resident, whose 15-year-old daughter vanished from the Mijas Costa area of Spain on New Year's Day 2008, is recovering at home but remains determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.

Doctors told Audrey's husband Dave that she may not make it - and while she spent much of her time unaware of what was going on, he and her family were preparing for the worst.

She added: "For everyone else, for my friends and family and Dave of course was on tenterhooks.

She added: "I honestly believe I would have got more done if I was still there.

"I am like a dog with a bone and if I was over there, I would still be getting it onto the radio stations, the TV, the newspapers like it was done before.

"But right now I can't even walk 10 minutes down the road."
