Latest McCann hunt inspires missing Amy video campaign

- BY JOHN KIERANS

THE heartbroken family of missing Irish teen Amy Fitzpatrick have launched a new online campaign demanding a review of her case.

The emotional video features various pictures of the youngster growing up and wants her disappearance to be upgraded to a murder investigation.

Amy, 15, vanished as she walked home from her friend Ashley Rose's house on the Costa del Sol on the night of New Year's Day 2008.

She is listed by the Spanish police as a missing person but no serious effort to try and find her has been made since the first week after she disappeared.

Since then the family have received various new leads and information in relation to the case but it has not been acted upon by the Spanish authorities.

They have watched silently as every effort was made by police forces across Europe to try and find missing Madeleine McCann and yet nothing has been done to find Amy.
