THE family of missing Esra Uyrun say their lives have been "trapped in a nightmare" since she vanished nearly 15 years ago.

And they are pleading once again for anyone with information on her to finally come forward and end their torment of more than a decade without answers.

Esra was a 38-year-old mother-of-one when she vanished from her home in Collinstown Grove, Clondalkin, west Dublin, in the early hours of February 23, 2011.

She told her husband Ozgur she was just popping out, got into the family's grey Renault Twingo with registration number 08-D-23067 but never returned.

Now, speaking to this paper as the family face another painful anniversary, her sister Berna said the family's lives have been on hold ever since the day she vanished. Having made her annual trip from London to Dublin to mark the anniversary of her sister's disappearance and appeal for information, she said she met with investigators yesterday and now hopes a fresh team might bring new momentum to the mystery.

Berna said: "We are living a nightmare with no answers.
