Missing Gary's family hit out at cruel comments posted online

The family of Gary Shearer have slammed cruel trolls telling them "he's dead" as the Renfrew man remains missing in Lanzarote for over two years.

The avid Celtic supporter vanished on the Canary isle after arriving to celebrate St Patrick's Day in 2023.

The then 53-year-old had been drinking at Bar 67 on the night of his disappearance, where he was highly intoxicated.

He was seen on CCTV asking an unknown man for directions.

Gary has not been seen or heard from since.

His family have visited Lanzarote on multiple occasions to conduct their own searches for Gary.

And in March, after their most recent visit to the island, Spanish police confirmed they were reopening their inquiry into his disappearance.

Despite the development, cruel trolls have been targeting Gary's family online, telling them: “He's dead, why bother.”
