Audrey Fitzpatrick, mother of missing 15 year old Amy, travels to the Canary Islands to join forces with the mothers of two other missing children.

Three of the mothers whose children have disappeared came together at Vecindario on Gran Canaria yesterday to hand out some 4,000 posters of their missing loved ones.

The mothers of Sara Morales and Yeremi Vargas, who both disappeared from Gran Canaria in 2006 and 2007, were joined by the mother of Amy Fitzpatrick, the Irish 15 year old who vanished from Mijas in Málaga on New Year’s Day last year.

Nieves Hernández, Ithaisa Suárez and Audrey Fitzpatrick say they want to create a new platform so that their children are not forgotten. The mother of Sara admitted that Christmas had been a difficult time for her, and she had been depressed of late, but that joining with the other mothers was a source of strength for her. All three women are convinced their children are still alive.

Meanwhile there is still no news about Marta del Castillo who vanished from Sevilla on Saturday night. One of her friends is coordinating the search on internet social network sites, such as Tuenti. Using the net news of her disappearance will reach thousands of other youngsters across the country.

The only clue in the disappearance of the 17 year old comes from a neighbour who says he heard a shout at the time that Marta is thought to have disappeared.
