Family Renew Appeal To Find Gerard Conway

The family of missing Tyrone man, Gerard Conway, have renewed their appeal for information following his disappearance 10 years ago.

Mr Conway was last seen in the Cookstown area in February 2007.

He suffered from bipolar disorder and was 32-years-old when he went missing.

His family said they have been left "distressed, broken and devastated".

In a statement his family said: "It has been a very long 10 years without Gerard. We miss him dearly and not a day goes by that we do not think about him.

"It is hard to put into words how we have coped over the past 10 years as we fear something untoward may have happened to Gerard.

"We are unable to gain closure as we have no answers and too many questions as to what might have happened to Gerard. Until we find Gerard or recover his remains it is simply impossible for us to properly commence the grieving process.

"Throughout the years we've heard many reports about what happened to Gerard, unfortunately none of these reports have led the police to the whereabouts of Gerard.

"We appreciate it may seem like a long time but if there is anything however apparently insignificant, anything that appeared in any way suspicious, we need to hear from you."
