Missing on New Year’s Night: The Unsolved Disappearance of Amy Fitzpatrick

About this episode

On New Year’s Night, 2008, fifteen-year-old Amy Fitzpatrick left her best friend’s home in Calahonda, Spain, for what should have been a short walk back to her house. She never arrived. No CCTV, no belongings left behind, no confirmed sightings. Just a child who stepped into the dark and vanished. This episode dives deep into the chaotic months leading up to Amy’s disappearance, the instability at home, and the fractured relationships that made her so vulnerable. We examine the major theories, from the runaway assumption to the possibility of a stranger abduction, to darker suspicions involving gangland figures, and the complicated family dynamics that continue to shadow the case nearly two decades later. Seventeen years on, Amy’s father continues to beg for answers. Her friends still hold suspicions they’re afraid to say out loud. And Spanish police still classify her disappearance as a “missing persons” case—despite everything. Someone knows what happened to Amy Fitzpatrick. And it’s long past time they speak.
