Dave Mahon would 'do life' if he found those responsible for Amy Fitzpatrick vanishing

In his first interview since his release from prison, Mahon exclusively told the Irish Mirror about the book, which he began writing from behind bars of his pain over the tragic killing of Dean, the disappearance of Amy - and of how he believes the person responsible for her vanishing will likely read his book and “get off” on it Mahon admits he cannot hide his emotions when it comes to what happened to Amy - and when asked what he thought of those responsible for her disappearance he said: “I put it in the book exactly what I want to say. I would do my natural life in prison when I find that fella. Or girl,” he said. “I would do it. With a smile on my face.

“I know I was in prison and I’m not a tough guy or anything like it but if he or she did what we all think happened to Amy, I think about that every day.”

“Oh that bastard. He or she will probably read this book. And they’ll probably get off on it. There’s some bad people out there and I met a few of them in my day,” he said.

Tragic Amy was just 15 when she disappeared - and according to Audrey and Dave left her phone in her apartment the day before. Mahon says he believes the person responsible is most likely to have known her personally - and that she is sadly, probably dead.

“I reckon she met somebody that she knew. I’m 99.9 percent sure that she’s not with us anymore. “I’m not 100 percent and I won’t be until I see a body and that’s why I keep fighting in the only way I can fight now.

“Amy was quite shy unless you got to know her. So yeah I believe it was someone she knew.” Mahon also addressed the assertion that he or Audrey had anything to do with Amy’s disappearance - citing it as “nonsense.”

“That’s nonsense. I’ve heard every story, even inside I’ve heard every story and it’s nonsense,” he said. "There’s absolutely no truth to it."

“We were very involved in the early days. Audrey was never a suspect, Dean was never suspect and I most certainly wasn’t a suspect. The easy thing would have been to point the finger.”

But ultimately he says this is about telling his story - which he says he felt he needed to do. “I felt I was forced into writing it. Mahon says his number one goal now is to find Amy - and when asked if he’d like to see the perpetrators behind bars, he said: “Number one, find Amy. Then we worry about what happens after that. Murder is the worst crime,” he said.
