Pals’ fresh hope over lost Liam
Reports of ‘confused’ Scot
FRIENDS of a man who went missing on his brother’s stag weekend in Hamburg say there have been new sightings of a “confused” Scot.
Liam Colgan, 29, from Inverness, vanished in the early hours of Saturday.
He had organised the trip to the German city with his brother Eamonn, 33, a policeman, who was supposed to be getting married in two weeks’ time.
They arrived in the city on February 9 and visited a few bars, including the Hamborger Viermaster, the last place where Liam’s friends saw him.
Police in Hamburg have launched a search for Liam while his friends have set up a Facebook page.
In a post yesterday, they said there have been fresh sightings of a Scottish man.
The post said: “There have been further sightings of a confused man saying he is from Scotland. We really need your help now to try to narrow the search. If you see him, please assist him and contact Hamburg police on 040 4286 56789 or 110.”
The friends are urging people to put up posters of Liam in Buxtehude, Hamburg and all the surrounding areas.
Dundee United captain Willo Flood has also made a video appeal.
Eamonn, 33, raised the alarm on Saturday when he woke up and discovered his brother was not in the room they were sharing.
He called police in Hamburg, who have been in contact with hospitals and taxi companies and have interviewed witnesses.
Search dogs have also been used and Liam’s picture circulated online and to media outlets.
Eamonn has said the wedding will not go ahead without his brother.
