Pubs’ fundraiser for missing man

Pubs are staging a weekendlong event to raise funds for the search of missing Liam Colgan.

The 29-year-old, from Inverness, was on his brother Eamonn’s stag weekend in the German city when he vanished in the early hours of Saturday 10 February.

Almost a month after his dis- appearance, pubs around the city have joined the One For Liam fundraiser between Friday and Sunday to help volunteers in Germany looking for him.

Tommy O’connor, who set up the event, said: “Liam and his band played in the pub here, Encore, every Saturday night. Since his disappearance we’ve been thinking of ways to support the search campaign and we came up with the idea of One For Liam. When a customer comes into the bar they can say ‘one for Liam’ as well and that will go to help the search.”

Friends and relatives last saw him in the Veermaster Bar and he has been identified on CCTV footage from the Baumwell area after leaving the bar. A confirmed sighting by his family was announced by The Lucie Blackman Trust last month.
