An update on the Help Find Liam Colgan Facebook page said: “On Thursday last week our hope for a positive outcome was renewed due to two credible sightings being reported in Altona and at the Reeperbahn.

“On the strength of these sightings Liam’s brother Eamonn and his partner Susan will return to Hamburg this week to give fresh impetus to the search.

“One of the sightings provided us with a photograph which, whilst not conclusive, was the decisive factor for Liam’s family to make this trip.”
