The Civil Guard have released the registration of the vehicle they believe Amy Fitzpatrick may have taken that night. It is a British-registered Ford Fiesta, with the number plate C955 SLK. Anyone who may see the vehicle is asked not to touch it to avoid destroying evidence, and to contact 062 urgently.
The car belongs to an Irish friend of Amy’s family, 34 year old R.B.O., who used the vehicle on his trips to Spain, and told detectives when he was called in for questioning during the investigation that he had not seen it for some days. EFE reports that Amy knew the car had no key and knew how to start it.

Hilario López Luna, the government delegate for Málaga province, said earlier this week that, while all hypotheses remain open, one ‘very important line of investigation’ is that the teenager left voluntarily.
