Sky today announces Don’t Forget Me: The Disappearance of Amy Fitzpatrick, a new three-part true crime series investigating the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl living in Spain’s Costa del Sol, and the family divisions and unanswered questions that have surrounded her case ever since. The series will air on Sky Documentaries and NOW from 29 November.

On New Year’s Day 2008, 15-year-old Amy Fitzpatrick vanished from Spain’s Costa del Sol. Five years later, her brother Dean died from a stab wound on a Dublin street. Almost two decades on, her family are still searching for answers. With the case facing the prospect of being closed for good, those closest to Amy are making a renewed appeal for information, as this series takes a definitive look at the events surrounding her disappearance and the conflicting accounts that have left her family fractured.

In the years following Amy’s disappearance, her mum Audrey and stepdad Dave Mahon led a high-profile campaign to find her. But as time passed, questions and suspicions have divided the family, with Amy’s biological father Chris and aunt Christine increasingly at odds with Audrey and Dave.

In 2013, the family suffered further tragedy when Amy’s brother Dean died from a stab wound. Dave Mahon was subsequently found guilty of manslaughter, bringing renewed scrutiny to the family and the circumstances of Amy’s disappearance.

Produced by The Slate Works (9/11: Inside the President’s War Room), Don’t Forget Me: The Disappearance of Amy Fitzpatrick brings together rare access to both sides of Amy’s family, her closest friends, the last people to see her alive, journalists who continue to investigate the case and An Garda Síochána, the Irish police. Through their accounts, alongside new testimony never before made public, the series explores the conflicting versions of events that have surrounded Amy’s disappearance. 

 Hayley Reynolds, Head of Documentary Commissioning at Sky, said: “With remarkable access to both sides of Amy’s family and those closest to her, this series brings new perspectives to a case that has remained unresolved for so long, while always keeping Amy at its heart. We’re proud to be working with The Slate Works to bring Amy’s case to a wider audience, in the hope that it might help bring renewed attention and fresh impetus to the search for answers.”
