Mother Appeals For News Of Missing Tyrone Man

After 12 harrowing months, the mother of a missing Tyrone man has reiterated her offer of a £100,000 reward to anyone who helps find him - or his dead body.

Gerard Conway, 32, was last seen in Cookstown in February 2007.

Despite a number of searches and reported sightings in the Republic, Mr Conway, who has bi-polar disorder, has not been found.

His mother, Mary, has again appealed to anyone with information to contact either police or the family.

"I am just begging them, they don't have to go to the police. They can come to me or go to a clergyman," she said.

"I feel Gerard is dead and I just want to bury him, to put him to rest."

Anyone with information on Mr Conway's whereabouts after being missing for a year is urged to contact the police in Cookstown.
