US mother in fresh appeal for missing son

AN American mother-of-two, who believes her missing son is in Ireland, has issued an appeal to the public to watch out for him this summer as they visit various holiday spots in the country.

Terri Mullaney from Scituate, Massachusetts, recently put up a €63,300 reward through the US Embassy in Dublin for information leading to her son Matt’s safe return.

Mr Mullaney left a pub in Florence, Italy, on February 1, 2003, after a night out with friends and has not been heard from since. The 23-year-old was studying art at the prestigious Angel Academy for a few months before he went missing.
