Police ScotlandThe sister of man who went missing on a night out in Fife 13 years ago has said life remains “on hold” for his family.
Allan Bryant was last seen at Styx nightclub on Caskieberran Road in Glenrothes on Sunday, November 3, 2013.
The 23-year-old was captured on CCTV at the nightclub at around 2am, but never returned home.
Speaking on STV’s This Morning on Thursday, Allan’s mum Marie and sister Amy described him as a “wonderful” son and “protective” brother.
This MorningThe family believe friends of Allan and people living locally may have information that could assist police.
Marie said: “I know he’s come to harm that night and it’s probably been not long after the CCTV at 2.02am.”
She added: “Every theory you hear, you envision it in your head.
“We get contacted a lot saying this has happened, that’s happened.
“You’re running through it all in your head and sometimes trying to sleep at night is unbearable.
“It’s so hard to just move on with your life. We need answers, we need closure.”
Amy also encouraged anyone with information to come forward and pass it on to police.
This MorningShe said: “I feel like life will always be on hold until we can properly try and move on.
“You’re stuck in the past at the moment. Obviously, you try to live, but it’s difficult.”
Crime expert David Wilson, who joined Marie and Amy on This Morning, said he believes the case is “incredibly solvable”.
He added: “Cold cases become hot again in one of two ways. They become hot again when a body is found and a deposition site is therefore revealed, because that implies who might have been engaged in this.
“The way this case will become hot again is that alliances change.
“Groups of people who are friendly in 2013 grow up, they have children of their own.
“They put themselves in the shoes of Marie, and Allan Snr, and Amy and her sister, and now a grandson as well.
Police Scotland“They put themselves in those shoes, and they think, ‘hang on a minute, why can’t I come forward and give this information,’ – and that’s what I think will unlock this case.”
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Allan Bryant remains a missing person.
“He was last seen at Styx nightclub on Caskieberran Road in Glenrothes around 2am on Sunday, November 3, 2013.
“Anyone who has not spoken to officers and who believes they have new information that could help with our enquiries to trace Allan should call us on 101, quoting incident number PS-20250429-1682 or email OperationToner@scotland.police.uk.”
