Scots auntie's heartbreaking Christmas appeal for nephew who disappeared 33 years ago

A Scots auntie has issued a heartbreaking Christmas appeal for information on her nephew who vanished 33 years ago.

Moira Brady wants anyone with information about her nephew Alistair Blyth's disappearance to 'speak up'.

Alistair disappeared on December 22 1988.

The ambulance driver had been on a night out in Dunfermline at City Hotel when he vanished.

His shattered family has been desperately looking for answers ever since.

Both his parents died without knowing what happened to their son.

In an appeal on social media yesterday, Moira insisted 'no one disappears without someone knowing something'.

She said: "33yrs ago tomorrow night my nephew Alistair Blyth went to a Christmas night out with fellow Ambulance drivers and just disappeared.

"The night out was in the City Hotel in Dunfermline, I don’t believe people can just disappear without someone knowing something.

"Both his parents have died, never knowing what happened to their son.

"Is there anyone who can speak now who was too frightened to speak up then? Please help!"

One family member, Michelle Corsane, wrote: "Thank you, Aunty Moira, for remembering Alastair and reaching out to find him. Love you."

Louise Downie added: "This has got to be the saddest thing ever. Hope someone comes forward. Sometimes [...] small info can turn [out] to be so significant."

David Munro commented: "Such a traumatic and tragic thing to have happened.

"I'm not sure how a family copes with that and for so long without an answer. I really hope that something comes to light. Someone somewhere must know something. Don't give up."

Pal Avril Halliday said: "Alistair was one of my dearest friends. He was the nicest, kindest most caring person. My parents joked about him being the perfect son-in-law.

"I think about him often and more so at this time of year. I pray someone comes forward with information and you get some closure"
