Missing teen Amy Fitzpatrick's aunt Christine has placed a photo of the 17 Year Old at the peak cross mountain in Medjugorje, Herzegovina - as she continues to pray for a miracle return.

More than 21 months after Amy's disappearance in Fuengirola, Spain., Christine climbed the 425 meter peak despite being hampered by her broken leg.
"Medjugorje is a place of miracles," Christine last night told the star and we wanted Amy to be a part of that.

Prayer is something we will always have no matter how long she is gone and it just felt right that we would be able to do this for her"

Christine who broke her leg last month said the chance of someone seeing the picture was slim but added Amy's family are still clinging to the belief that Amy will be found alive.

Christine has said that she believed her niece's case has effectively been shelved by the Guardia Civil

Every time we contact the consulate in Spain they say there is no updates she told the star

If the case was still being pursued, surely they would be able to say people are still being questioned

Amy Originally from Donaghmede in Dublin was just 15 when she vanished without a trace in January 2008.

THE aunt of missing Coolock girl Amy Fitzpatrick has praised the Government’s decision to establish an Amber Alert system for missing people.
The system was given the green light by Minister for Justice, Dermot Ahern, last week in a move welcomed by the family of Amy Fitzpatrick who had campaigned for over a year for its introduction.
Christine Kenny, Amy’s aunt, told Northside People that while the system may be too late for some, it offers hope for the future.
“I am very pleased with the news that this Amber Alert system will be going ahead,” said Ms Kenny.
“I collected over 20,000 signatures for the minister and the European Parliament in an effort to get this scheme introduced.
“I have also been in touch with other campaigners, including Gerry McCann (Madeline McCann’s father) who were keen to see this system brought in.”
Mrs Kenny said the system will allow governments and their departments to work together more efficiently to find missing children.
“We need a common response to emergency situations where children go missing with co-ordination between different governments,” she added.
“It’s a matter that needs to be taken very seriously and there are a lot of recommendations to be put into practice over the coming months.”
Minister Ahern announced the planned Amber Alert system following a report from the Garda Síochána Inspectorate on the handling of missing persons’ cases.
“It is heartbreaking when a person, and particularly a child, goes missing,” he said.
“Families and friends suffer immeasurable distress. We must do all we can to help locate missing loved ones.
“I welcome the Inspectorate’s recommendation to establish an alert system for missing children.
“This will be a challenging task and it will require the support of a whole range of governmental agencies, NGOs and the media, as well as the support of the public.
“I am confident that the Garda Síochána will receive the necessary support from all concerned to put an alert system in place.”
