Family of Allan Bryant who went missing after night out in 2013 say 'every year gets harder'

The family of a man who went missing after a night out in Fife in 2013 have said that “every year gets harder”.

Allan Bryant went missing after a night out in Glenrothes on Sunday, November 3, 2013.

The 23-year-old was last seen on CCTV at Styx nightclub on Caskieberran Road around 2am.

Despite extensive investigations, Allan is still to be found.

In a statement marking the 12th anniversary of his son’s disappearance, Allan Snr said: “Ambiguous Loss is the worst thing any parent can go through, not knowing what happened to our son Allan or where he is.

“Every year gets harder, and I want to ask anyone who knows something to get in touch with the police. We need to know what happened and hope someone can help.”

Police say they believe the answer to Allan’s disappearance lies within the community and have urged anyone who saw or spoke to him on the night he went missing to come forward.

Detective inspector Steven McLean said, “Our aim remains to find answers for Allan’s family, and officers continue to support them and seek to find out where their son went after being seen at Styx.

“We believe the answer lies within the community, and if you have information that could help and have not already spoken to us, then please get in touch.

“In particular, make contact with us if you spoke to Allan that night or saw which direction he took after leaving the nightclub, as even a small piece of information could prove to be vital.

“The anniversary of Allan’s disappearance does not get any easier for his family, so please call 101 or email OperationToner@scotland.police.uk if you can help.”
