The search on the Costa del Sol for Irish teenager Amy Fitzpatrick has ended for the day with no relevant findings.
The search was intensified yesterday and continued today as Spanish civil guard officers, firefighters and police searched an 8km area west of where Amy was last seen.
Her father, who flew out from Dublin to help in the search, today renewed his appeal for information on his daughter.
The 15-year-old disappeared failed to return after spending New Year's Eve at a friend's house a short distance from her home in Riviera del Sol in Calahonda, near Mijas, where she was staying with her mother Audrey, brother Dean (17) and stepfather Dave Mahon.
