The father of missing Allan Bryant Jr has called on Scotland’s Justice Secretary to intervene in the investigation into his son’s disappearance.
Allan Bryant has launched a petition calling on Michael Matheson to elect a new division within Police Scotland to take over the enquiry, claiming that detectives in Fife have failed his son and his family.
“We want a new force to take over Allan Jr’s case,” Mr Bryant told The Courier.
“We’ve been trying to get anywhere with the Major Investigation Team in Fife for the past four years and I just feel that they have failed Allan and my family miserably”
Allan Jr was 23 when he disappeared after a night out with friends on November 3 2013.
High-profile appeals have been made by both his family and the police, while searches have been conducted throughout the town and across Fife.
However, there remains no trace of Allan Jr, who would now be 27, with his father having stated on several occasions his belief that his son is dead.
Police Scotland has been approached for comment in response to Mr Bryant’s petition.
