The campaign to find a missing Glenrothes man is set to go nationwide next week.
The family of Allan Bryant Jnr expect to appear on ITV’s This Morning to publicise their efforts to trace the missing 24-year-old.
Despite the largest missing person search ever conducted in Fife and a proactive online campaign, there has been no trace of Allan Jnr since he left Styx nightclub in the town on November 3 last year.
However, his father, Allan Snr, has told The Courier that he hopes that national exposure will help to re-energise the campaign to find his son.
“We’re hoping that we will appear towards the end of next week,” he said. “It’s still to be decided whether or not it will be done at our house or down in London.”
Television executives are thought to have taken an interest in the Bryant family’s plight after a recent court case that saw a Facebook “troll” admit to sending messages where he claimed to have murdered Allan Jnr.
Stewart McInroy, 23, sent a series of graphic messages, including one where he declared “I am the killer of Allan Bryant.”
McInroy is set to be sentenced at Dunfermline Sheriff Court next week and it is thought any interview is likely to be broadcast after this has happened.
Mr Bryant added: “It is going to be hell for me but I need to do it.”
