THE FAMILY OF a man who went missing in Co Monaghan in 2002 are appealing for information about his disappearance.
Michael Anthony Lynch, known as Tony, was last seen walking down Fermanagh Street in Clones at 2pm on Sunday 6 January 2002.
He was working in Cavan at the time and when he failed to turn up for work his family became concerned.
He was reported missing on 9 January 2002.
Lynch was a 54-year-old father of four. He had moved from Magheraveely, Co Fermanagh to a flat in Clones, Co Monaghan two months before he went missing.
Speaking to RTÉ One’s Crimecall, his wife Angela Lynch recalled the day she went to his flat and realised he was missing.
“Every single thing he owned was in that flat. It was like he just went out to the shop and just didn’t come back,” she said.
17 years on, the family are still in the dark about what happened to him. Tonight on Crimecall, the family are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
His daughter Mary said: “Different things go through our head all the time about what could have happened. We just really need some answers.”
Lynch’s son Peter recalled some childhood memories of his father: “During the summertime, he used to take me to work with him. I’d dit up on the back of the digger all day with him.”
Angela Lynch said that her husband is always on their mind and in their hearts.
“I just want to find Tony for my children. This is their daddy, this is the person they loved very much. They will always look for their daddy, just like I want to find my husband, that will never change,” she said.
“All we want is the right to find him and to bring him home, that’s all we want.”
At the time of his disappearance, Lynch was driving a white Mitsubishi Galant with the registration number TIL 4670. The car has never been recovered and gardaí are also appealing for information about the whereabouts of his vehicle.

Keep it up! You’re doing fantastic fair play to you x
Keep up the good work Murph. You are my daughters favourite Operation Transformation leader.
Oh murph…… Can I, eh, have your autograph….. It’s….. Eh….. For my ‘daughter’. Thanks. Oh….. And any chance of a selfie too… Yeah my, eh, ‘daughter’ would love that…. And a hug?
Well done I recently joined slimming world and I’m down 1.7 stone so I know how he feels well done again
Great work, keep it up. Love hearing your story
Seriously.
Who cares?
It’s good to see people sorting themselves out but why do we commend people for eating properly and exercising. Instead we should be harder on those that don’t.
Arseh*le
well said Oran and Uncle.. people dont like to hear the obvious, soon we will hear well done for getting out of bed.. The 6.20am here, and I am having breakfast, then off to gym.. Wheres my gold star??
I care – because (I) I’ve enough empathy to want people (whether I know them or not to be happy) (2) every less obese person is less strain on the health system and (3) it is unusual for someone once they put the weight off to keep it off, so anyone inspiring others to do the same benefits us all.
Fair play murph.
Last year we had gay marriage. This year we have fat people losing weight. I can’t wait for 2017 !
I know what that fella eats for breakfast.
f******* sick of this operation transformation shite……………..its their own fault they end up obese in the first place
Good man keep up the good work
The meals look really tasty actually! I need some variety with my food! I always just end up making a stirfry when I’m trying to eat well which I get bored off and that’s when I end up having a bit of a pig-out! I follow the Bodycoach on Facebook and Instagram and he often posts meal ideas that look quick and tasty .. I have yet to try them out though.
That picture reminds me of the movie stuck on you
have your say
