Joe Maughan is not giving up hope that the bodies of his son, Willie Maughan, and Ana Varslavane, Willie's girlfriend, will be found
The distraught dad of missing Willie Maughan has revealed his heartache that a Garda dig to find him and his girlfriend Ana has been stood down.
Authorities launched the massive search for William Maughan and Anastasija Varslavaneon last Friday, November 15, with members of the force searching an area adjacent to land once owned by dead mobster Cornelius Price. The couple are believed to have been brutally murdered by him in April 2015. Mr Maughan said that Willie's mother, Helen, is very upset at the latest development. He added: "I am strong but Helen is like any woman, is looking for her child. In fairness to the Gardaí they came up to the house and said there is no giving up, but just not our day. The dig finished up with no result but tomorrow could be a better day somewhere else. God is good and I hold my faith very strong and that will get us through.
