Overview
- Joseph Connelly, a 50-year-old printer from Govanhill, has been missing since April 2002 after returning to Glasgow from a family wedding in Letterkenny.
- His sister, Caroline Armour, says the family believes he was killed over unpaid debts linked to a publishing venture he pursued through a company called Bandwagon in Tenerife.
- Police Scotland recently compared a family DNA sample with unidentified remains found in Gallowgate but found no match and placed the profile on Interpol’s database for wider cross-checking.
- A Police Scotland spokesperson said the force treats all missing-person cases with utmost seriousness and will pursue any new information or lines of enquiry.
- The family has revived public appeals through a podcast interview, noting Connelly’s unusual behavior before he vanished, the delayed missing report due to his frequent travel, and items left in his flat when police first entered.
