Every day we are doing everything we can to get Finn home. He's always in our thoughts, always in our consciousness and we are doing everything to get him home and I just want to take the opportunity to say thank you so much to everyone that has helped us with the search, shared posts, told your friends even donated to the fundraiser.
"It has really helped. The kind words as well have really, really helped us because it is very difficult, you know. Yes, we are being as positive as possible but of course it is difficult too because we just want to find out what has happened to Finn and like I have said so many times we will do everything we can to get Finn home and to find out what has happened.
"But again, keep sharing, keep doing what you are doing, keep telling people and if you have any information at all – even if you think it's small or anything like that it could be a game-changer for us so please if you have that information or you have a sighting please either contact us on Search for Finn Creaney or you can contact Police Scotland on 101 incident number 0912 March 28, 2022.
