CLOTHING THOUGHT to belong to missing Co Donegal man David Colhoun has been found on a riverbank.
Mr Colhoun (21) went missing on May 22nd last after escaping from police custody in Co Tyrone and trying to swim across the river Foyle to his home in Lifford.
Despite a massive search involving the Garda, PSNI and search- and-rescue-teams, there has been no sign of him.
His family always believed he drowned while trying to cross the river. However, they now believe clothing found close to Lifford Bridge belongs to the missing man.
The clothing was found by his brother Mark during a search of the banks of the river Foyle.
David’s father Joseph said a tracksuit bottom and boxer shorts were unquestionably his son’s clothing. “I have no doubt about it. We went back to David’s room and the tracksuit is missing.
“Now that we have the clothing then we can concentrate on a very specific area and hopefully find him,” he said.
