AENGUS ‘GUSSIE’ SHANAHAN was last seen on 11 February 2000 when he was enjoying a night out with friends.
Today, gardaí are again appealing for help in finding him.
‘Gussie’ is the youngest in a family of four and lived with his parents Bob and Nancy at Ashbrook on the Ennis Road in Limerick.
He had been working in Dell in Castletroy, Limerick.
When he finished work on Friday afternoon 11 February 2000, he went out with friends. When he did not return to work on Monday 14 February, his family reported him as a missing person to An Garda Siochana.
Gussie had gone to Coopers Bar in St Joseph Street with friends on that Friday.
Gussie was captured on CCTV leaving the pub wearing dark blue jeans, a blue top and a red, white and blue Adidas jacket and crossing the road towards his friend’s house.
However, he walked towards a laneway known locally as School Alley Lane.
He was never seen again.
He is described as being 5’10″, of thin build, around ten stone, of pale complexion with short fair hair.
Aengus’s family and gardaí are appealing for anyone who may have seen Gussie or have useful information and who have not been in contact previously, to do so now.
Gardaí are also appealing to anyone who may have seen Gussie on the Friday night or early the following morning to come forward, especially taxi drivers in the Limerick area.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Roxboro Road Garda Station on 061 214340, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.

I hope the Gardai are closer to charging someone. This investigation went very quiet so hopefully that means they’ve pieced the puzzle together and now have the evidence to get justice.
As this is an ongoing investigation I think disabling comments on this article might be best. As great as it is that progress seem to be happening there just might be a chance of a few things being said that hinders this progress. Just a suggestion
Totally agree. Zero consistency with the journals closed comments policy
@Shane Mc Quillan: ya get sick of reading advice about closing the comment section all the time.. If you don’t want to read them, don’t read them!
@steovani: way to miss the point there chief.
So commenting on Paddy Jackson and his move to France isn’t ok – but for a murder case it is?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
@The IMF are here: I presume that is because there is still such venomous comments being written about a person found not guilty. For several weeks after the trial ended the hashtag was still about rape trial
@The IMF are here: will u ever f### off
@The IMF are here: get a life move on
Why, oh why can you not refer to the boy by his first name in this- and other sad tragedies. He is Cameron.
Horrendous crime – hopefully proper justice is served.
Why refer to the victim as a boy or teenager and the person bein questioned a man, when they are both the same age.
@Chris Kirk: The boy murdered was 13. The man who killed him was 18.
@Escay: not he wasn’t. Cameron Reilly was 18 when he was murdered.
