Tony Devine is Still Missing




It has been over 7 weeks since a local man from Ireland disappeared from the streets of New York while enjoying a night out with a friend. And still, no sign of him.

Tony Devine was last seen at two midtown bars on Friday, November 30, 2007.
Since then, nobody has seen or heard from him. His family & friends launched a desperate campaign to find him, covering many neighborhood establishments with fliers.
They are even offering a $50,000 reward.

The latest new report we've seen was from Jan. 14, still with no clues:

If you have any information, please contact Tony's brother; Martin: 914.469.7303
