Dad of man missing for 10 years says 'woman's screams' could hold more answers
The father of a man who was missing for a decade has spoken of how reports of a 'woman's screams' might hold the answer to his son's death.
Allan Bryant, 23, disappeared with no trace after leaving Styx nightclub closeby to his home in Glenrothes at 2am on November 3, 2013. However, despite searching extensively, he has not been spotted since, reports The Daily Record.
His family worked with police this year and on November 3 they put out a poignant plea for information, as part of a press conference, held on the tenth anniversary of his disappearance. And following the appeal, information has been unearthed which shines a light on new claims that a woman was heard screaming hysterically between 3am and 8am on the night of Allan's disappearance.

Speaking to The Daily Record, the 57-year-old said: "Someone came forward after the recent police appeal and told us about a woman screaming in the early hours between 3am to 8am."
Now Allan Snr is pleading for anyone else who might have heard the screams, which were said to have taken place nearby Barton Place, Muirfield Drive, Forres Drive and Elgin Drive in town, to speak up. He added: "I believe my son was killed in that area that morning. We hope someone will come forward with information to identify who the woman was and to help us find Allan.

Detective Inspector Scott Roxburgh said: "Information received from the public has covered a wide range of scenarios, including that Allan has been harmed in some way. All information has been investigated thoroughly, recorded, assessed and actioned accordingly. Allan’s disappearance remains a missing person enquiry.
