Patrick McNeill disappeared in New York City in 1997.

When retired police detective Kevin Gannon investigated it, he said he was stalked, abducted,

held for an extended period of time, murdered and disposed of. They're psychopaths. They have no remorse.

Ganon's team of investigators believed that the black decomposition noted in the city examiner's report was in

actuality charing. Gannon believed McNeil had been burnt from the head down to mid-torso,

with something like a blowtorch. However, another federal agent who's retired that I liaise

with believes that this could actually be

the result of his body being placed in a freezer as opposed to torture by blowtorch.

But either way, it's highly disturbing.

From the possible ligature mark found, Gannon's team suggested Neil could have been bound

in a chair, tied by the neck, restrained and tortured.

As his back appeared to have no charring to it, only his front.

His face was the most burnt part of his body.

Clearly, whatever happened to him, his torment and suffering before being found in the river,

was absolutely horrific.

When I spoke to Kevin Gannon a few years ago, former supervisor at the NYPD, he suggested I look

into the disappearance of a boy called Larry Andrews, because a few months before Patrick

McNeil's disappearance, Larry Andrews had come into New York City by train, with a large

group of friends from their hometown in West Chester County.

It was New Year's Eve, and they were excited to be joining the celebrations in the big city.

However, Lurie never made it to Times Square.

The group arrived at Grand Central Station and went to a bar called Hula Hans close by.
