Liam Hannigan, 34, from Salford, has not been in touch with his friends and family after going missing while on holiday in Tenerife and now his sister has told of a possible sighting
The family of a missing Brit are set to fly out to Tenerife in a bid to help look for him after they revealed a possible sighting.
Liam Hannigan, 34, from Clifton, Salford, has not been in contact with friends or family since February 7. He had been on holiday in the La Asomada area, but had also visited friends in Los Cristianos, one of the island’s most popular tourist hotspots.
His sister, Ellie Hannigan, has now shared an update on her brother’s disappearance today, saying new CCTV footage shows her brother walking alone yesterday. In a public Facebook post, Ellie said: “We wanted to share an update regarding Liam.
“CCTV footage from the morning of February 10, 2025, confirms that Liam was seen walking alone, without any belongings and without the means to pay for food or drinks. While we are relieved to know he is safe, this situation still deeply concerns us as a family.”
Ellie also addressed ‘rumours circulating on social media’, stating that Liam was ‘not out drinking or involved in any illegal activities’, while the family are growing concerned for his welfare.
“As a family, we are doing everything we can to support Liam, and we ask for understanding and compassion,” Ellie added. “My family are on the first flight out this morning to hopefully find Liam and get him the help he needs and eventually get him back home. Thank you to everyone who is sharing the posts and sending us well wishes.”
Liam had been staying on the popular Canary Island with friends he met after flying out for a holiday with his partner on December 29. He is described as being around 6ft 1ins tall, slim and with tanned skin. He has a tattoo on his chest saying ‘Family First’, a small ‘A’ on his wrist and a full beard. Liam may be wearing a black shiny Moncler body warmer with a hood and green Croc shoes.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man in Tenerife.” It is understood the case has also been reported to Greater Manchester Police. Ellie told the Manchester Evening News: “He’s very family orientated. He would never ever stress us out like this, it’s very unusual. My mum and step dad are flying out tomorrow (Tuesday). Even just a sighting or someone who assumes they’ve seen him could help. We just want him home.”
