Hmmm, my soon-to-be son-in-law is a University of Lincoln grad and the same age as Amy. I wonder if they know each other?

Cleethorpes is very close to where I live, as is Lincoln. A lot of my friends went to Lincoln uni. I hope she's okay.

Ms Gerard, who works as a trainer of killer whales at Tenerife’s Loro Parque theme park, had been on a night out with work friends for a birthday.

She left Irish Molly Malone pub in Puerto de la Cruz with her boyfriend but they became separated.

Ms Gerard, who studied animal behaviour science at the University of Lincoln, is believed to still be married to Ryan Docherty, her estranged husband, who still lives in the UK.

I wonder how she and her boyfriend became separated after leaving the club. Was there a huge crowd?

Doubtful on a Thursday night in November. It’s not high tourist season right now and Puerto de la Cruz is not a place many tourists stay to begin with. I wonder who her boyfriend is and how long they’ve been dating. Is he also a foreigner or is he a local?

From her FB it looks like she was still with her ex (Ryan, with whom she remains friends) earlier this year. He seems to have come back to the UK and she's stayed in Tenerife and is a killer whale trainer - cool!

Good to hear the Lucie Blackman Trust is still going and is helping Amy's family.

Missing Amy Gerard seen singing and dancing in Irish pub with German boyfriend minutes before she vanished

The video was shot at Molly Malone Irish pub in Puerto de la Cruz, on the Spanish island of Tenerife where she lives and works, just past midnight on Friday morning.

Amy, 28, joins other drinkers dancing in a circle to the Pogues song Fairytale Of New York.

Standing next to fellow marine wildlife trainer and boyfriend Dennis Kissling, Amy at one point even turns and blows a kiss to the camera as she enjoys a night out with colleagues.

Witnesses said as the pair later walked out of the bar, Amy turned left and Dennis turned right, going their separate ways. Amy has not been seen since.

I googled the address of the pub and looked at a map. It is located in a narrow side road very close to the ocean, could she have gone for a walk? Maybe she fell in. I know that Gran Canaria has spots with steep cliffs down to the ocean, maybe it's similar in Tenerife. Maybe someone with local knowledge can find that out. I don't see a streetview option on the map.

There is also the Plaza de Europa and a fast food restaurant "Salina Express" in the direction she reportedly left. Could she have gone to grab a bite? Not sure how long they're open though.

Sorry I don't know how to link to the map from my phone. This the address:
Molly Malone Calle Las Lonjas, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife.

Certainly doesn't look like there's any tension on that video, they're having a great night!

Same article also says Amy turned right and Dennis went left so who knows. Anyone know where she lived?

Police searching for missing British animal trainer in Tenerife find a body in the sea | Daily Mail Online

Police searching for a British animal trainer who is missing in Tenerife have found a woman's body near the spot where she disappeared.

The remains were discovered in the sea opposite the lighthouse in the city of Puerto de la Cruz where 28-year-old Amy Gerard, who was originally from Grimsby, lived.
This isn't good.

It's about 7 mins walk from Molly Malone's to the lighthouse acc. google maps. It doesn't really look like somewhere you'd go swimming.

Not very cool.
