He was last seen getting on a bus headed for Galway

The mother of a missing young man who may have travelled to Galway six years ago before his disappearance has posted a heartbreaking reminder on the anniversary.

Cian Langelaan, originally from Donegal, has been missing since 2020 and was last seen getting a bus from Sligo to Galway.

His mother Anthea set up a Facebook group ‘Find Cian’ to help share any information regarding her son’s disappearance.

Anthea posted a picture of herself and Cian this week with the caption “trying to remember the happy times on the 6th anniversary of Cian’s disappearance”.

Information from 2023 suggests that the 27-year-old may have boarded a bus in Dunfanaghy on September 29 2020 which was heading to Sligo and then onto Galway.

Last year one person claimed to have seen a man on the RTE television show ‘Build Your Own Home’ who looked like and fitted Cian’s description.

The man in the programme was also called Cian and had been homeless for some time but this lead was looked into and confirmed as not Cian Langelaan.

The people of Galway are once again being asked to remember back to 2020 with his mother appealing to anybody who may have been on the bus that day to come forward.

On the day of his disappearance from his Donegal home, a taxi driver dropped Cian off at Horn Head in Dunfanaghy at 10:30pm

Anyone with any information is asked to get in touch with the Gardai in Milford.

Anthea previously posted: "To anyone with a possible sighting of Cian, please contact Milford Garda Station on (074) 91 53060 or the National Missing Persons Helpline 1800 442 552.

"They need to get the information directly from the person reporting the sighting. I am grateful to know that people are still keeping an eye out for my son – it helps keep the hope alive."
