My brother disappeared without a trace when I was 9… cruel schoolkids joked about finding body & I'm racked with guilt
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SOPHIE Bryant has grown up with the tragedy of her missing brother hanging over her. She was just nine when Allan jr, 23, disappeared without a trace on a night out in 2013 - but she didn't quite understand then what was going on. 14 Sophie Bryant's older brother disappeared when she was nine Credit: Sophie Bryant 14 Allan Bryant jr disappeared in November 2013 aged 23 Credit: Andrew Barr 14 Sophie, now 20, says the family just wants closure Credit: Sophie Bryant 14 The now 20-year-old recalls her mum and dad, Marie and Allan sr, regularly speaking to the police and press, and growing more frantic for answers that have never come. Sophie, from Glenrothes, Fife, said a couple of years ago human remains were found and the family gloomily hoped they belonged to Allan jr. 'It feels bad saying we wish it was him, but if it was him maybe we'd have got a bit of closure,' she told The Sun. 'We think he's definitely… not alive,' she explained with a pause when asked if she still holds out hope. 'It's a good thought to think - that he's alive somewhere - but we know something bad has happened, or he would have been home by now.' Allan jr was picked up on CCTV leaving the town's Styx nightclub at around 2am on November 3 2013. The family has passed thousands of tip-offs over the years to Police Scotland, but ultimately without any luck. There is no video evidence yet released to indicate where exactly the young man went or what became of him. For Sophie, the night Allan jr disappeared started like any other Saturday booze-up for her brother. Him and his pals were pre-drinking at the Bryant home and then headed out for what was the Halloween weekend. I know who 'murdered' my son, 23, on night out a decade ago... cops say he's missing but they need to probe vital clue They first went to an engagement party at Leslie Golf Club on the outskirts of town, and then to the nightclub. 'I can remember the weekend he didn't come back home,' said Sophie. 'I was just wondering where he went. I can't remember what the last thing was that I said to him. 'You never expect something like that to happen, so you don't necessarily recall that stuff. 'I just always think about what happened.' She went on to say: 'My parents did shield me from it a bit, they kept me out of the public eye when they were originally appealing for information.' Sophie can remember her mum and dad 'always' being on the phone to the police and would sometimes join them on searches as a child. Getting closer to finding out what happened to Allan jr often dominates home life. 14 Sophie cherishes this photo of her with brother Allan Credit: Sophie Bryant 14 She has described the difficulty of growing up while the search for answers continues Credit: Sophie Bryant 14 Sophie, aged nine, holding up a missing person poster after Allan first vanished Credit: Sophie Bryant 'It's pretty much day to day, they're always talking about what they should do to keep him in the public eye,' Sophie said. 'They (her parents) try to live their lives as well, but I think sometimes we feel guilty about doing that.' She said such a feeling is contradictory because of how happy-go-lucky her brother was. 'He wouldn't want us not to be happy,' she admitted. A photo of Sophie aged just nine shows her holding up a missing person poster brandishing her brother's face. To her, Allan jr was her older sibling who teased her and who she play fought with her, but who always looked out for her. 'My memories of him are just really when we were playfighting and carrying on,' she said. 'He was my brother.' Family members have also told her that she shares mannerisms with Allan jr that no-one else does. 'I like that,' she said. A photo taken of the pair of them together on the family's porch is also something Sophie cherishes, but it's bittersweet. 'There's one that I quite like,' she said when asked if she had any photos of her and Alan jr. 'I was really quite young, so I don't remember it being taken, but it's a nice one. I know who 'murdered' my son, 23, on night out a decade ago... cops say he's missing but they need to probe vital clue By Ryan Merrifield A DESPERATE dad says he knows who 'murdered' his son, after he went missing over 12 years ago. Allan Bryant Jr disappeared while on a night out on November 3 2013, but he's never been found and no one ever brought to justice. The then-23-year-old was spotted on CCTV leaving Styx nightclub in Glenrothes, Fife, in Scotland, around 2am - but what happened next remains a mystery. Mr Bryant said he and his family have accepted his son is dead but he, Allan's mum Marie and sisters Amy and Sophie want closure. He told The Sun he's passed thousands of tip-offs over the years to Police Scotland, but ultimately without any luck. Mr Bryant said he 'begged' the force to release a clip of the CCTV video footage, which they finally did months after the disappearance. The determined dad is adamant he knows who killed his boy and hopes it is just a matter of time before someone comes forward with information that could lead to a conviction. He said: 'A lot of people have come forward and it all points in the same direction about what happened to Allan.' In 2015, the family was passed information to police which suggested Allan had gone to a house party after leaving the club. Two years later, cops searched a house in Glenrothes for 33 days as part of the investigation but nothing came of it. Mr Bryant later voiced fears that his son had been in contact with a crime gang weeks before he vanished. He told The Sun this week: 'We believe he went to a houseparty, something happened at a houseparty.' He said on studying the CCTV from the nightclub, it's clear Allan heads in a different direction than if he were going home. Mr Bryant believes those who may have witnessed what happened to his son remain too scared to speak to detectives. 'I believe that without a doubt. We just need that one bit of the jigsaw… everything stems from there,' he said. Mr Bryant and his family moved out of the home they'd lived in with Allan in 2018, but still regularly use the same local shops and haunts. He feels the mystery over his son's death has created a dark cloud over the town, with people avoiding him and even 'stare at Allan's mum' without speaking. The dad claims one person - who he believes witnessed his son's death - has told people while drunk: 'I know what happened to Allan.' Mr Bryant - who has been supported by charity Missing People - said he's met other families in the same position as him, admitting 'it takes its toll'. 'Some families just can't do it,' he continued. 'You're tired and you have bad nightmares. It's like you're digging up skeletons because it's going to be bones we find. 'It takes four to five months for a human body to decompose. 'These thoughts go through your head and it's hard to sleep. Some days are harder than others. It's just getting harder and more difficult.' Mr Bryant said Allan would sometimes stay out for a couple of days at a time, but he always kept his parents informed about where he was. His phone had been smashed a couple of weeks before his disappearance and he hadn't got round to getting a replacement when he went on what was a Saturday night out with pals over the Halloween weekend. Mr Bryant said Allan had his number memorised so would often call off his friends' phones. 'It was weird, I always knew where he was, he'd always let me know - this time when we woke up on the Sunday morning I said 'I've got a feeling something's not right'. 'We just felt something was really wrong. We held out for a day and then we reported him missing on the Monday. 'I just knew in my gut something bad had happened.' On the Saturday evening, Mr Bryant said Allan was 'in a really really happy mood'. He had some of his friends over for pre-drinks before they headed out to an engagement party at Leslie Golf Club on the outskirts of town, and then to the nightclub. 'The last time I talked to him he was about to leave the house, he was with a few friends having a drink,' Mr Bryant recalled. 'I preferred them sitting in the house rather than on the streets. Sometimes I could sit with them and have a laugh. 'He came downstairs all happy. He asked me for some money to go to an engagement party. He was in a really really happy mood.' Mr Bryant said he later spoke to a barman working at the golf club who said he had refused to sell Allan another alcoholic drink as he seemed too intoxicated. He said Allan had instead politely asked for a pint of water. Mr Bryant said his son's bedroom was left as it was for a while but eventually it was cleaned. 'It wasn't in the best state,' he joked, as Allan and his pals had left empty beer cans. 'It took a wee while.' One of Allan's sisters took a piece of the wallpaper from the bedroom when the family eventually moved out, and they kept some of his things, including his beloved Celtic top. Mr Bryant said he feels that police have been difficult ever since Allan vanished. 'They will only give me so much information because I don't think they trust me,' he said. He claims sniffer dogs have never been used and the family even had to hire professionals themselves to scour an area for Allan's remains after a tip off. Mr Bryant continued: 'I had to fight to get the CCTV released. Any other missing person case that would be released straight away. 'I was told it was data protection. I think it would be different if Allan was a woman. If he was a 23-year-old woman in a nightclub it would be released straight away. 'He was just a guy on a night out.' Mr Bryant added: 'I don't know if we'll ever find the truth but you've always got to hope, hold onto that bit of hope. 'I just need to keep Allan's photo out there so people don't forget about him.' A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Allan Bryant remains a missing person and officers continue to make enquiries to trace him. "Any new information will be assessed and anyone who can assist should call Police Scotland on 101.' 'It is difficult to look back at it though.' Sophie said just going into Allan jr's old bedroom after he went missing was hard for all of them. 'I think we left it for quite a while,' she said. 'We couldn't get rid of his stuff. We've still got it.' She said it was also hard moving house - the family have moved twice since 2013 - and she worried for a while if her brother were still out there he wouldn't know where to find them. Outside of her home life, Sophie has had to shoulder a lot over the years, including the often unwanted attention she receives from people in the town. At school she became known essentially as the girl whose brother disappeared. 'Even people I didn't know would come up to me, talking about it and asking if I'm his sister,' she said. 'There were always stupid rumours,' she continued. 'Just in high school you'd hear people say they've found him in a ditch - things that aren't true, but it's hard to hear. 'It really affected my anxiety when I heard that.' While she preferred to try and ignore the attention, Sophie remembers confronting someone who was making light of her brother's disappearance. 'I did once,' she said. 'I can't remember what I said but they knew I wasn't happy and they never did it again.' 14 Allan Bryant snr and Marie Degan are desperate to learn what happened to their son Credit: Andrew Barr 14 Sophie (right) and her older sister Amy Credit: Sophie Bryant 14 Allan sr, Amy, Sophie, Marie and Allan jr Credit: Andrew Barr Sophie went to college for a while but dropped out due to her anxiety. However, she plans to return eventually to study psychology. One thing that has always allowed her some peace is riding horses at a local stables. 'That seems to calm me down,' she said. 'I've made a lot of friends there. 'I started when I was 13, I started quite late,' she added laughing slightly. 'Horse riding helps me focus on what I'm doing.' Last week, Sophie posted on Facebook for the first time about Allan jr. 'I've been putting it off for a long time and as I'm older now it just makes sense to write a post,' she wrote. The post goes on to say she 'couldn't fully comprehend' her brother's disappearance at the time, adding: 'The effect it has had on the full family is devastating, I can't even put into words how heartbroken we all are. Timeline of missing Allan Bryant Jr case November 3 2013: Allan Bryant Jr disappeared on a night out with friends June 2014: Police Scotland released CCTV of Allan Jr leaving Styx nightclub at 2.02am 2015: Allan's family passed information to police through local contacts that he had gone to a house party the night he vanished 2017: Police searched a house in Glenrothes for 33 days as part of their investigation 2017: Allan's dad Allan Sr voiced fears his son may have had contact with organised gang members weeks before he went missing 2023: Allan Sr, wife Marie and daughter Amy held a media conference on the 10-year anniversary of the disappearance 'It wasn't until I got a bit older I realised how serious this was.' Sophie went on to write that she feels 'bad' for not having as many memories of Allan jr as her older sister Amy 'but all the memories I do have are all good ones'. 'I just pray that one day people will come forward and we can finally get the closure that we need,' she added. The post finishes: 'Not knowing what has happened to Allan is the worst thing, it's unimaginable for any family to go through. 'It's a living hell not knowing what has happened to Allan.' Asked about her post, she told The Sun: 'I'd been thinking about doing one for a while, I just didn't know how to start it. 'But a lot of people said they were proud of me for doing it. 'I just need one person to come forward who knows something.' 14 CCTV shows Allan Jr leaving Styx nightclub 14 Sophie with dad Allan jr, sister Amy and Jo Yuile, head of Missing People Credit: Michael Schofield 14 Sophie as a toddler with her mum Marie Credit: Sophie Bryant

Iconic Classic Rock Band Joins Forces With Eagles Guitarist For Epic Colorado Concert
Iconic Classic Rock Band Joins Forces With Eagles Guitarist For Epic Colorado Concert originally appeared on Parade. 80s classic rock legends Styx recently put on an epic light show while playing with Don Felder of The Eagles at their concert in Greenwood Village, Colorado on June 9. The band, which was formed in Chicago in 1972, stopped off in Greenwood Village on their 2025 North American Tour, where they played at the city's Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre. The tour is called 'The Brotherhood of Rock Tour,' which includes the band, Felder, and guitarist Kevin Cronin, who was part of REO Speedwagon. Recently, singer-guitarist Tommy Shawopened up about writing the band's 18th studio album, Circling From Above, which drops on July 18. "You're writing about your experiences in your life and things that you love and enjoy, or things that were hard to go through and that sort of thing,' he explained in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock published last month. 'So you're just really just writing a book in little sections like that.' The musician, 71, also explained that their label was a little wary of the album, considering it focuses on an aviary concept. Yep, you read that right: it's about birds. "But he says, 'Oh, we're birders!'" Shaw told UCR of the Styx concept album in a previous interview. "It was kind of risky to say this thing's gonna be about a bird. But there was so much enthusiasm and it's like, you know, sometimes in life things just go your way—and this went our way." The band's original lineup boasted Dennis DeYoung on vocals and keyboards, James 'JY' Young on guitar and vocals, John Curulewski on guitar and vocals, Chuck Panozzo on bass, and John Panozzo on drums. The current lineup consists of Young, Shaw, and Panozzo on bass, as well as Lawrence Gowan on vocals and keyboards, Todd Sucherman on drums, and Ricky Phillips on bass and guitar. Iconic Classic Rock Band Joins Forces With Eagles Guitarist For Epic Colorado Concert first appeared on Parade on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Nova Minerals Outlines Estelle 15,000m Exploration and Project Advancement Plan
Anchorage Alaska, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nova Minerals Limited ('Nova' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: NVA) (ASX: NVA) (FRA: QM3) ) is pleased to announce that preparations are now well underway for the upcoming field season at its over 500km2 flagship Estelle Project located in the Tintina Gold Belt in Alaska. A 15,000m drill program is set to commence shortly which will focus on key targets at RPM, Stibium, and Korbel. Highlights Helicopters, pad building crews, drillers, and geologists are now onsite to commence preparations for the 2025 field program, with drilling expected to commence in the coming weeks (Figures 1 and 2). The 2025 field campaign will concentrate on infill and expansion drilling at RPM and Korbel, supporting the advancement of feasibility studies and streamlining the permitting process (Figure 3, 4, 5 and 8). Initial drilling will also commence at the Stibium prospect, where surface sampling programs have identified an extensive 800m long by 400m wide gold-antimony rich zone with results up to 141 g/t Au and 60.5% Sb (ASX Announcement: 14 January 2025), aiming to establish a maiden mineral resource estimate for both gold and antimony (Figures 6 and 7). A comprehensive multi-element surface sampling exploration program will be carried out across the broader Estelle project area (Figure 9). Nova's application for potential U.S. Department of Defense funding—aimed at accelerating the establishment of a mineral resource estimate, as well as processing, refining, and eventual antimony production at Estelle—continues to advance. Pending a successful outcome of its funding application, the Company intends to deploy additional diamond drill rigs to expand the 2025 drilling program. This would allow for extended drilling at the Stibium prospect and the potential commencement of initial drill testing at the highly prospective Styx target. A majority of the drilling undertaken this year will be assayed for gold, antimony, and a suite of multi-elements, with results to be released to the market progressively as laboratory assays are received. Nova CEO, Mr Christopher Gerteisen commented: 'We are excited to commence the 2025 field season with a 15,000-metre drilling program aimed at unlocking further value across our Estelle Project. This campaign will focus on advancing the RPM and Korbel gold deposits toward feasibility and permitting, while also initiating a maiden resource at the Stibium prospect for both gold and antimony. With both metals trading near historic highs, the strategic significance and potential economic return of these near-surface assets underscore Nova's strong growth trajectory and long-term value proposition.' 2025 Field Program Preparations Preparations are now well underway for the upcoming field season at Nova's Estelle Project in Alaska. The Whiskey Bravo airstrip has been cleared, and over the past few weeks, fuel and supplies have been flown in, with deliveries still ongoing. Generators are up and running, the camp has been de-winterized, and pad construction and support crews, along with the geology team, have begun arriving on site. The first helicopter arrived this week, and initial drill teams have been mobilized, with more expected in the coming weeks. They will be preparing 2 diamond drill rigs and the company-owned reverse circulation (RC) rig, with drilling anticipated to begin, weather permitting, in the coming weeks. Over the winter, the RC rig was also fitted with a new compressor, to enable deeper drilling up to 100 meters. With both gold and antimony prices near all-time highs, Nova is set to significantly ramp up its operations this season. Up to 40 people will be housed at our fully operational camp, which will serve as the central hub for drill teams, providing logistical support and ensuring all necessary resources are in place for the season ahead. Figure 1. Camp and pad building crew on site Figure 2. Preparations for the 2025 field season are well underway 2025 Program Plans To ensure cost efficiency, the 2025 drilling campaign will utilize two diamond drill rigs alongside the Company-owned reverse circulation (RC) rig. The program is scheduled to run for a minimum of three months during the Alaskan summer, taking advantage of near 24-hour daylight to enable continuous, round-the-clock drilling on a rotational basis, seven days a week. While the 2025 program is primarily focused at RPM, Korbel, and Stibium, the drilling strategy remains dynamic and will be continuously evaluated. Adjustments will be made as needed based on initial drill core observations as the campaign advances, and additional diamond drill rigs will be added if the Company is successful in its application for U.S. Department of Defense funding to fast track its antimony assets. A majority of the drilling undertaken this year will be assayed for gold, antimony, and a suite of multi-elements, with results to be released to the market progressively as laboratory assays are received. Figure 3. Map of the Estelle project property showing the areas targeted for drilling in 2025 RPM Approximately 10,000m of drilling is planned at RPM, with four primary objectives: 1. Further definition of the RPM Deposit (Figure 4). a. Test strike extensions to the east to test below a heavily fractured zone (160m @ 0.6 g/t Au) from hole RPM-004 (ASX Announcement: 18 October 2021). This interval was hosted in hornfels and drilling plans to intercept the hornfels/intrusive contact as intrusive was observed below in RPM-003. The hornfels/intrusive contact hosts a bulk of the high-grade mineralization encountered at RPM, and testing this eastern extent will follow an observed fault zone that appears to be the primary pathway for late-stage mineralization at RPM. b. Upgrade the measured and indicated resources at the main RPM deposit and test intrusive dikes to the south. c. Continue to expand the RPM resource in the valley to the west, by targeting the hornfels/intrusive contact. 2. Exploration drilling to the north of the current RPM North deposit targeting geochemical anomalies along the ridge line (Figure 5). 3. Reverse-circulation (RC) drilling in the RPM glacial debris lobe area, where surface sampling in 2024 identified rock samples up to 52.3 g/t Au and till samples averaging 1.1 g/t Au over a 1.7 km strike length (ASX Announcement: 3 February 2025 and Figure 5). 4. Hydrology wells to improve knowledge of surface and groundwater hydrology around the deposit, and to expand environmental baseline surveying to advance feasibility studies while also positioning the project for future permitting. Figure 4. 2025 drill target areas at/near the RPM deposit Figure 5. 2025 exploration drill targets outside the main RPM deposit zone Stibium Approximately 3,000m of drilling is planned at the Stibium prospect, targeting the establishment of a maiden mineral resource estimate for both gold and antimony (Figures 6 and 7). Surface sampling has defined a substantial mineralised zone, approximately 800m long and 400m wide, with high-impact results including (ASX Announcement: 14 January 2025): 12 rock samples > 30% Sb with a high of 60.5% Sb 10 soil samples > 0.1% Sb with a high of 2.8% Sb 16 rock samples > 5 g/t Au with a high of 141 g/t Au 35 soil samples > 1 g/t Au with a high of 25.6 g/t Au This target will be expanded to include further diamond drill rigs if the Company is successful in its application for U.S. Department of Defense funding to fast track its antimony assets. Figure 6. Antimony soils heat map with rock samples highlighting resource drill targets Figure 7. Gold soils heat map with rock samples highlighting resource drill targets Korbel Approximately 2,000m of drilling is planned at Korbel, where Nova has already defined a multi-million-ounce, bulk-tonnage gold resource. This campaign will primarily focus on evaluating a potential higher-grade starter pit at Korbel Main, with the flexibility to extend the drilling to additional high-priority targets across the broader valley. Figure 8. Map of the Korbel Valley area showing potential 2025 drill targets Surface Exploration Sampling and Mapping Program An extensive regional surface exploration program will run in parallel with drilling, with field teams conducting geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and target delineation across the broader Estelle Project area. This work will specifically focus on identifying and advancing new high-priority prospects to support future resource growth. High-priority areas will include adding coverage north of Korbel, increasing sample density between Portage Pass and Tomahawk, and follow-up mapping and sampling at West Wing, Styx, and the greater Train area (Figure 9). Korbel, West Wing, and Styx all offer a good opportunity to discover increased mineralization near the intrusive/hornfels (Kahiltna Flysch) contacts. In addition, infill sampling will be conducted at RPM and Styx. Figure 9. Map of the Estelle project highlighting areas for surface sampling work in 2025 Feasibility Study Test-Work Alongside its ongoing exploration and drilling programs, Nova is making significant progress in its metallurgical, environmental, and process engineering test work. These efforts are advancing the current feasibility study and are aimed at streamlining the permitting process.
