The TV3 documentary on Amy Fitzpatrick has been postponed, after her mother Audrey Fitzpatrick has threatened legal action.
The Dubliner went missing in the early hours on New Year’s Day in 2008, and was last seen leaving friend Ashley and her mum Debbie Rose’s apartment in Costa del Sol.
“Audrey sent in a letter from her lawyers saying she will sue, that she is going to get an injunction if we go to air,” a source said.

Audrey came under fire for standing by her husband, Dave Mahon, after he was convicted for killing her other child, son Dean Fitzpatrick, in 2013.
“She claims it could defame her and be defamatory to Dave Mahon,” the source told the Irish Independent.
“She said that she could tell by the people that were taking part in it that it would be negative.
“She also said we would be putting her husband’s life in danger if the documentary went out.”

Dave and Audrey suggested shortly after Amy’s disappearance that Irish criminal Eric ‘Lucky’ Wilson may have been responsible for her disappearance.
“Mahon has been moved from Mountjoy and into Wheatfield prison,” the source added.
“He has also been taken off protection, which he insisted on when he went in.
“Mahon has tried to rule the roost already in Wheatfield.
“He has been trying to get more phone calls than he’s entitled to and has already had one confrontation with a prison officer there.”
