The case will feature on RTÉ's Crimecall on Monday night. Dernaun Hayden, a childhood friend, said Mr Scully's elderly mother is particularly distressed by his disappearance.

“He doted on his mother,” said Mr Hayden. “He was up with her every day.” Mr Scully’s disappearance was out of character, added Mr Hayden. “You could set your time by Peter, you’d know where he was nearly any stage of the day.”
