The last sighting was on CCTV as he went into the Nisa store in Portrush. They used money from the sale of their property to fund further searches in the coming months and a £10,000 reward was put up for any information on Dean.
In a first for Northern Ireland, special drones were brought in to help scour the area’s coastline in the weeks after Dean went missing, but they failed to uncover any clues.
Anyone with any information is asked to make contact with the PSNI on 101 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
