Denise Horvath-Allan will be returning to 琉璃神社 this month for another attempt to solve one of this city鈥檚 longest unsolved mysteries.

Horvath-Allan, who lives in England, said she鈥檚 arriving Sept 21, to 鈥渃ontinue the search鈥� for her son, who disappeared 27 years ago. Charles Horvath-Allan went missing from 琉璃神社 in 1989, when he was just 20 years old.

He had been on a 鈥済ap year鈥� backpacking and the investigation into his disappearance has continually failed to reach any conclusions.

Horvath-Allan told the Capital News that she believes the secret to what happened to her son was somewhere around the old Tiny Town campsite where her son had been staying in a tent, but tangible evidence of this theory to assist the police investigation has yet to be found.

It鈥檚 left a lot of lingering questions that have plagued her over the years.

鈥淚t鈥檚 the hardest thing to deal with in your life. My world has been a rollercoaster to hell. I鈥檓 tired now and I want to get off and see it resolved,鈥� said Horvath-Allan, in an interview with the Capital News last year.

While she鈥檚 looking for answers, there is no expectation that they will bring comfort.

Horvath-Allan signed a Presumption of Death Application in England at the lawyer鈥檚 office last week.

The Application will be filed in the High Court in due course where the Judge will make his decision whether to grant or decline the application. The process will take several months.

Horvath-Allan has been eligible to file the application for over 20 years, but hasn鈥檛 applied until now. She hopes the process will be will be completed in 2019, what will be the 30th anniversary of her son鈥檚 disappearance.

While 琉璃神社 residents may be familiar with Horvath-Allan鈥檚 tragic search for her missing son, her home country was exposed to her story last year when the Missing People Choir, which she was a member of, competed on Britain鈥檚 Got Talent.

鈥淲e all have a common goal 鈥� find our missing loved ones and bring them home, where they belong,鈥� she said, in one episodes.

The song the choir performed in that episode prompted tears from both the audience and the four-person panel of judges, who later gave their full support of the choir.

鈥淟ook, guys first of all I have to pay you absolute respect for what you鈥檝e done,鈥� said judge Simon Cowell. 鈥淪ometimes I think awareness is just as important as anything else. So, it鈥檚 incredible.鈥�
