Catherine O’Sullivan pleads for information on her son Jack’s disappearance in Bristol, as the family continues their search for answers.
Bristol: It’s been a tough 10 months for Catherine O’Sullivan, the mother of missing student Jack. She’s still holding onto hope for answers about what happened to him.
Jack, who was just 23 when he disappeared, was last seen at 3:15 AM on March 2, 2024. Catherine describes the past year as a nightmare, filled with uncertainty and heartache.
Despite numerous searches and a high-profile campaign, there have been no leads. Catherine spends her days searching for Jack, determined to find out what happened.
She admits it’s been exhausting, but giving up isn’t an option. “We have to keep going,” she says, even when it feels overwhelming. The family is committed to finding answers.
She’s frustrated by the lack of information from the police, who haven’t shared much with them. It’s been a struggle, and Catherine feels like they’re still in the dark.
As the holidays approach, the pain feels even sharper. Catherine reflects on how difficult it is to celebrate without knowing where Jack is. She’s been fighting to access data about his missing phone, hoping it might lead to new clues.
Community support has been a lifeline for her. A Facebook group dedicated to finding Jack has brought together people who care and want to help. But despite the support, the family still feels lost.
Experts have told Catherine that if Jack had fallen into the water, he would likely have been found by now. She clings to that hope, even as doubts creep in.
People have reached out with all sorts of theories, some supportive and others harsh. Catherine tries to ignore the negativity but admits it’s tough. She just wants to find her son.
The last sighting of Jack was near a grass area at the junction of Brunel Lock Way and Brunel Way. The family has lost faith in the police investigation and continues to search on their own.
Over 100 hours of CCTV footage has been reviewed, and extensive searches have been conducted, but still no answers. Catherine urges anyone with information to reach out, hoping for a breakthrough.
