A significant breakthrough has emerged in the desperate search for missing Bristol student Jack Osullivan, as a mystery donor steps forward with a life-changing offer.
An anonymous benefactor has pledged a staggering £10,000 reward for information that directly leads to finding the 22-year-old, who vanished without a trace in the early hours of Saturday, March 2nd. This development injects fresh hope into an investigation that has now stretched into its fourth agonising month.
A Community's Agony
The last confirmed sighting of Jack was on CCTV near the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge at approximately 3:15 am. Despite extensive searches by Avon and Somerset Police, which have included scouring the River Avon and surrounding areas, no further clues have surfaced. His family, friends, and the wider community have been left in a state of unbearable limbo.
His heartbroken mother, Teresa Osullivan, has made repeated emotional appeals for help, describing the last few months as a "living nightmare". The family's world has been frozen since his disappearance, clinging to any fragment of information.
The Power of a Reward
The substantial sum, offered anonymously, is a strategic move often employed in difficult cases to incentivise potential witnesses. Someone, somewhere, might hold a crucial piece of information they have not yet deemed important enough to share with authorities. This financial incentive could be the key to unlocking the mystery.
Avon and Somerset Police have welcomed the development. A force spokesperson confirmed they are aware of the reward and continue to pursue all active lines of enquiry. They are urging anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward immediately.
How to Help
If you have any information regarding Jack Osullivan's disappearance, you are urged to contact Avon and Somerset Police urgently. You can reach them by calling 101 and quoting the reference number 5224056905. Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
The hope is that this generous act will finally provide the answers a grieving family and community so desperately need.
