The mother of missing university student Jack O'Sullivan has retraced the route he took on the night he disappeared in Bristol, more than six months ago. Catherine O'Sullivan walked the path captured on CCTV, sharing her insights in videos posted to the 'Find Jack' campaign Facebook page.
Jack, 23, was last seen at 3.15am on Saturday, March 2, in the area of Brunel Lock Road and Brunel Way. He had left a party on Hotwell Road at 2.53am. Catherine's video follows his route from Macadam Way, south of Cumberland Basin, highlighting where he was captured on cameras and where footage goes dark.
In the video, Catherine points out a stationary car that stopped in the middle of the road 10 to 15 minutes after Jack was last seen. She speculates he could have been picked up there. She also notes that many cameras in the area were not working, complicating efforts to trace his movements.
Catherine describes the area as poorly lit and 'creepy,' particularly under the motorway bridge by the canal. She dismisses the idea that Jack fell into the water, saying he would have had to climb a fence. Police, however, believe he may have ended up in the water, but Catherine argues he seemed to be navigating away from danger.
Multiple searches by police and private efforts have failed to find Jack. Catherine urges anyone who drove past her son that night to contact police, saying: 'So much has been missed that unless I can see it with my own eyes…'
