Jack O'Sullivan's mum walks the route he was last seen taking

2 months ago

Missing Jack O'Sullivan's mum has been filmed walking and discussing the route he was last seen taking in Bristol before he disappeared.

Catherine O'Sullivan is videoed talking about the evening her son vanished after leaving a party more than six months ago.

Multiple searches by police and organised privately by the family have failed to yield significant answers - and his disappearance remains a mystery.

Jack, 23, was last seen at 3.15am on Saturday March 2 in the area of Brunel Lock Road/Brunel Way, in Bristol.

His mother has been filmed on the route CCTV showed him taking that night - with the videos posted on the 'Find Jack' campaign Facebook page.

00:00So what we do know is that he's come along past the front of the restaurant and then he's carried

00:06on but then cut through these pillars and then he's worked possibly through this car park or

00:16possibly on the roads and he's picked up again then on the Create Centre building,

00:22there's a on the corner over there there's a camera.

00:24That road is open, this is where there's a stationary car after Jack has left this area

00:34but again it just stops in the middle of the road over there.

00:38So this is about 10 or 15 minutes after Jack is seen,

00:42was that you know because by then he could have easily been picked up over there and

00:46brought back around here but anyway that's never been pursued.

00:55So there's a camera which is on the corner of that building so below the sort of red brick

01:04it's really hard to see it's within the trees and that's what's picked him up going around this

01:11corner which is shown you know a really small section. What we can only assume is that he

01:21carried on through here. There are lots of cameras all over here but not all of them are working.

01:33We've got an imagery of Jack and he's passing these railings and they'll come in this direction.

01:41So this is the point now where we know that he's here somewhere but we don't see him again

01:48for about eight minutes and we don't believe he's gone down there

01:54because there is a camera at the end of there and that doesn't pick up anything.

01:59You know for a long while because we had no further sighting

02:04we didn't you know I never felt this was a possibility that he'd get over this.

02:09He wouldn't naturally just fall again you know fall over here.

02:15You know when it is dark it is pitch black there's nothing under here.

02:19When we came down here at one in the morning we just brought torches and things our phones with us.

02:27He's entered the car park. We can't be certain whether it's from this end we could have walked

02:33along here and thought hang on this is wrong and got back on himself hence the time because

02:39obviously there was this lapse of time and I don't believe that he was just sitting still

02:44for that time. So for this you know chap who'd been to a party that didn't know where he was

02:50that was you know drunk and you know in the vicinity of water well he's sailed through this

02:57lot you know he's now crossed over from it hot wells over the wooden bridge by the pump house.

03:07You know he's come down the side of where the where the lock side is that restaurant

03:11fishbowl you know where if he hadn't chosen to be on the pavement side he could have been on the

03:17lock side of that but he's kind of evaded a lot of potential issue. So for me I'm thinking well

03:28you know he's cleared this he's cleared that he's all the time he seems to be getting himself

03:33out of scrapes rather than more into it and then to put himself up on that bridge.

03:42You know for the end point as the police is thinking is that he's obviously you know ended

03:48up in the water but he's done a hell of a job in in getting them because you know something like

03:54this to me is really dangerous you know it's pitch black normally you know there's no lighting out

04:02and you could just wander thinking I wonder what's over there and you could be down the side

04:10in an instant. Next time he's picked up he's entering this car park and it's from this angle

04:17he's walking through here and passing these pillars he's on this side

04:24there wasn't obviously so many vehicles

04:27around then these are the heads of them

04:34yeah there's there's a there's a part of this that is like a holding bay for council material

04:43that is the security shop over there and it's their cameras that pick him up and they've got

04:50him walking through here and walking straight across here this van obviously wasn't there

04:57and walking up onto the grass. This was all grown up this was much more the flowerbed

05:04so that's why I could always work out my how he did because I can see him and he's walking and

05:11he's he's not walked through the flowerbed he's gone this side of it and then he then he's kind

05:16of walked into the middle and then obviously no more footage we didn't see anything after that

05:22because that's the angle that cuts out and he's off camera for about eight or nine minutes

05:29and we can't be exact of what's happened at that time much later CCTV is that you know he's come up

05:36and he's followed this road all the way to the top

05:41you know he's gone up on this side because if he if he had been on the other side then that camera

05:46in the underground car park would have picked up the movement of him and

05:53but at this distance it hadn't picked anything up

06:00but there are some vehicles up and down this road at that time not many but some people have gone past

06:09my gut feeling is to continue to the top of this road and then try to make a decision on what to do

06:17because again he's off camera for about five minutes but then when you do get to the top

06:23obviously the traffic is constant but there is a stop over there where the lights and the lights

06:29were in action because I can see that on the CCTV so again I'm thinking

06:33so now we know he's got to about here and it's like again what's happened next

06:41because he's off camera and then he re-emerges at the other you know so whether he's on the

06:49other side of the road he's on the other side of the road he's on the other side of the road

06:55because he's off camera and then he re-emerges

07:01at the other you know so whether he's gone back on himself and then come up that side

07:09there's no comfort of anything stopping and if you did locate an uber where on earth would you

07:15put a location at because you know this is no there's no natural stop here

07:20it's actually no it's from this point now Jack comes into camera so he's he's as he sort of

07:27heading along here that camera has picked him up and he's definitely on this side of the road

07:33not that way I know that 15 vehicles come past him because I'm counting them as I watch him go

07:42so I just feel like this is quite an unusual place for a pedestrian

07:47in daytime let alone purposely in the morning we've been constantly constantly appealing for

07:53someone to come forward and say did you see that person up there goes off shot goes off camera

08:02pretty much as the bridge ends this is the Pinsill Bridge we've just walked over

08:08and the stretch of road that we would be following on down now is called Bennet Way

08:16and we don't know how Jack has got to the end of Bennet Way but we certainly know he's

08:22walked back up it so you know our you know but one of the questions that we can't get to the

08:29bottom of is how did he get to the exit and potentially it would be following on this path

08:36and he's walking in a straight line with quite purpose you know his movement is such that he's

08:41stopped and even when he's gone out of sight for a moment if you keep time with him then he

08:48reappears so I just felt that that movement was quite consistent on the way down there is

08:54potential he's walked down this stretch on this side of the road and then obviously what we've

09:01got on footage of him coming back up would be on the opposite side of the road
