Mother of missing student Jack O"Sullivan speaks out in Bristol

Jack O'Sullivan, a 23-year-old law student, went missing in Hotwells, Bristol on March 2 after attending a friend's house party. His mother, Catherine O'Sullivan, has been vocal about the challenges they face in the search for Jack, including receiving 'blackmail offers' and the lack of serious attention from the police. She has organized private search efforts, including specialist dog teams, to cover areas not confirmed as searched by law enforcement. The police have conducted an extensive investigation, reviewing over 100 hours of CCTV footage and employing various search teams, including drones and divers. Despite these efforts, they have been unable to locate Jack. Catherine has expressed frustration over the police's communication and the investigation's progress, particularly regarding the data from an Apple AirTag that could provide leads. Catherine has enlisted the help of a missing persons expert, a private investigator, and a legal team to assist in the search. She has emphasized the overwhelming support from the community, highlighting the kindness of strangers who have come forward to help. However, the family continues to struggle with the emotional toll of Jack's disappearance and the lack of definitive answers. The Avon and Somerset Police have acknowledged the family's concerns and are working to improve communication. They have voluntarily referred the case for independent oversight to ensure transparency in the ongoing investigation. The family remains hopeful for answers and continues to seek support from the public and media.
