22-year-old Jack O’Sullivan mysteriously vanished from Bristol in March 2024. Jack was in his second year of a law conversion degree after gaining an undergraduate degree in History from the University of Exeter. He decided to move home and continue his studies in his home city of Bristol.
On March 2nd 2024, Jack left the family home for the final time. He told his mother, Catherine, that he was debating whether to attend a house party near Hotwells, Bristol. In the end, Jack attended the party and exchanged texts with his mother during the night.
At 1:00 AM, Jack texted his mother, Catherine, telling her he was going to call a taxi. His next confirmed movements were at 3:30 AM when he called a friend. The friend later told police that the call was odd, Jack only said ‘hello’ before the call disconnected.
Between 1:00 AM and 3:30 AM, CCTV captured Jack walking from the party towards the city centre. At 3:40 AM, 10 minutes after the bizarre call, Jack was spotted walking along Bennett Way slip road toward Hotwells.
Sadly, Jack never made it home and at 5:00 AM, Catherine awoke with a sick feeling in her stomach. Jack’s bed remained empty and he wasn’t answering her calls. At 6:44 AM, Jack’s phone went dead with the last ping placing him at an address in Granby Hill, Bristol.
Catherine and Alan, Jack’s father called the Avon and Somerset Police to report him missing, but they informed the family they would need to wait another 12 hours. Jack’s parents fought with police and finally, at 11:00 AM, they opened an investigation.
They uncovered CCTV and phone records, which showed Jack’s final movements as detailed above. The Avon and Somerset Police have received criticism from Jack’s family, as they believe they failed to take the case seriously and investigate all avenues from the get-go.
Catherine O’Sullivan spends every waking moment looking for her son, dredging through every area of Bristol, whether it be urbanised or forested. She also created a website called ‘findjackosullivan.co.uk’ and a Facebook group called ‘Find Jack’ with over 63,000 members.
A GoFundMe was also created to help the family pay for a private investigator and a reward. Jack’s friends and family remain active in their search for their beloved and ask others to share his story to keep his name alive.
At the time of his disappearance, Jack O’Sullivan was described as a white male with brown hair, blue eyes, 5’10” with a slim build. He was last seen wearing a cream knit lambswool jumper, navy blue chinos, brown Ralph Lauren trainers and a green/khaki Barbour jacket.
