  • A complete stranger has offered a £100,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of student Jack O’Sullivan, who vanished in Bristol.
  • Jack O’Sullivan was last seen leaving a house party in the Hotwells area of Bristol in March last year, and no trace has been found since.
  • His mother, Catherine O’Sullivan, expressed her shock at the generous reward, which supersedes the family’s previous £20,000 appeal, hoping it will provide answers.
  • Avon and Somerset Police have conducted an extensive investigation, including river searches, and a senior investigator is now undertaking a further review of the case.
  • Jack’s mother believes he did not fall into the water and speculates he may have been taken from the Bristol area in a vehicle.
