By Martin Booth  Monday Aug 19, 2024

More searches have been carried out for Jack O’Sullivan including on the ground and in the air with drones around the Create Centre.

Specialist search dogs and a volunteer search and rescue team have also thoroughly searched “an area of interest” in Bower Ashton.

Jack has not been seen since a night out in Hotwells on March 2, with a new mural painted over the weekend on Sydney Row in Spike Island by Farrah Fortnam highlighting the continued search efforts to find the 23-year-old former Clifton College pupil.

Writing on the Find Jack Facebook page – which has almost 55,000 members – about the search in Bower Ashton, missing persons expert Charlie Hedges said: “We know there have been a lot of questions about searches, hopefully, this allays any concerns that nothing is being done.

“We’ve just been busy behind the scenes making sure the methodology and search techniques were correct.

“Searches must be planned and managed correctly, using appropriate search assets, with outcomes accurately recorded.

“Thank you again for your vigilance and the support you have shown over this very difficult period.”
