MISSING PERSON - To ask you all to memorise his face

Why is this not in the mainstream news but we keep hearing about that eegit in Tenerife?

I’m so sorry about this poor young man. Bumping for more attention.

It's the Severn that has the second highest tidal range.. not that it matters. Poor, poor boy. I have a DS a bit younger and my heart breaks for his family.

I'm sorry to say, but he most probably fell in and has been swept out to sea and most probably will never be found.

My husband has spent many a day looking for body's in various locations as a police diver.

I have experience of a male relative going missing and it is extremely difficult to get any media support. I desperately hope Jack is found and soon, my heart goes out to him and his family.

At least you are trying. Some just say it's not worth bothering 🙄 keep sharing and hopefully someone might know something

It's not been tried here, so you don't actually know if it would work. If a couple of short stories were shared with information it might work but hey ho don't try it because padlock says it won't 🙄work. I'd rather try than do nothing.

why is being realistic called "negative"? People are suggesting things that could not possible happen, and would not help if they did happen. Thats the actual truth. It isn't "negative" to say so. I had to report someone missing just a few weeks ago. I know very well what the real life situation is

I have not heard of Jack disappearing - and I spend some time in Bristol each month. I hope he is found safe and well.

But I agree @YourMommaWasASnowblower . It is possible to compare the coverage of Nicola Bulley with that of Toby Burwell. Both missing within a month of each other.

You are quite the negative with your answers aren't you! Glad you're not in charge of missing people, just give up then.

Well, obviously not someone missing since the 1950's but people from a particular area in the last 12 months. It is possible. There are ways to increase who sees requests for information. Worth a try for the relatives waiting in anguish.

The crime watch programme ran for many years with many successes of old crime

rubbish, you just don't appreciate the numbers. There are thousands and thousands of people in the uk that have been missing longer than this.

You can't have a "round up of them at the end of the news".

Its not rare, there are literally thousands of people who are missing in the uk who have been missing far longer, and there are hundreds of dead bodies that are never identified, as well

I'm happy to speculate about the "Bristol pusher", it's bollocks. Young men, alcohol and water are a very bad combination.

OP and anyone not familiar, no it would not have been very difficult for him to have fallen into the river. And the horrible and blunt truth is that if he did fall into the river it's quite possible he will never be found. The river Avon has the second highest tidal range in the world. It's a dangerous river- fast, a strong current and full of debris and mud.

I know the area and there are definitely places he could have fallen in. It is far to common in Bristol, this is why many people believe there could be someone pushing people in. I wont speculate on that, but plenty of young lads on their way home from a night out do end up in the water

Indeed.

So for the long term missing or after x period of time it would be possible to do a round up of missing people at the end of the news. It might trigger some information

I do know it a bit and there's a couple of places he could have slipped in if he actually went that way when he disappeared off the CCTV.

I would dearly love him to turn up in a shelter like they're all hoping. I can't even begin to understand how his family are coping. They seem so close, even down to Jack texting his mum to tell her he was heading home soon etc.

It's honestly heartbreaking. I will keep sharing his photo.

Considering that Jack looked unsteady on his feet in the CCTV and had fallen and banged his head before leaving the party, (possible concussion) it seems most likely that the poor lad is in the water. He crossed over a couple of very precarious parts of it.

With it being tidal around there sadly he may never be found.

I'm absolutely gutted for his parents going through this.

This has been covered a lot locally and there was a thread on here about the case last week.
He was very near the water and it is quite possible he entered the water in the tidal river which would mean he could be almost anywhere

I can only begin to imagine the nightmare that his parents, family and friends are enduring. I hope and pray that Jack is safe and will be found,

What is it you think the police should be doing that you know they aren't doing?
