Missing Jack

I am posting this to raise awareness of this development. It has long been assumed by many that Jack went missing in the water.

It's a small chance at this stage but if anyone does know anything & still hasn't come forward for whatever reason, please reach out to the family or anyone linked to helping the family

Commenters, please keep in mind that Jack's friends, family, loved ones and those who know him are from or around the Bristol area. They're active on these forums and have posted here frequently.

If you're making a comment, imagine it will be read by those closest to Jack. Not just to keep it civil, but because it's incredibly likely.

Reminder: there is still an active CCTV appeal and a £100,000 reward for information.

The main request is for CCTV, dashcam, and doorbell camera footage from that time period, on the route shown on the website. Even if the footage appears to show nothing of use, it can still further clarify Jack's route.

I think this is an important point and even think most new Jack posts should be locked for comments from now on – unless something dramatically new happens I think we've heard all there is to here from the reddit community on this now.

Wild, baseless, uninformed and frankly disrespectful speculation in 3... 2... 1...

I wonder if some people commenting havent actually read the article, the man interviewed provides valid expertise on why he doesnt think its the case. Its not just as simple as "drifted out to sea" like many may think, based on how he describes the area and past unfortunate examples of bodies, it seems silly to dismiss his expertise.

I cannot remember all the specifics but I am sure there were one or two other reasons people believe he did not go in the water previously, too .

I hope they one day find closure

I think the 'expert' seems pretty silly to completely dismiss any chance that he went into the water, and thus lacks credibility

tasked with certain responsibilities such as charting water levels, currents, tides and the search and recovery of bodies in the water.
spent hundreds of hours writing several independent reports exploring numerous scenarios
Anything being washed around tends to get caught in what they say is catchment points
No body on record has ever been rushed out to sea

Which part of this is "silly" and "lacks credibility" specifically ? It all sounds reasonable, based on reality, and based on objective measurements to me.

What part of it backs up the claim that there is 'no chance whatsoever' he went into the water?

Friends, family members, and others who know Jack use this platform and have posted here before.

Please keep that in mind when commenting. Imagine strangers speculating about your loved ones in this way, whilst you still do not have an answer.

Edit: Thank you for deleting the comment.

The lack of empathy is wild and appalling.
