POLICE and SOCIAL MEDIA
I have been advised by Catherine, (Jack’s Mother) recent and highly distressing activity on social media, have caused the Family to involve the police. This does not involve the Facebook group page, I established, ‘So where is Jack O’Sullivan now?”
Out of respect for Jack and his family, who are trying to deal with this extremely challenging ongoing situation, I have of course agreed to the family’s request, not to post anything, at the present time, which is not already in the public domain.
The announcement on the group page, concerning Jack going on his app for an Uber, and my disclosure concerning his mobile, disconnecting from the iCloud, before leaving the party at Hotwells Road, were posted before, I was aware of the added distress the family are currently being subjected to.
The family have previously acknowledged, delays they have already experienced, may have caused this investigation, to have progress at a slower rate than they had reasonably expected.
In cases like this, there is no purpose served, in simply setting up social media pages and groups, which simply churn out the same information. That information may become subject to partial or totally inaccuracy with the passing of time. Judges frequently refer to this as ‘Chinese whispers’ Lady Lucan use to say to me ‘Red herrings.’ All this detracts from what should be the focus, and sadly hinders case progression.
The purpose therefore in setting up the Facebook group, was and continues to be, for the purpose of advancing the search for answers in Jack’s case.
