Missing man’s mother to make appeal

The mother of a missing York teenager who was last seen stripping naked and running towards a river is due to make an emotional appeal today in an attempt to find her son as fears for his safety continue to grow.

Nicola Jobling will be reading a statement this morning in a fresh appeal to trace 19-year-old Jordan Sullivan – a week after he was last seen at 9.30am near the river in Naburn.

Search teams and family members have continued to scour the city following the teenager’s mysterious disappearance.

However, police have scaled back the hunt and underwater searches of the River Ouse, which were carried out over four days by a specialist team from West Yorkshire Police, concluded on Friday.

Officers have maintained they are keeping an “open mind” over the teenager’s fate.

Mr Sullivan is white, around 5ft 9in, with a slim build and short dark hair.

He also has a tattoo of a crucifix running between his shoulder blades.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101.
