Mum's desperate plea as son Jake vanishes after leaving Bristol O2 Academy

The mum of a 20-year-old who went missing four days ago in Bristol has made a desperate appeal for his safe return. Jake was last seen at around 1.45am on Sunday, March 5, leaving the O2 Academy in Frogmore Street.

Mum Louise Evans said Jake's family are "worried sick" and "terrified" for him and hopes that he comes home soon. Avon and Somerset Police issued an appeal yesterday (March 8) and said they are growing increasingly concerned for Jake's welfare.

Wales Online reports that Louise said: "I am going out of my mind with worry. It's horrible not knowing where Jake is." Officers said Jake was last seen wearing a dark blue jumper, a green Bob Marley T-shirt, black jeans, black shoes, and a black baseball cap (as shown in the image on the left photo above).

Jake, who is from Pembrokeshire and has no local links to Bristol, is described as white, about 5ft 6ins tall, with short brown hair and a neat moustache.

Detective inspector Will Thorpe of Avon and Somerset Police said: “Officers from our Neighbourhood Policing team will be handing out leaflets in the city centre in the hopes of finding any information on Jake’s whereabouts.

"We are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare and would like to speak to anyone who recognises him and may have seen him in the early hours of Sunday morning.”
