Looking at a map of Baldwin St, he would have had to cross the river if he decided to walk the 4 miles home to Whitchurch. Can any locals confirm whether there's a taxi rank nearby, would buses be running etc?

According to the "find jason" page above, there was another sighting at 3.45am on Baldwin St heading toward Queen Charlotte Street.

Personally, I would have headed towards the city centre (Colston Avenue) to get a taxi or night bus (I don't think night buses go to Whitchurch though, closest might be a 75 or 76 to Hengrove/Hartcliffe). But it is a while since I had a night out in Bristol and the centre has changed a lot in the past few months and the road layouts have changed.

EDITED TO ADD: Basically, there are plenty of transport options from the area he was last seen to get home, there are loads of taxis around that area on a friday night and walking would have been possible if he didn't have the money for one.

It's all a bit too close to the water for my liking though.

Thanks for this, LadyN, always useful to have local info. I wonder if he would have typically walked home or jumped in a cab.

I also fear the water proximity, was he near the floating nightclub (Thekla??) or the marina where the last two were found?

Good point, if the last sighting was heading toward Queen Charlotte street from Baldwin St, he might have been heading towards Redcliffe bridge, which would be the bridge I would use when I was walking home (when I lived in south Bristol) and would be the obvious crossing point if he was heading home. That bridge is right next to the Thekla.

Well here I am back on Websleuths, this guy comes from the same area as me although I didnt know him I have some friends on FB who know the family.

A lot of people have been saying locally that there is someone going round pushing young men in the river (because this would be the 4th recent death if that was so). I dont think so, the police did make a statement dispelling that rumour. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/avon-and-somerset-police-drowning-death-serial-killer-bristol-pusher-manchester-pusher-abdulkadir-a7638126.html

Why would the police not have searched the water by now?

webnut · May 2, 2017

In answer to my own question, police divers have been in the water this evening (from the Find Jason FB page) but have found nothing. Seems a funny time of day to start a water search and also only a small area could have been looked at.

The family of missing Jason Gurgul who disappeared after a night out in Bristol have made an emotional appeal for him to come home.

It seems that the last sighting is at the "One Stop" shop on Queen Charlotte St, in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The shop closes at 10pm, so not open when Jason went past.

This sounds ominous https://www.facebook.com/groups/469360390071964/permalink/471777556496914/

They've virtually locked down the page and turned off all commenting so I think an announcement will be made, feeling sick at the thought of it.

Yep, something changed in the space of 30 mins....

Good to see you, Webnut. Shame about the circs.

Thanks, these cases make me worry for my 19 year old son when he finally starts drinking in town (no money at the moment!)

Still open, they are having a big public search tomorrow.

Belleville · May 3, 2017

Have they finished searching the water?
