I just want my gorgeous boy to get in touch says mother of missing man
Nicola Jobling made the emotional plea yesterday 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.
Speaking near the scene where Mr Sullivan was last sighted, she said: “I am desperately begging for you, my gorgeous, gorgeous boy Jord, to get in touch and please let me know you are safe.

“I am appealing, as a mum, to anyone and everyone to come forward, if you have any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, about where Jordan is now.
“If you have seen Jordan in this area on other occasions, please contact the police. It’s not an area I was aware he knew or visited.”
Search teams and family members have continued to scour the city following the teenager’s mysterious disappearance.

Officers have maintained they are keeping an “open mind” over the teenager’s fate.
Speaking to the Yorkshire Post last week, the police officer leading the search, Inspector Jo Brooksbank, said: “We have been conducting house-to-house inquiries in the locality to see if there is any information that might produce any further lines of inquiry that we can follow. We have no information to suggest why he was in a state of undress.
“We are keeping an open mind as to what might have happened to Jordan. We are hoping there will be some developments fairly quickly.”
