Was the v-shed still open at that time ? I thought they all close around 2am but it’s been a while since I’ve been there. Also between Olisa going back to his girl friends and leaving again, is that from phone data too or from his girl friend ?

Where was he going ? Has he been stressed lately etc. Keeping everything crossed for him coming safely home

It appears he may have just gone there, but not actually inside. As reported sitting on dock. Was he meeting someone?

Must be doubly worrying for you.

Are you still there, at uni? What is he like as a person? Did he have any worries about uni, money, or other? Was he his usual self before disappearing?

I hope there is some resolution within the next 48hrs.

I hope there will be some positive news today about Olisa.

There have already been some rumours surrounding possible sightings

I'm still at uni and he's in my year. He's incredibly popular and well-liked, plays football for the university and has some very good close relationships as well. He does Mechanical Engineering, a stressful and demanding course, it's currently exam season, so the only thought I have in my head of why he could have disappeared is because it all became too much for him. But his journey on Saturday night, heading down to Broadside Quay, a 20 minute cycle ride, staying there for some time and then returning to his house before leaving again seems as if he may have met someone down there?

I'll try to post some maps of where Olisa went, in relation to where he lives, as well as some new GPS info about a walk he took the day before in Leigh Woods, Bristol (A very dense woodland just at the edge of the city). I know his girlfriend and a number of his friends are going to retrace that very walk today, so I will try to keep everyone updated

The route that Olisa may have taken on his walk to Leigh Woods the day before (it's not MSM, but I know he lives on Stanley Road, Redland, Bristol) Also a few Avon and Somerset Police approved posts on some rumours about what he may have done when he left the second time.

Concerns are growing over the welfare of a student whose disappearance has been described by his friends as completely out of character.

Olisa Odukwe, 20, who is in his second year at the University of Bristol, was last seen leaving his Redland home on a bicycle early on Saturday morning.

His phone has been switched off ever since.

Avon and Somerset Police is appealing for information and said it was "extremely concerned" for his welfare.


Concerns grow for missing university student - BBC News

 

[MsMiniSleuth]

Friends of missing student, Olisa Odukwe, have revealed that he left his home in Redland on Saturday morning without his wallet and with his phone switched off or not with him.

Earlier that morning, his phone recorded him cycling through Harbourside at 4am. This is the last recorded location from his phone.

Students are organising a search through Ashton Court and Leigh Woods today amid growing concerns for the welfare of the second year student who went missing on 1st May.

If you have any information please contact the police on 999 and provide case number 5221094539.

Beginning in Ashton Court Estate car park, volunteers aim to follow the route Olisa took last Friday through Ashton Court and Leigh Woods from his home in Redland.

Yesterday, over 300 missing person posters were put up in Bristol as local charities offered to help print out posters.

Night searches have been carried out in the past two nights in Leigh Woods using thermal imaging cameras. These cameras work best at night to locate a heat source. However they can only cover a limited area. Students are being encouraged to help take part in a day search to cover as much area as possible.

Well, I wonder what he went to the pub on the quayside for at 4am. Pubs aren't open due to covid lock down, and certainly wouldn't be open at that time anyway.
I'm guessing lessons/lectures at the university are all online, so he wouldn't have actually had to attend.
I wonder what he was up to?
The quayside visit may be a money or drug deal? Then an argument with girlfriend later?
MOO.

 

[BOBON]

Is there any proof apart from the girlfriend's statement that Olisa made it back home at 5? CCTV?
As far as I understand, he left at 4 and his phone stopped pinging then because it was either thrown or turned off. I just think it adds an oddity to the case that he'd go out in the middle of the night, come back home to bed only to leave again 2 hours later? If he had to be somewhere, he'd have had to set an alarm which I'm sure the girlfriend would have noticed and most people use their own cellphone as an alarmclock, if he didn't have his phone, does that mean he just lay awake for 2 hours and then left again? Did he say anything when he left to the GF or did she just wake up and he was gone? At which point I wonder why we know it's certain that he left at 7

Not pointing any fingers, I am just running through possibilities
