Gregs words..
Yesterday, the day after he sobbed at a press conference appealing for her safe return, he was staying with her parents at their home in Ampfield, Hampshire.
‘Over the weekend I had tried calling and texting her and didn’t have a reply, but Jo didn’t always reply so it wasn’t completely out of character.
Then when I arrived home it was obvious our cat had been left on his own and was going mad. I waited up for her until about midnight and then when she didn’t return I started to get really worried.
‘I went through her bag, which she had left on the table and found it had all the stuff she would need to take with her, things like her purse and her keys.
‘I called the police and reported her missing and also phoned her parents. Since then I haven’t slept much.
‘I’m constantly on the internet trying to raise awareness on Facebook and some of her friends from Hampshire have even come up to Bristol to put up missing posters.’
He continued: ‘She was the first ever girlfriend I moved in with. Recently we moved in to a really nice flat together in probably the best area of Bristol.
‘It’s our second place together and things felt like they were really falling into place. We were both really happy in our jobs – we worked together and that’s how we met.
‘We’ve had our cat, Bernard, for about a year, since he was a kitten, and he means the world to us. Things were set for us.
‘We were going to stay with her parents for about a week over Christmas then head up to Scotland for Hogmanay.
‘She was really looking forward to Christmas. We had put up a tree and she was due to bake some mince pies.
‘We celebrated our second anniversary on December 11 and I took her out for dinner – it was perfect.’
Mr Reardon’s half-brother Francis, 33, who he is understood to have seen at his semi-detached house in Sheffield over the weekend, was yesterday reluctant to discuss the visit.
He said: ‘I’ve given the police a statement, they’ve got all the times and everything, so I don’t know if I should be saying anything.’
